Asset Pipeline in Maya and Mudbox

This series of Maya/Mudbox tutorials will discuss how to work on assets using multiple applications, in this case Maya/Mudbox and Photoshop. To create the base geometry for a Thor-inspired hammer, we'll use Maya's powerful modeling tools. Then, we'll create a basic UV layout. We will then create a texture map which can be used to quickly add sculpted detail. After we have our Mudbox geometry setup, we will explore ways to add carved detail with sculpt layers. As the project progresses, we'll paint texture maps and learn how to add new geometry. After we are done, we will bake normal maps and merge them with existing bump maps. We'll then transfer the project from Mudbox back to Maya. This Maya and Mudbox training is going quickly. If you are interested in further training in any of these applications, I recommend that you start with the introductions and then move on. Software required: Maya 2015, Mudbox 2015, Photoshop.
