Painting textures on the model directly?

Hello,

i wanted to ask if there's a way or a software that could allow me to directly paint or edit textures on "genesis 8 male" for an example.

since the unwarapped UVs will take a lot of trail and error if i wanna paint a tattoo that goes through several parts.

 

Thank you!

    I don't think you can use GoZ to pass texture maps to Zbrush. Best 3D painting softwares are the ones that are made for that purpose: painting maps on 3D objects. Allegorithmic Substance Painter  and The Foundry Mari. They are expensive, but I think there is an educational version of Mari for free.

    I don't use GoZ but an obj export without the UDIM mapping collapsed will produce a perfectly good mesh you can subdivide and paint on in Zbrush  with polypaint brush then use the multi map exporter plugin to export your textures
