And then, is someone know when we can hope to get this amazing soft ?

That is a tech demo of technology they are working on but to my knowledge there is no “official” word on when or what version it will be included with. My guess would be we’ll see it in 301 though, but that is purely speculation at this point.

Could be great they include it in the next version.
No other soft needed to make detailed objects.
But how it will work into animate software, Messiah for example, That’s the question. I don’t know your point about this but i surely keep my eyes on it!

I heard later this year … thats why Im holding out from purchasing Mud Box … Mud Box is sweet!!! Makes Zbrush look so convoluted!!

#5

I don’t know how Mudbox is, but i tried zbrush and yes this is other way to work, it’s not like almost the other 3D software. That make it really convoluted i agree.

Is it true that Mudbox was used by Weetaworkshop for “Kingkong” ??

from what I know Weta made Mubox …so I guess it has been used on all their movies including Lord of the Rings … gollum.

Luxology have stated clearly that mesh sculpting will be released in 2007 so there is a good chance it will be part of 301 and released later this year. I wouldn’t be too hopeful that it will be a replacement for ZBrush or Mudbox though, I doubt it will handle the super high poly counts those apps deal with. You never know though!

With regard to ZB and Mudbox. Much of the sculpting work Weta did on Lord of the RIngs Trilogy was done in ZB when they were beta testing for Pixologic. Mudbox came later.

Mudbox was NOT developed by Weta but was developed by people who worked for Weta. It’s a subtle distinction but Skymatter (the developers of Mudbox) are independant of Weta.
