The key reason to upgrade to the 2009 version of this modelling software is to take advantage of the new texture-painting toolset.
Mudbox now offers true 3D painting: that is, the paint is applied with brush position precisely aligned to the model surface, so that paint goes where it’s required. It also offers layers with support for opacity, while a selection of mirroring controls applies the paint symmetrically.
There’s a brush-based toolset, as in the previous version, but this has been enhanced by paint tools such as projection painting, a paintbrush, an airbrush, a colour picker, a pencil and a paint eraser. If you’re using a Wacom tablet to sculpt anyway, as Mudbox recommends, the inclusion of such painting tools is a boon.
MudBox 2009 Student Windows (13-month license) is available at an academic discount price of $99.
