Field notes
The guide explains how painted strokes travel through texture space, so UV layout affects their appearance. Before baking, the add-on checks for UV overlaps, faces outside the 0–1 range, faces with no area, uneven density, and wasted space; it can make a new UV layer if needed. The page lists 24 brush shapes and five presets, and notes that Blender pauses during painting.
