Mudbox 2009 or zBrush 3.1 in an upcoming eat3d video
polycounter lvl 9
Hello everyone!
Im working on a new next-gen training DVD that is similar to the old pillar but more modular and much more in depth. I even plan to split it into 3 DVDs so I can focus on each part in much more depth.
The first part will be the high res modeling and I was wondering that if I decide to use a sculpting app to add details and so on, which one should I use?
I use Mudbox alot in some general cases but ZBrush is amazing too and Ive used both a ton in production.
If you could hit this link and vote in the poll that would be great to help me decide. (no registration required to vote)

Either way, I'm sure it will be filled to the brim with useful insight

There's a ton of Zbrush videos out there already. We need quality Mudbox videos where the instructor has prepared in advance for the tutorial he's presenting.

I was gonna say this. Although I wouldn't have misspelled rubble. Pixologic have been releasing tons of video tutorials for free, yours would want to offer something pretty spectacular to sell...maybe Mudbox would be better?
projection master in zbrush vs stencils in mudbox
subtools in zbrush vs separated objects in mud
powerhouse polygon sculpting in z but poor zoomed in performance vs lower polygons in mud but consistant framerate
I don't think I have ever seen that, that would be sweet I think.
"Both" would allow users to see the differences (or equal capabilities) between the two, which would be cool.

Just FYI, there is a Stencil tool (which is working exactly like Mudbox) in Zbrush now
-> Select your Alpha (Alpha panel > Make St)

I'm gonna vote for Mudbox, because it seems less documented than Zbrush (even if it's super simple, I guess there are still some little tips here and there to learn?) Let's hope the next version won't crash/freeze on my pc
Also, I wouldn't go the complete beginner route and explain every single tool though as they are plenty or beginner dvds and tutorials out there already.
On a side note, your dvds have been a great help to me plus, you've always let me download them before my pay pal has gone through.
1) Your last dvd was using mudbox, soo i cant buy that one
2) I dont wanna go out and buy mudbox just for this
3) Then if you do both not only are you making money, you are educating more people
I you could do the pillar tutorial with zbrush, it's basically just using noisy brushes to take chunks out of the pillar and generally ding things up.
Well done for not spotting the funnez.
Ahh... now that's what I'm talking about!
Ill make an official post when its released, thanks again for helping us decide what to use in the video.
