Hi there,

first i have to say the more i play with it the more i like this piece of software.
I don’t know if somebody brought this up before.

As some of the users here requested a palette for color swatches i searched for a workaround.

By using the image plane option in the Camera settings you can use whatever colorpalette
you want. Just simply slap some color on an new canvas in Photoshop or whatever
pixel program you use and save out a tiff file. I made a rectangular wide strip with my
dots of color and used it as an image plane. By using the “E” key you can move it around
and with the build in color picker you can pick you colors without having to click into
the tab on the side and then again into the color window.
Saves some clicks while working.

Actually you can also put any image of your color picker in there.
There are plenty of possible images you can use.
Put a photo of an actual person in, use a real texture for picking the colors.

Yep been doing that one for ages. :)

Very nice, prayas. ;) I seem to be too old for this stuff. Any idea why my imageplane keeps moving in positive x and y directions, no matter where I move the pen or mouse?

No idea. Mine moves right. Maybe someone else has to answer this.

Thanks, nevermind. Next time I started Mudbox it worked alright..
