Mudbox

So, I've been trying out mudbox.. It's not difficult to understand what's going on or anything which is a big plus. It's easy to navigate I never fail to find what I'm looking for. But using the right things with the right things... I mean, I imported a simple model of a cactus i made in about 30 seconds... and tried to sculpt it and paint it. But it seems that models ready for sculpting need to be flawless AND nothing must be duplicated cause when I paint one thing the duplicated bit gets painted too O_o At least that's what I think happened because I can't explain it any other way.

Apart from that it's quite fun to use and I see how it can come in very useful when working with things that need to be really detailed. Also working with big objects would be a plus. It makes things look a lot more natural.

Used amplify tool to create an uneven surface.

Pinched it here and there to create the spikes.

Here is what happened when i tried to paint it... yea.
