Stephen Mann takes the new Autodesk Mudbox 2009 for a spin, and is pleasantly surprised by the performance improvements Autodesk has made, and the new attention to ease-of-use.
This new version of Mudbox is amazingly fast. I was able to smooth my models over the 32-million polygon range, and except for the time it took to do the conversion, there was no perceived slow down. Once smoothed, sculpting and painting are just as fast as they are on a 6,000 face polygon model.
