If you can apply fish scales to a car’s surface with it, then you can certainly use the Akvis Decorator plug-in for more serious design purposes.
The $54 software, a plug-in for Photoshop, Corel, etc., has been updated to Version 1.6. It lets you apply a new texture/color to an object while preserving its volume (yes, like applying fish scales to a car, or dressing up whole buildings with paintings).
With this software, for example, you can quickly choose a suitable design for your apartment by playing with different colors and patterns for furniture, walls, curtains, decorations, etc. It’s useful for designers to show the customers the same room in different versions or for web-designers to represent the same items in an online shop (china-ware, blankets, clothes, piece of furniture, etc) in different colors/patterns.
You may try it for free. Go to the Akvis site to download a 10-day trial version.
