Mudbox

by Administrator on Jul.07, 2009, under Technical Production Notes

Mudbox allows me to create and refine the organic items in the short such as the character heads, bodies, trees, etc.  A fabulous software, that does require some know how despite its user friendly interface. I am useing Mudbox 2009 Service pack 2 64bit on Vista 64.

- Importing texture layers. I created a base head in Maya to start working from in mudbox. In that process, I created strarting color, bump, and spec textures. Note that bump maps and other grey scale textures need to be 8 bit. So, if you are pulling it from Photoshop, make your texture grey scale before exporting for use in Mudbox.
