Mudbox 2015: new retopology workflows, better Maya interoperability
Outside the hero products, the updates are also smaller – if you’re a non-Maya-user, at least.
Mudbox 2015 gets some interesting workflows for handling 3D scans, including the option to enforce perfect symmetry when retopologising asymmetric meshes; and new Sculpt Layer and Paint Layer grouping options.
Other than that – aside from a new Caliper tool, and better support for Windows 8 tablets – the new features are mainly designed to improve interoperability with Maya.
These include the ability to exchange Ptex and multi-tile UV textures, and blendshapes; and better image-plane matching, enabling artists to use the same reference images in the two packages without rescaling. |
