Designed by professional artists in the film, games, and design industries, Autodesk® Mudbox™ digital sculpting and texture painting software gives 3D modelers and texture artists the freedom to create without worrying about the technical details.

Autodesk Mudbox 2009 combines a highly intuitive user interface with a powerful creative toolset for creating ultra-realistic high-poly 3D models. Breaking the mold of traditional 3D modeling applications, Mudbox 2009 provides an organic brush-based 3D modeling experience that ignites the creative process.

Features Hightlight

New workflows make using Autodesk® Mudbox™ software in conjunction with Adobe® Photoshop® , Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® Softimage® software easier than ever.

Photoshop
PSD File Support -
Round-tripping of Mudbox paint layers (converting to and from Photoshop) is now possible through added support for PSD import and export.

Mudbox/Photoshop Map Workflows -
Mudbox artists can now transfer Mudbox paint layers into Photoshop, for touch up, and bring them back into Mudbox—while working in either UV space or in 3D screen space

FBX
Newly added support for the Autodesk® FBX® software file transfer technology helps make it possible for artists to transfer 3D scenes built in 3ds Max, Maya and Softimage into Mudbox with greater portability and more data retained than was previously possible using the .obj file format. This means greater productivity as artists no longer have to redo as much work.

Creative Tools and Workflows
Mudbox 2010 offers a number of new productivity-enhancing and/or quality-enhancing tools.

Software Developer Kit (SDK)
The addition to Mudbox of a software developer kit (SDK) opens up the software as never before, giving developers the ability to customize Mudbox and integrate it with their production pipeline. This is the launch of the Mudbox SDK and it is anticipated to be expanded with future releases.
