i would say it does not matter. use the app you're better in. mudbox is easy to pick up. zbrush is hard to learn, but has more featuers. for the normal user i would suggest to use mudbox. enough features for normal usage there and easier to learn. but for terrain sculpting it does not matter. just block out your terrain in…
I corrected the pants and some of the other assets like the jacket and belt. I'd love to put more time into them, but I'm under a class deadline. I'm now going to unwrap and export the character after one quick touch-up (easing the surface detail on some of the clothes). I plan to start texturing the model with a blend of…
If its linux distro isn't too modified, like if they still keep X (which I kinda hope they dont since X IMO is very limiting for GUI front end developers). They should be able to run blender out of the box. There is also wine, wine is not a emulator, which does allow some 3d programs to run. Like certain versions of 3dmax…
I have the same issue with all the obj I exported except the samples files by quixel. I use 3dsmax 2014 64bits and DDO 1.6. The settings in 3dsmax to export are:

Liquidmetal: Yes, animated mesh is the "cage" which you see in the right side of zbrush screencap - This in turn is just displacement mapped in 3dsmax (similar process to using normalmaps in 3dsmax)

Im new to unwrapping and was looking for advice on how i could unwrap this in 3dsmax. Not the basics but general theory on were to cut the seams and to use cylindrical or planar, ect in 3DSMAX 9. I tried using UVLayout but it seems more suited to organix meshes. Thanks! -Buddikaman-
