Dinosaur tutorial.

Well I ran through a Digitaltutors tutorial on mudbox. Its a pretty fascinating program. My favorite things seem to be the painting and stencil tools. It makes it so easy to slap on textures that increase the realism of a model.

Here I have just done some basic 2 minute sculpting in the face. He looks very suspicious.

And then its so easy to throw on a stencil and add a great texture which adds so much to the realism in such a short amount of time. I added another stencil on the neck lips and snout.

then few paint layers with a stamp and an alpha turned on gives a nice organic look to it. My color choices aren't that natural.

Then I used a vector displacement which is SO cool to put in some ear detail.

Another remarkable feature was the posing tools. This allows you to essentially make a very rudimentary rig and pose your sculpture.

So all in all I'm not sure if I like this better than zbrush or not. I need to do a couple more tutorials of each to learn their advanced features. So far the painting seems better in mudbox, but the sculpting seemed to feel better in zbrush.
