Mudbox is a proprietary computer-based 3D sculpting and painting tool. developed by Autodesk, Mudbox was created by Skymatter, founded by Tibor Madjar, David Cardwell and Andrew Camenisch, former artists of Weta Digital, where it was first used to produce the 2005 Peter Jackson remake of King Kong. Mudbox's primary application is high-resolution digital sculpting, texture painting, and displacement and normal map creation, although it is also used as a design tool. Mudbox was developed by Skymatter in New Zealand as the founders David Cardwell, Tibor Madjar and Andrew Camenisch were working on The Lord of the Rings at Weta Digital circa 2001. They created the software to expand their own toolsets, and Mudbox was first used as a complete product in the 2005 film King Kong. The beta was released in May 2006, followed by version 1.0 in mid-February 2007. On August 6, 2007, Autodesk announced the acquisition of Skymatter. Since 2020, no new features or bugfixes have been implemented except for new installers. However, there are still yearly new releases. Mudbox's user interface is a 3D environment that allows the creation of movable cameras that can be bookmarked. Models created within the program typically start as a polygon mesh that can be manipulated with a variety of different tools. A model can be subdivided to increase its resolution and the number of polygons available to sculpt with. 3D layers allow the user to store different detail passes, blending them with multiplier sliders and layer masks. Using layers, the user is able to sculpt and mold their 3D model without making permanent changes. As a detailing app, Mudbox can import and export .obj, .fbx, and .bio files, as well as its own .mud format. A typical workflow is to create a relatively simple (low polygon count) model in a 3D modeling application and then import it to Mudbox for sculpting. Subdivision of models occurs using the Catmull-Clark subdivision algorithm. The sculpting tool set contains an assortment of brushes with adjustable falloffs.

Mudbox

Mudbox est un logiciel de modélisation 3D . En effet Mudbox, comme son principal rival, ZBrush, permet de sculpter en temps réel sur un objet en 3d. Cette utilisation devient de plus en plus courante pour finaliser ou détailler un modèle réalisé, notamment dans l'industrie du cinéma. Pour être tout à fait efficace, un logiciel de sculpture devra être capable d'afficher énormément de polygones en même temps.

Digital sculpting

Digital sculpting, also known as sculpt modeling or 3D sculpting, is the use of software that offers tools to push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance such as clay. The geometry used in digital sculpting programs to represent the model can vary; each offers different benefits and limitations. The majority of digital sculpting tools on the market use mesh-based geometry, in which an object is represented by an interconnected surface mesh of polygons that can be pushed and pulled around.

Blender

Blender est un logiciel libre de modélisation, d’animation par ordinateur et de rendu en 3D, créé en 1998. Il est actuellement développé par la Fondation Blender. Depuis 2019 le logiciel Blender est de plus en plus reconnu par les entreprises du secteur de l'animation 3D, comme Epic Games, Ubisoft et NVIDIA. Il propose des fonctions avancées de modélisation (dont la sculpture 3D, le et dépliage UV, etc), d’animation 3D (rigging, blend shapes), et de rendu (sur GPU comme sur CPU).
