The background is set to 0.5 grey and rendered as TIFF 16 from Maya. However, when applied as a sculpt using 'displacement' in Mudbox, the mesh slightly inflates (or deflates actually) every so slightly. Is the issue cuases by my mid grey from Maya , tiff format or something else ? thanks Ben 2012-02-09T10:27:56+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/tool-problems/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/tool-problems/page-last/#When:10:21:00Z Hello, I'm fairly new to Mudbox and I'm having some problems. The knife tool suddenly stopped working halfway through a sculpt and is now working more like the sculpt tool instead of the knife one. How come this has happened and how do I fix it?

I made the bones in maya, at level 0 of the geometry. Exported, and in mudbox I painted all the bones influences at level 0. Perfect, I could do any pose, move fingers, move legs, etc, save poses and so on. The problem is, when I subdivided the model for further detailing, my bone weights are all incorrect, and the polygons won't deform correctly. I tried to make the bone weights again at level 4 and it's extremely slow and improper for any kind of production. What's the use of posing in mudbox, if when you raise the level of subdivision you lose all the weights at level 0? and impossible to paint and smooth at a higher level? 2012-02-08T13:06:02+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/camera-import-from-maya-/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/camera-import-from-maya-/page-last/#When:12:24:29Z Hi there, I am exporting a camera from Maya 2011 - as an .fbx file. When importing that camera into Mudbox, I am not getting the same view when I look through. It looks like the FOV has changed. I am also looking for a resolution gate - inside Maya, I can set my camera to look through the resolution gate I am rendering. But I can't find that option inside Mudbox. I setup a camera inside Maya using an Image Plane. I basically project an image to the image plane, and started to model a low poly geometry. The camera, plus the geo was exported as an .fbx, and borught into Mudbox. I want to use the projection tool inside Mudbox. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't fit - what am I doing wrong ? thx for any hint, suggestion, help and advice ! 2012-02-07T12:24:29+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/is-there-a-mudbox-2013-beta-we-can-sign-up-for/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/is-there-a-mudbox-2013-beta-we-can-sign-up-for/page-last/#When:09:23:15Z Is there a Mudbox 2013 Beta we can sign up for? 2012-02-07T09:23:15+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/first-model-in-mudbox-problem-transfering-detail-please-help/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/first-model-in-mudbox-problem-transfering-detail-please-help/page-last/#When:01:15:20Z Hello everybody (excuse my english). So my problem is that i create this model in mudbox, i then tookit to other app to create Retopology and UVs, i came back to Mudbox to transfer the detail and Kaboom, "that was not, what i expected". I dont know if this could be an issue, but when i do the retopology i put holes in eyes and mouth. because i wanted to add eyeballs later. I thought that those holes could be a problem so i tried to cap those holes but the resault is the same, im thankfull for any tips or advice on mi problem. Thanks in advanced. You can see the mmodel jpeg and the problems i been having 2012-02-07T01:15:20+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/how-to/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/how-to/page-last/#When:03:31:18Z here i'm useing mudbox normal map output came with pixels i want to smooth output when i'm useing map, i 'veing same problem with zbrush also ..... guys could plz help ..... 2012-02-06T03:31:18+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/subscription-question/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/subscription-question/page-last/#When:03:29:27Z I have Mudbox 2012 Educational edition and looking to find out what I need to do if it's possible. From my research I'm guessing not. Im looking to gain access to the Hard Edges/Creases that is given to those that have a subscription. What are my options? If it'll be available to the public soon then I won't worry about it and I'll wait. I didn't know there was a subscription service until now. 2012-02-06T03:29:27+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/vray-in-mudbox-your-thoughts/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/vray-in-mudbox-your-thoughts/page-last/#When:08:47:18Z What do you think of vray in mudbox, a viable solution?, Imagine a rt version using the gpu to produce final renders straight from mudbox :) 2012-02-04T08:47:18+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/gloss--spec/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-mudbox/general-discussion/gloss--spec/page-last/#When:07:44:13Z 3 part question, as I attempt to paint highlights into a human face model: 1) Why does painting with gloss or specular darken the diffuse layer? Can this be avoided? 2) Why, when I send the model to Maya, does the gloss and spec disappear, and the entire model in Maya becomes shiny instead of just the places I painted? 3) When do people use gloss vs. specular? I watched a tutorial that recommended sticking only to gloss to add skin highlights, unless you want to break up an area of uniform specularity, then use spec with black paint to diminish it in places. Opinions on this? Thanks! 2012-02-04T07:44:13+01:00
