Paint object along mesh?

[alberto-maciel]

Hi guys! i'm new here, and in maya too!
i'm from 3ds max, and i'm learning maya about 2 weeks by myself.

my question is: I can paint object(s) along a existent mesh? something like new 3ds max tools, or advanced paint script to 3ds max? ( like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo8zPOS\_1ds )

Exist any Script, or plugin to maya to do this? its a freaking time saving! ^^

and sorry for my very bad english!

Built into maya since version 2 (thats year 2002 approximately). Called artisan theres a example script thet does this that ships with maya (you can extend it).

Choose Modift -> Paint Scripts tool

then open the tool option (doubleclick on sacred tool icon), expand setup and type geometryPaint into the setup field.

Anyway its just a demo you can expand it and make it more accessible if you want to.
