MudWalker for Mudbox 2010

Showster

Anyone heard much about the new Mudbox?

This plugin by Wayne Robson seems pretty damn cool http://vimeo.com/5911560

Thats pretty awesome.

Hey, it's GoZ for Mudbox, cool!

Wayne Robson is awesome. Famous 3D Geordie!

never shows Max back into Mud though :P Can retopo, but does it actually get back into mudbox, or can it only go out?

seems cool for those jealous of GoZ however

MoP

Yeah he did say that this release is only focusing on Export, it seems like it can't do one-click re-import (yet).
Does seem like it supports FBX import, though?

I'm gonna move this thread to technical talk, fits better there.

moose

ah right on, i was kinda in/out while watching the vid with some other stuff There were thingies for "import" in there, just never showed em off.

Jeremy Lindstrom

didn't see photoshop...... either hopefully that's on the list too.

its not one-click. At least in mudbox, max and uvLayout its at least 2 clicks if not more. Its kind of a wrong advertisement claiming its just a one click solution which it simply is not.

what really would be awesome would be some independent tool that automates that stupid clicks that it needs to merge, import or update a 3d model with textures. But thats not what this tool does, at least not in the case of UV layout.
Also I assume that in the case of 3dsmax and maya you'll still need to install xtra plugins or scripts in order to send it back or export it.

I am not so impressed after I saw the video,- I expected more by the title itself.

I think the worst part here is that it's for Mudbox 2010, not 2009. I'm really hoping for a cheap upgrade. If it's anything near $200 I'm going to seriously consider a Zbrush or 3D Coat purchase instead.

Well put

Still pissed off about the faceted shading bug. We were originally promised an SP3 that would fix it, but now it seems we'll have to buy the new one...

Ben Apuna

Bad news it looks like the upgrade to Mudbox 2010 from 2009 is $375 add a subscription on top of that for another $250 and we're up to $625...

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm thinking of goingZ right about now.

I Wish I could go back in time to when they were Skymatter and tell myself it's a "bait and switch" don't do it!

Entity

FUUUU

guess i'll just stick with the original Mudbox

Mark Dygert

Not exactly GoZ but a good step forward for Mud. Congrats to Wayne for putting in so much work already. Gotta get it to flow back and that really is the trick...

That there is no dutch accent!

That is a North-Eastern accent if I ever heard one (I have heard quite a few coming from there!)... he lives in the Derwent Valley so it's not quite Geordie - maybe even more Mackum... saying that hes got a Geordie accent could get you into trouble where he's from Im sure!

MoP

lol, dutch accent

renderhjs

ok lol ,- but some vocals sound very similar

verybad

Wow, this guy kicks more ass than Godzilla.

ceebee

Count me in for hating his voice. It's almost as annoying as somebody who talks on the phone/over voicechat with a coughdrop in their mouth. UGH.

Gilgamesh

How can you hate the Geordie accent!

Shame this is only available for 2010 and not 2009, because I will not be upgrading that's for sure at that price
