AuToDesk MUDBOX 2019 stands as a beacon in the realm of 3D digital painting and sculpting, offering artists a comprehensive suite of intuitive and tactile tools. This cutting-edge software empowers 3D artists to craft highly detAIled 3D geometry and textures for characters and environments, thanks to advanced topology tools that generate clean, production-quality meshes from scanned, imported, or sculpted data.

The latest iteration of Mudbox introduces improved dynamic tessellation, as well as new features like Merge Meshes, Independent Selection, and Volume Preservation. Users will notice a redesign of icons, expanded tooltip functionality, updated hotkeys, and enhanced support for high-resolution displays, along with the fixing of several significant bugs.

Among the notable updates, the 'Preserve Volume' option is now part of the 'Smooth' tool under 'Advanced' properties, preventing excessive reduction in mesh volume during smoothing operations. Dynamic tessellation now supports UVs, selection sets, joint weights, and falloff types, ensuring that these elements are retained when creating new triangle mesh copies.

Other highlights include the ability to merge multiple meshes into a single object, a new 'Stamp Offset' property for fine-tuning stamp indentation depths, a 'Remove UVs' feature to reduce UV count directly within Mudbox, and updated hotkeys for smoothing curves. Additionally, Mudbox 2019 offers improved tool tips, gamma-corrected blending for more accurate color mixing, and better support for 4K displays with interface scaling options.

With these enhancements, Mudbox 2019 continues to be an indispensable tool for 3D artists seeking to push the boundaries of their creative work.
