Paint with a pressure of about 2%

Also, in preferences, make sure you click 'graphics tablet'

- make sure all your UVs are the same size or else when you go across the seams, your strokes won't match perfectly.

do I imort a model or do I open a uvw....Does it need to be in jpeg format or does targa work...

when you import your model, it will have it's uv information.

theres a plug in you can install in your max folders and work from there. Then it should import any material you have attached to the object when you export it.

As for tutorials.. nope not really 2% opacity 40% hardness.. go to work. Its all about the painting skills. Its kind of like asking if theres a trick to the eraser in photoshop. It pretty much just erases =)
