First, some background. When we rolled out the first big Autodesk release of Mudbox as Autodesk Mudbox 2009, we were actually releasing a product that had undergone some major upgrades "under the hood". That is, a powerful new engine that would drive the software, but also allow us to increase the performance and capabilities of the workflow and tools within Mudbox. With the release of the Subscription Advantage Pack for Autodesk Mudbox 2012, we are seeing the unleashing of a powerful new core that allows for the handling of massive amounts of detail. As a result of this powerful underlying architecture, texture painting has reached a new level of detail.
