> layer system is truly baffling In my opinion, that can be no easy use of a 3D painting app. 3D painting is inherently complex. Firstly, there are the many component layers of a material; roughness, bump etc. Then there are the baked Maps which are employed by the app in order to Define where the textures are going to be wighted. for example, the normal to Define dust falling from above, the ambient occlusion to Define dust falling into crevices etc. These are, effectively, masks. Add to that are the blend modes using which these layers are all combined. For example the ambient occlusion is combined with the color through a multiply blend mode. In summary, painting a texture on a 3D object is truly a pan dimensional problem.
