"My mudbox review"
3/5
What do you like best about Mudbox?

I used the program mainly to texture my model , I feel this is the feature I like the most being able to paint in layers and in different channels to see how it all looks , the interface was super easy to use , Maya friendly controls , "Send to Maya" and "Send to 3DS Max" is pretty awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mudbox?

it doesn`t really hold against very high poly count which really somehow makes it weaker than the rivals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Autodesk Mudbox"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Mudbox?

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.

What do you dislike about Mudbox?

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.

"Artist-Brain-Friendly 3D Sculpting Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Mudbox?

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.

What do you dislike about Mudbox?

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.
