Join Adam Crespi for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the sculpt tools, part of Maya: Game Prop Creation.
In this video I'll explore the Sculpting Tools in little more detail in Mudbox.…I've done some more modeling on my barrier here in Maya. I realized in the…previous videos when I was taking it across that I wasn't quite happy with the corners initially.…And that's simply taking the precise corners and trying to show them in wasn't…giving me the result I wanted.…It's okay to try a few things and see how it looks when it comes across.…What I decided to do is introduce some more edge loops here in Maya and gently…crunch some of the corners first.…
I've used the preserve UVs check box in the Move tool and preserve the UVs while…I'm adding in these new edge loops.…Now that I've got my barrier crunched to deformed,…I'm going to bring it over to Mudbox and look at the sculpting.…We're going to see this kind of iteration in workflow where there's some…experimentation in a few trials quickly to see if we're getting the right result…before we get into detail, so don't be afraid to try things a couple of times.…I'll choose File > Export.…
