i love mudbox - Oct 04 2010

recently, i was evaluating mudbox, for sculpting and texture painting, nd of course nm/ao map generation. previously, i completely relied on carrara for that, now, being in the hands of the incompetent bunch at DAZ3d, it became more and more clear that i had to abandon their ship and move on. but where? zBrush, Silo, or the 3dcoat everyone is talking about?

i got my hands on mudbox last week and it completely swept me off my feet. no cluttered interface. almost no learning curve. smooth working with millions and millions of polygons. AO and N map generation is seconds. layers, posing, painting. everyone who can spare a thousand bucks and is serious about modelling should have a very close look at it.

this is a hand i made. keep in mind that it's my first model ever in mudbox.



for comparison, this is what came out of carrara:
