Mud Wrestling

Posted on December 14, 2006

Well, I’ve finally got to try my hand at the Mudbox Beta, ironically just as the first official 1.0 version is being released.

Instead of a combination of dirt and water, what we have here is a combination of a powerful 3d sculpting tool with an intuitive interface with viewport controls and workflow that are very much in line with Maya and Photoshop.

For 3D artists, Mudbox is just as sexy as it sounds. It really does feel more like sculpting than 3d modeling.
Here are some screen shots of things I’ve began playing with in Mudbox.
