Version 1.4.0

Release Date:  10/16/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows, Mac

​

New Features

This release introduced the following new features:

​

Curve Sweep

The Curve Sweep tool extrudes a procedurally generated tube (“sweep mesh”) along a Mudbox 3D mesh curve. The sweep mesh is constructed of all quad geometry, for better subdivision. As well, the curve used can be open or closed. When the curve is open, the sweep mesh will contain flat end caps with a specified number of divisions. When the curve is closed, the sweep mesh will be fully connected. The resulting sweep mesh is independent of the curve and its source mesh (i.e., it is its own mesh). The Curve Sweep parameters include the following:

• Radius – The radius of the tube.

• # of Sides – Even number of tube sides, with a minimum of 4 sides.

• Cap Divisions – The number of flat end cap divisions.

• Surface Offset – The distance offset of the tube from the curve’s source mesh. Offset can be either inward or outward.

• Rotation Offset – Additional rotation to position the tube as needed.

Version 1.3.0

Release Date:  10/12/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows, Mac

​

New Features

This release introduced the following new features:

​

DynaCut Mirroring and Splits

Added new features to the DynaCut tool. It now supports mirroring cuts in the X, Y and XY dimensions. As well, when the Split Only option is selected, the cut portions of the mesh are retained as a separate mesh.

​

Version 1.2.0

Release Date:  10/1/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows, Mac

​

New Features

This release introduced the following new features:

​

DynaCut

Using features from DynaSkin and DynaBool, this tool cuts out portions of your selected mesh, based on a Mudbox view curve. Your creativity is the limit with this tool. Just draw and shape a Mudbox view curve to your liking, then cut. It's that simple. As with the DynaBool tool, you can use DynaCut to quickly create incredibly complex geometry that would otherwise be difficult or time-consuming to sculpt.

​

Version 1.1.1

Release Date:  7/11/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows, Mac (available 7/29/2023)

​

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug, introduced in Version 1.1.0, that caused significant delays when using DynaSkin and DynaBool on dense triangular meshes.

​

​

Version 1.1.0

Release Date:  7/2/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows

​

New Features

This release introduced the following new features:

​

Mesh Extract

This tool creates a new mesh from the selected faces of one, or more, other meshes. It enables you to generate complex shapes that conform to the contours of other meshes. For example, it can be used to create clothing for a character.

​

Improvements

• Modified the user interface to better accommodate the growing toolset.

​

Version 1.0.0

 Release Date:  5/1/2023

Operating Systems:  Windows

Initial Release

This inaugural release of MudKit introduced the following features:

​

DynaSkin

This tool quickly and dynamically regenerates a workable topology over the surface of your selected mesh. It is particularly useful in the early stages of a sculpt, when you are shaping and refining a low to mid-resolution base mesh. As an example, DynaSkin would be useful in shaping a sphere into a full human character base mesh.

​

DynaBool

Using the DynaSkin feature, DynaBool provides a set of boolean operations that can increase your creative flexibility.  Using relatively simple objects, you can quickly create complex geometry that would otherwise be difficult or time-consuming to sculpt. The boolean operations DynaBool offers are as follows:

• Difference – Subtracts one mesh from the other, resulting in a single DynaSkin mesh.

• Intersection – Creates a single DynaSkin mesh from the area common to two meshes.

• Union – Combines two meshes into a single DynaSkin mesh.

​

Object Align

The Object Align toolset enables you to quickly align multiple selected objects to either a target object or the origin in X, Y, Z and XYZ space.
