Mudbox is much less confusing than Zbrush - Thanks for letting us switch over, Jeff, I could not have possibly learned Zbrush within 2 weeks but maybe I can learn some Mudbox
The problem is that after I got to video 14 in the Introduction to Mudbox tutorials, the program keeps shutting down so I do not know what to do
First I learned how to divide the dragonfly's body up into parts using a chopful alpha ("I mean..stamp..") and the sculpt tool
Then it turned yellow, annoyingly - but I continued to sculpt detail into it
This was my favorite part - posing the model - I would love to bring other models into here just to pose them ridiculously! (Unfortunately, when I tried bringing my Fox model into here, he was breaking all the Mudbox rules, apparently I modeled him very very wrong...) When he came in an ear and an arm were missing and he was all blocky and non-smoothed...
...So I decided to mess with the shadow-linking of his eyebrows in Maya instead because the shadows were distracting me whenever I looked at renders of it (in the second picture his eyebrows do not cast shadows)
All I did was select everything in the scene, click Rendering>Make Shadow Links, then select the eyebrows and the light source and Break the Shadow Links - Then in the rendering options I had to make sure that under the Quality tab, Shadow Links were on (hooray, I did learn something useful watching all of those Lighting tutorials!)
