The fact that invisible can be used too is absolutely brilliant, so you can have whatever colour you choose fade to, say, a spot like a belly button.]]> Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:10:47 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1301-sorting-out-my-skin.aspx
Aye, the trick is to use Layers in your painting program to paint underneath the grid. When you want to save your texture you simply hide the layer with the grid and export.

Freakmoomin's link will explain all

When I have the map for, say, the lady, it is neatly marked as a grid. This would be perfect to fill in the individual fingernails (4 squares each roughly) and a nice shade of pink - or whatever the current fad is. However, I don't know how to remove the grid afterwards, and the poor lady looks like she's been run over by 4 million ants on bicycles...

I have tried layers, but the paint function on one layer fills that entire layer, not just the one nail section.

The only tool I know that can do polygons is Microsoft's paint, but that can't do layers. I also won't do Photoshop... because you have to pay for it.

I've tried Paint.net (not a bad one at all actually) but still no bananas.

Any advice please?
