Well its out........and ,a new Wax brush , and FBX...wooohooooo:confused:

Just a few things to make life simpler but from what I see, nothing really knocks my socks off.

Guess I'll have to pay for the upgrade though :(

Wayne suggested that things may come in the server packs as it did with 2009 so probably just a waiting game... a few friends have stability issues with 2009 so if 2010 has that then think it will find favour quickly.

I have been running Mbx on a Mac and I have never had stability issues, so it may not be a wide-spread programming error, but then again, I am not tech-support.

The interface for 2010 looks the same, so that will be nice. I am looking forward to seeing what exactly is different about the "new wax brush" that Wayne mentioned and any other upgrades.

I think we will soon see Mbx become one of the premiere sculpting tools available for 3d artists. We're part of the revolution!

On the side, does anyone else find it difficult to type "sculpting" correctly? I have to fix it almost every time!

Well i think the new plug-ins will be great.! the more stuff we can get in mudbox to beat Zbrush the better.. now i just need to buy After Effects lol.. Great job wayne! looking forward to more kool plug-ins and vids for 2010!

and No... i barely ever spell "sculpting" right lol

I was just checking out the preview of new features for 2010 on youtube and the Dry Brush looks like a life-saver. I have been hoping for such a feature for painting in this release. The Photoshop bridge also ought to make post-sculpt detailing a cinch.

If only the 3D mags would pick up on Mbx more... I move for more Wayne interviews and tutorials in 3DCreative and feature articles in 3D World.
