I like being able to do retopology in Mudbox and send it straight to Maya with bump maps and textures. With the integration of Ptex you don’t even have to UV unwarp your mesh which saves a lot of time. I felt that texture painting was a lot like painting in Photoshop, just on a 3D surface. I’ve found sculpting to be a lot of fun, and texture painting to be less of a chore in it. The interface is fairly simple and most of it is very straightforward. Overall, I found Mudbox very easy to learn and get used to.
Maya and 3DS Max are the main modeling applications you’ll see in the industry and it’s nice that you can send files back and forth between them. It’s part of Autodesk’s 3D software line so it has direct integration.
Mudbox is a Digital sculpting and texture painting application. I’ll start with Mudbox since that’s the one that I’ve had the most experience with. It all comes down to preference which one you want to use, but most of the time you’ll have to use a specific one for a specific task. Both are used in the industry and even at the same time. Both have their advantages and their disadvantages, and I’ll be going over my personal experiences with both of these.
I am curios if someone else also tested this and can tell more about this, or have differnet experience.Continuing with the theme of sculpting applications that I’ve been doing lately, I would like to talk with you guys about the two big names in 3D sculpting right now: Pixelogic’s Zbrush and Autodek’s Mudbox. I really want to get the best out of this great nanite system. Also no direct painting on Nanite (atm), convertion to SM needed to paint on mesh.Not easy to change with switching textures (If without UV´s).No AO/Normal/Metalic without additional textures (still can be set up with Parameters).Size of the mesh (compressed nanite size).Painting density (resolution) depends on the density of the mesh.Very high density mesh is a must have (seems like).Override of the base painting if needed by adding textures and paint into another channel.I know using only vertex painting is very limited, at the moment still testing different ways what is possible to do.įor some basics like stones and such kinda things this could be great to use i think. If the mesh is very high density this also happends, but you dont notice this if you do not know what you are looking for. If the mesh is to low on density, you get popups with the painting because nanite reduce the verts based on the distance and with this naturaly also reduce the paint informations. It looks to me the way Nanite works only works with really high poly meshes. So i tested to use Polypainting in ZBrush and use vertex colors in UE 5. After reading this “ unreal-marketplace-has-gone-nanite-insane” i was testing today again how to use Nanite a good way.
