Why I use MudBox over Zbrush or Blender.

I’m definitely in the minority on this one. To be fair I started using Mud Box years ago, before the Autodesk acquisition. I prefer to use the tool that comes naturally to me. Why fight with a piece of software that just goes against what seems natural to you. I prefer to make progress and enjoy the creative process. I’m not going to get on here and fan boy about Mud Box being better than Zbrush or Blender Sculpting because it’s not. Both Zbrush and Blender get regular updates. Mud Box is clearly the unloved child. Autodesk can’t be bothered with it. They’re one step away from walking out on their adopted child.

So why do I keep using it. For now it gets the job done and I still like using it. I can quickly get my ideas done with Mud Box. Plus Autodesk haven’t killed it yet. I’ve got eight months left on my current subscription, when its up I’ll make the switch probably to Blender you can’t beat free. There’s some truly amazing artist that still use Mud Box to a level far beyond me. I doubt their employer / client cares when they see the end result.

All that matters for me is to enjoy the creative process. How you come to the result doesn’t matter to the person who receives it. Choose the right tools for you and enjoy the process.
