Mudbox Update 2018.1

[Out-Of-Light]

I came across this in the Knowledge network pages.

http://docs.autodesk.com/MBXPRO/2018/ENU/#!/url=./files/GUID-4875124C-E33E-4DFC-A1BF-B0092BBA2F17.ht...

What's new in Mudbox 2018.1 update.

Now I may be jumping the gun here as the update does not seem to be available yet in my subscription and may have further revisions added before release, ( if so apologies ) but from the list of fixes/improvements shown, they all seem to be slight tweaks to performance in various area's, rather than any actual new features. 

Phrases like "more accurate", "now faster", "more stable", are used, and I don't know why, but I have the feeling that these "tweaks" will be "barely noticeable", "if at all...

For me its now been over 3 years of subscriptions payments since there has been any new development in Mudbox ( op's I must apologise, there was a security patch! ), Zero new features, promises, edited promises, and excuses, and the mess of Autodesk downsizing and reshuffling development teams, while standalone Mudbox users get the back of the queue treatment, waiting while Maya users get Mudbox for free while we keep paying subscription and getting nothing back. Promises last year that now Mudbox and Maya have been fused together ( because their now the same Dev team ) that development will continue for standalone Mudbox, PROMISE BROKEN!, promises this year on various CG forums from ADSK employees that Mudbox will have exciting new features coming in updates this year... and this is it really? Some probably unnoticeable tweaks, and a red optimisation warning exclamation mark! Just like the new features highlight in Mudbox 2017 when there actually were no new features, which is just taking the proverbial P!

Come on Autodesk! Not impressed!

Has there actually been any new development in Mudbox Autodesk? Really? Really really? Be honest mow 🙂

Or is this it now, that Mudbox subscribers are to be satisfied with approx. 5 hours of coding per year in development?

Maybe this is just stage one, but after all the waiting, this is really a wet Lettice!

You are not alone here !

And I do not oblige you to anything ....
But others can go or to see elsewhere ... and compare !  NO ?


It's not just ZBrush...( you know ), but Sculptis ( free ) it's an other exemple >  http://pixologic.com/sculptris/


You know "Mari"  ?

[sergimen2001]

Nobody oblige to nothing here.

I know Mari.

And I think that you have a total lack of respect. My humble opinion.

Really, I'm not going to publish artworks mine, made in Mud, to Zbrush groups.

The things that you tell us about Zbrush ... Anybody knows them and can know them 24 hours a day in the rest of the internet.

Each thing in its place.

So...you are the first to say i"i go out" ! (Go, use Zbrush an company and be Happy 😉 )

While it's interesting to always watch the competitors ...
And ask yourself the right questions:

Why so late?

Sell perfectible products with different functions?
Mari and substance painter are born after Mudbox ....

But today, they do better!

Same for my ZBrush example ( but i understand you don't like...)

Autodesk should be wondering why its users are going elsewhere !

And why i put the pavement here !

OK the planet AUTODESK is wonderful!
All is well ... there is no competition WE ARE THE BEST !

A speech for actionnariat ot for end users ?

If MUDBOX wants to live he must do better....So look elsewhere is not a shame, but a necessity...so i think !

[sergimen2001]

I'm mot part of the Autodesk Company to ask you why so late.

But I can ask you:

What do you prefer? Late? Or never?
