+ | What is MudBox: MudBox is a 3D design software. It has the look and feeling of sculpting clay. It's one of many ways to create or sculpt a virtual model on your PC or Mac screen. Complex models require a very fast computer. Pricing is 30 free demo, or $10.00 USD a month, or one-time $500.00 USD purchase. There might be a cloud-streaming version. \\ | ||

+ | * XYZ Axis: Three directions, represented by Red Green Blue colors. Z means vertical or, up and down. X follows the ground, pointing East. Y follows the ground, pointing true North. The three lines meet at 0 which means your center Origin. An object rotates around the axis of your choosing. \\ | ||

+ | 3D Design Software\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From Pixologic: zBrush. Sculptris (Free sculpting software).\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From AutoDesk: MudBox. Maya. CAD. (and much more).\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From Adobe: Adobe Photoshop's 3D Features.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From Google: SketchUp.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From Agisoft: Agisoft photoscan can turn photos into a 3D model.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * From Microsoft: photosynth.net live examples of Microsoft's point clouds.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Cinema4D, Bryce, Blender (free), and more.\\ | ||

+ | MudBox 2015 vs zBrush 4R6. Showdown!\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Installed Size: \\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Bugs: \\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Cost USD: \\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Learning Curve: zBrush is a far more complex, feature-filled software. Mudbox is much easier to pick up and sculpt, slightly more traditional.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * MudBox has close integration with other Autodesk applications.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * MudBox has a small community, whereas zBrush has an immense army of users and content.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Creating New Mesh Topology: ZBrush uses ZRemesher while Mudbox calls its function Retopologize. This can optimize your sculpt geometry, lowering polygons.\\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Map Baking: A final step in a sculpt. The calculation of normal or displacement maps. \\ | ||
+ | .\\ | ||
+ | * Verdict: RoyceBarber.com gives both apps a joyous 9 out of 10. Starting out, use MudBox and optionally graduate to zBrush.\\ | ||

+ | Misc Notes\\ | ||
+ | * 3D objects can be prepped and sent to a 3D printer, video game, virtual reality tours, and more.\\ | ||
