Digital-Tutors: Creating Game Weapons in 3ds Max and Mudbox

In this course we will use Mudbox and 3ds Max to build and detail a bladed weapon. While 3ds Max is great at creating

models very quickly and efficiently, Mudbox excels at interactively sculpting complex detail. By using these two

packages in conjunction, we can leverage their respective strengths to quickly create a cohesive digital asset. After

building our base geometry of our sample project, a bladed weapon, and adding UVs in 3ds Max, we'll take the geometry

into Mudbox to begin sculpting. We'll add a variety of detail, as well as using Channel painting to create textures for

the color and specularity of the models. We'll also output normal maps and ambient occlusion maps. Finally, we'll put

everything back together in 3ds Max. Upon completion, you be able to create your own weapons or props using these two

powerful programs.
