About posing the characters in mudbox

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have questions about posing the character so hope ou guys can help me, thank

1) do you pose your character before or after the sculpting?
2) if pose after sculpting, there will be some area that be deform so how do you guys fix that?
3) do you guys use rig to pose the character?

sorry for my bad english

that depends on your needs...

if the character is only for a still render...
i would pose them after the blocking...

if you like to animate the char i wouldnt pose him at all...


i do the posing in mud for still rendering...
