Pixar did a special guest technology presentation at Siggraph showing off their PTEX technology working inside Autodesk Mudbox. Amazing technology that everyone is scrambling for.

  • Hey, Autodesk. Look at this. Please make this a built-in part of your software. I mean why not> You're a great software company and you obviously have the rights to knowing how to the process works, and you're all about making it easier for the end user to express their art. It would be so much easier if rendering was this much faster!

  • Which is which in your analogy? Both have made huge strides in recent releases and it really depends on your workflow which one is the best solution.

  • ptex on a freedee mesh that has free hundred fousand faces.

  • Modo need this.

    Come on Luxology!!!!

  • Soooo much love for ptex

    

  • @Supuhstar they did it in 2012 :D version :D

  • @jakobweiq 3D-Coat was the first software outside of Pixar to incorporate PTex.

  • @benyaboy never heard of it...but if it had Ptex since 2004 that is pretty impressive

  • Nice demo. I'm gonna let you finish, but I have to say that Cyslice from Headus is the best software of all time. They had a very similar feature since 2004. Ambient occlusion and 3d vector displacement baking. Check it out.

  • @d1353lp0w3r I agree that it was like that at first, but these days I much prefer the layer setup in Mudbox, as well as the native Ptex support and vector stencils (especially for ears). They each have their strengths and weaknesses and I think it's foolish to discount Mudbox as a viable option these days, especially in any kind of Autodesk pipeline.
