Erm, Dave is there a chance to be more explicit about talking to a salesperson about a linux version of Mudbox please?

Most of the ‘killer’ apps and plugins are windows only at present, I’m based in a large Film VFX house which is Linux- Maya centric. For artists to be able to use software such as dRaster NEX, mudobx, zbrush, modo we have to consider budget and get a second box for windows, (or dual boot), either way its more money, and not all modellers will get one.

I can honestly say if Modo, zbrush or mudbox came out on Linux, (and was stable) there would be a huge preference to using that software over another one, especially as a lot of our work is simply sculpting geometry which all of these apps do well.  I personally love mudbox as we have a renderman pipeline, and that, along with NEX are top of my Linux-app wishlist.

Ah well, no matter, we’ll all be using google OS in a few years anyway…
