The Foundry will be demonstrating some new software products at the upcoming NAB2010, and fxguide has an inside scoop on one product in particular: Mari.  Meant as a dedicated 3D Painting & Texturing tool, the sentence below is really all you need to know about it:

In all, this means Mari is happy managing over 100 gigabyte geometry and texture data sets on a single model without slowing down artist interaction and workflow. High performance is achieved with modest hardware requirements (2-4 gigabyte system memory, .5-1 gigabyte graphics memory), with Mari automatically making efficient use of available resources and background task processes.

Once you’ve picked your jaw up off the floor, head on over to fxGuide to read the details.
