The seamless creative freedom the tools provide and realistic feel of materials as their sculpted, shaped, and crafted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve was always my biggest problem personally, coming from using adobe software, although its frustrating when certain things have to be done in a particular way to work properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the paint layers work similar to those in photoshop and how easy it is to use the sculpting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that some of the sculpt tools don't really work as effectively as I would like. I wish though that I could sculpt in mudbox when I have dual screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The texturing and it's layer systems

Sculpting with vector displacement map

Subdivision method for exploring the normal an displacement maps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3d an 2d paint integration

Like mari i can go from uv to 3d very easily

The flatten to uv space function is not handy

Cant use mask based on uv like importing mask i have made on photoshop and then use it. As mask like zbrush the displace with image is not predectable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mudbox is meant to be an alternative to Pixologic Zbrush, as such it does most of the same things, just differently. Mudbox has a much easier to use interface and has some better paint tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mudbox does not have Zbrush's dynamesh system, as such, its sculpting capabilities do not come close to Zbrush. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layer system close to photoshop in some ways. The viewport is simple and easy to understand. I really like to use the stencil tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Mudbox in college. I enjoyed the easy-to-use intuitive interface, which seemed to be designed specifically FOR artists (as opposed to something more logical to operate, eg 3DS Max.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the tools seem limited and required to integrate with other software, so the exporting and importing is a bit of a time loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
