#mudbox — Public Fediverse posts

I learned today that Autodesk is finally discontinuing the digital sculpting software Mudbox in November.

It makes me a little sad, because working on Mudbox as UX architect was one of my best professional experiences. We had a really diverse and welcoming team of experienced developers and designers, a mature process, and close regular contact with our community of users. (I have a funny story I'll share sometime about a Mudbox-related business meeting I had at ILM).

Ironically, Autodesk massively scaled back investment in Mudbox the same year that Mudbox won a SciTech Academy Award. Since then there was one more release with some fantastic innovation around infinitely expandable meshes, then it was put on life support and the team was disbanded and moved to other projects.

I'm sad to see it go, but I've also been secretly pleased reading all the comments from people saying how much better its UI is than all of its more successful competitors.

AR|X Project Update.09 - Version Beta

Another step of my "AR|X project" and I am delighted that the whole thing is taking shape. Of course, there is still a lot to do, but I can see a tiny light at the end of the tunnel in the distance.

I have now moved on to modeling the first of a total of three rooms. But there are still a lot of parts to be modeled. The good thing about this project is that I have to use almost all the modeling techniques, which in turn means that I'm learning a lot. 😊

I'm still alive... and there's an update on the AR|X project. But one thing I can tell you guys, I already mentioned that I'm not exactly the sculptor in front of the Lord and so it may look to you like not much has happened here but actually I had medium sized problems with my female character of which I had to create two versions. The rigging and positioning was comparatively easy.

Another step in the project, but I still need to adjust the plastic film a little better.

**AR|X Update 03**

Basically nothing special yet, but for me it is, as I'm not exactly a master sculptor. But after three attempts, I'm happy with it for the time being. There are still mechanical parts to be added, but I'm modeling them step by step.
