In this DVD, Instructor Riki Babington guides you through many of the powerful features in Autodesk Mudbox. Riki starts off with the UI and then goes into importing and exporting your meshes. From there he gets into the sculpt brushes and then into the extensive painting features. Further topics include using pose tools, curves, cameras and lights, viewport filters, map extraction, sculpting with maps, and rendering. As a bonus he then goes into the new features recently released in the Subscription Advantage Pack including the Gigatexel Engine, smoothing groups, creating and combining normal maps from bump maps, using the tiling plane, and much more. Finally, Riki demonstrates how to create a portfolio quality sculpt of an old wall. He begins inside 3ds Max and goes all the way through completion.
This DVD is perfect for those who want to understand the power of Autodesk Mudbox and how to use it to create a portfolio quality environment piece.
