I wonder if you can paint directly in ZBrush (from the materials, it seems that you should be able to), as then we'd be able to paint directly onto the hull of the ship... Though then there is still the problem of outputting a .dds file for the textures...
Can Photoshop really open up .obj files? It would be much simpler if we could simply paint onto the hull of the boat rather than having to break it down in textures and masks and then indirectly paint and test (though with that system, simple paint jobs can take as few as 10 mouse clicks once you have a mask set up properly... not that I'd ever post a simple paint job like that though...)
The one thing I really like about ZBrush is the ease with which it lets you change the model around, something that may come in handy if any of us decide to try to get that cold war mod moving seriously...
