The application allows artists to create symmetrical pairs of joint for their models and to weight the joints. Posing joints can be used for internal or surface placement. These features are designed to help artists and developers pose their models quickly and efficiently.
Artists can also model the model while the models are posing in different poses, and these changes are then saved and transferred to the new pose or other pose. This feature is especially useful in hard-to-reach places and for testing the model in different poses.
ZBrush features. ZBrush is essentially more for the artist than for the programmer or developer. It allows artists to create illustrations directly with tools like the PaintStop tool. The tool includes a variety of tools such as pencils, inks, colors and markers to give the artist the opportunity to use his preferred medium.
Images can also be loaded into the image layer for further development or as reference models for further modeling. The application uses a tool called ZSpheres to create basic meshes for its models. With ZSpheres, the artist can quickly and easily create and develop a flexible fitting for the model. This tool can also be used to easily make adjustments and modifications to the basic meshes. After the model is created with the ZSphere tool, ZBrush offers a variety of Sketch Sphere Brush tools that allow artists to buid the basic mesh with brush strokes.
Masking brushes can be used to paint a mask over specific areas to prevent those areas from being altered by the Sculpting brushes. Rigging the Sketch Spheres allows artists to pose and manipulate their models for the animation process. Transpose Master allows artists to reduce the entire model to one object to allow for posing and positioning of the model, with poses containing all objects contained in the model.
The Dynamesh tools allow artists to inflate or modify their models with a different set of specific brushes. These brushes facilitate model modification.
Dynamesh immediately allows the retopology of models. ZBrush offers a unique tool called Polygroups. Dynamesh — Dynamesh allows you to sculpt without having to worry about the topology. It does it with much more precision and detail than zBrush. It allows you to paint in layers similar to what we are use to in Photoshop.
Ease of Use — Mudbox is known to be really easy to pick up. It has a similar look to Maya and 3ds Max so especially for us students at MICA who are use to 3ds Max, it might be a less stressful place to start. Be sure to take your time out to try both these programs and experiment. As students, we have access to a lot of tools that we sometimes take for granted. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Let us dive into comparing the features between both of them. The primary object to create any 3Dimensional model is the mesh. You can create models from Planes, Spheres, Cubes and a wide variety of mesh objects that are readily available in the software or things you can create on your own. The more number of mesh creation options you have, the more ease you will enjoy working on the software.
In Sculpting software packs, it is not necessary that you need to start working on your models from scratch. You can choose to import your 3D models from other software like Maya and 3DS Max and start sculpting them. In this part, you can learn about the options and flexibility Z Brush and Mudbox provides you while creating and importing Mesh models.
When it comes to creating a mesh, artists enjoy working on Z Brush for numerous varieties of objects it offers to work. You can work on every object to create your mesh in Z Brush. The most famous part is the ZSphere, which helps you build up the character model from nothing to everything.
You can start from scratch and build the model completely in Z Brush without using any other 3D software. ShadowBox uses a masking technique to create complex, hard surface models by intersecting two or more masks.
Dynamesh is a feature which adds flexibility to cut the parts of your mesh and attach them quickly as you needed. The power of Mudbox is definitely not in creating Meshes when compared to Z Brush. The number of objects you have to work on Meshes is very limited, and people who use Mudbox usually work on the models they created in other software applications.
It gives a possibility to understand that Mudbox has better control in importing and exporting 3D models with other software of the 3D platform. In addition to that, Mudbox has a repotopolize option, which allows the artist to create base shapes from the sculpted forms.
Sculpting is incomplete without a nice set of brushes. For gaining more control over sculpting and defining the details on your 3D model, software should allow you to create and access unlimited control over the brushes. The more you can tweak a brush, the more detail you can obtain in your model. Z Brush has a vast number of readily available custom brushes, and you can access more of them through the Lightbox browser.
Brushes are so powerful in Z Brush that you can create material build up on the surface of your character with the help of ClayBuildup brushes, and you may pull out the overall shape of an object from the model by using Move.
Creating edges and creases are made easy with DamStandard brushes. It makes us understand about the comprehensive set of brushes Z Brush offers to the artists. Apart from the number of Brushes you have in the library, the control you gain over the brushes is incredible. There are numerous options to modify the parameters of brushes.
The stroke types and the flexibility to change the strokes in curve forms take Z Brush to the top in controlling the brush settings. If you are trying to work on 2. Still, it is a smoother workflow to enjoy painting the sculpting. Mudbox has many commonalities when it comes to the most common brushes used to sculpt a model.
Use the grab brush to move the objects and wax brush to build up material on your models. However, the parameters used to control the brush are limited in Mudbox when compared to Z Brush.
But the good part is that Autodesk focused more on the brushes, which will come to use most often in sculpting. Workflow with the most common tools and brushes you use can be more free and comfortable in Mudbox.
You can create creases and undercuts with these maps within no time. So far, more points are scored by Z Brush. But it is not yet over. There are certain parts where Mudbox can come back really powerful.
