First up; Big thanks to Wayne on this HUB; I think an independent forum hub is very healthy, it prevents the common problem of the owners of the product editing out constructive criticism of its product.
Myself and Peter Minister recently completed 94 prehistoric animals, and to complete the collection DK commissioned good ol T-Rex. After re-working the model of it's close relative Tarbosaurus in Z-Brush ( similar body - different head ) , I had a twirl with painting it in mud 2009. This program just sings to me and 2010 has a song that is even more sweet.
I still used photoshop quite a bit in the texturing but I think 2010 will keep me more and more within mudbox and the clone tool means I no longer need to clean up seams in BodyPaint. Dry brush was missed so it is good to see it in. We are still waiting for multiply and overlay in layers but I have little doubt they are in the pipe line, and layers and the close photoshop integration is swell; personally I was really hoping you could have all your layers in photoshop and mud and bounce between the two but that too seems like a natural development that will come to a cinema near you.
