Mudbox Rock Tutorial

[artist_in_a_box]

Yo guys. I'm thinking about writing a tutorial for the articles section, thought I would ask to see if there was any need for it first. I've struggled finding decent rock tutorials for Mudbox and figured I could write one if people wanted it. I am making rock now for my project so i figured it would be good to post this now so I could record it when i start the new piece.

This is the rock I have made


And I am in the process of making a few more pieces to break it up some more then texture it procedurally in UDK.

The tut will start in 3DSMax and go through the whole modelling and baking process.

What do you think, do I get greenlight for this?

Also before you answer know that I am no pro at sculpting so this is mainly about the process and basic concepts for hard edge stone. This is one of my first sculpts, i just figured seeing as there is a serious lack of tuts out there for mudbox for this stuff it may be of some use to some people.

So yea after the overwhelming interest I went ahead and did this anyway, partly for portfolio purposes, partly to help others learn and mainly because I wanted to giver something back to the community. I am working on the written guide for it as between my cockatiel and my thick yorkshire accent I decided not to record audio. The guide will be up as soon as I can but my partner is ill at the moment so I'm looking after her.

The final product is about %90 done as I need to properly texture it but the tut covers making it from concept to UDK in under 2 hours real time. As the process here isnt really complex I decided in depth wasnt necessary so instead it will comprise as a small set of guide with tips and advice for each part.
