thanks, but for some reason this technique does not work for me. I follow the steps. but it just doesnt work. Maybe this feature doesnt work on mac 3.2 which is the version i have?

Does the object have UVs? I’m pretty sure if you want to paint onto a texture with projection master, you will need to apply a texture onto an object with UVs–otherwise you will be projecting into “polypaint mode” and the object will need to be set to colorize (under Tool->polypaint).

Try this:
In the Tools->UV Map menu, select a map size and press “PUV Tiles” to get a clean UV set on your model.

Go to Tools -> Texture Map and click “Texture On”

Now play with projection master by dropping, painting, and picking up your model . …
