All that was in only 10 minutes aprox playing with Create mesh from curves and,and retopo,managing layers, and curves.
For all these tests, I think that an hard surface modeling and create hard surface basemeshes within Mudbox is an affordable task.
For this reason, and with the expereince I gained making that Hard Surface modeling tests, I think there are some simples adds for an future Mudbox2016 that could make me more affordable the hard surface modeling in Mud:
1st: I nthe Curves Tools could be cool an curve tool for be able to draw circular, rectangular an other geometrical forms curves.(onto the mesh surface obviously, not in the screen).
2nd:The cap holes is an good function in Mud 2015, but an Bridge Option for bridge a mesh with another could be an enormous diference in all the things that we could do within Mudbox.
3rd: this is a bit more complex...but no impossible. Add an option in the retopo dialog box for mantain the most possible the topology in frozen areas. Similar at Maitain Detail in Frozen Ares in the Reduce Mesh Dialog Box.
I will continue proving to make more hard surface meshes in Mud and I Could have another ideas for improve and future Mudbox 2016. If the people from Autodesk are interested I can explain,more of the techniques I used, and what could be improved.
