New in Mudbox 2019.1: automatic UI scaling on high-resolution monitors.

Users have the ability to enforce topologically symmetrical results, organize sculpt and paint layers into layer groups in complex scenes, and create models based on a polygon mesh which can be manipulated.

New in Mudbox 2019.1: automatic UI scaling on high-resolution monitors
Compared to the previous couple of releases – particularly Mudbox 2018.2, which added a new dynamic tessellation system – the changelog for the 2019.1 update is fairly small.

The release notes list a single new feature: automatic rescaling of the user interface when working on high-resolution monitors.

  • My last personal project. You can see the timelapse sculpt video in my Youtube Channel: -Modeling and Sculpting: Mudbox 2019.1 -Painting and textures: Mudbox 2019.1 and Substance Painter.UV Mapping: 3DSMAX 2019.Renders: Marmoset Toolbag 3.
  • Mudbox 2019.1 – the latest offering from long-time Escape partner Autodesk. This fact alone immediately scores Mudbox a point under the umbrella of service, wherein users can expect a seamless flow between other software packs from the Autodesk roster. Autodesk really seems to have nailed the workfl.

Autodesk reworked the UI for 4K monitors in Mudbox 2019, but adjusting interface scale previously required a user to make manual changes in the Mudbox Setup window and User Interface Preferences.

Other than that, there is a mid-sized list of bugfixes – 45, if we’ve counted correctly.

In separate news, several posts on the AREA report that Autodesk has recently shut the forum for the closed beta of the software. We’ll update if we find out more about that.

Updated 2 July 2019: It took rather longer than normal, but Autodesk has now sent us a response.
