Mudbox

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.
