Autodesk Mudbox 2009 to be available in October 200807.08.2008 Shortly after its recent preview at the Area web site, Autodesk launched Mudbox 2009 software for 3D modelers and texture artists working on entertainment and design projects. Mudbox combines an intuitive user interface with a powerful toolset for creating highly-detailed 3D models, and it has shaped characters in blockbuster movies and games, including The Mist (imdb entry) and Mass Effect (MobyGames entry). Version 2009 boasts: a new paint engine enabling direct painting on 3D models to add detail, regardless of UV distortion or surface complexity, incl. painting of reference images onto a model from screen space using the new Projection brush; better interactivity (in particular, camera manipulation and brush speed have been improved); improved interoperability with Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max; enhanced user interface; and more. Autodesk anticipates that Mudbox 2009 will be available in October 2008 for Windows XP and Vista systems with and MSRP of $745 US. Meanwhile, a 30-day Trial version of Autodesk Mudbox 1.0.7 is available here. [source]www.autodesk.com |
