Mudbox 2009: 'From The Ground Up'
Free video training for Mudbox 2009 in its entirety

This series is broken up in 'Waves' which each increasing in complexity as we progress. Its aim is by the end to completely cover mudbox 2009 and its associated workflows in its entirety. It is my aim to provide a free complete training solution for mudbox 2009 so as such they are all made available at high res and recorded to a very high quality control (even though they are free, I am treating them as I do paid DVD's and tutorials). Due to the massive ammount of video I'm makig available for free the release of each section is staggered so as to help with bandwidtth issues (even though Autodesk are hosting these, even their server could go down with the massive load these vieos are getting.) I am recording this series with no payment as my gift to the 3d community.

The 'From the Ground Up' series is designed to work alongside the 'QuickStart' series available on this site, The Area and CGArena.

In Wave 2 we cover the sculpting of a complete character from the ground up. Using a final polygon count that any user should be able to reach without breaking a sweat, nothing is speeded up and everything is explained in detail. It is assumed the user has watched 'Wave 1' as these texchniques will not be explained in this section. This character will thenbe fuly textured inwave 3 and used in to demonmstrate new features as they are added.
