Introduction to Mudbox 2012

The tutorial gives you the basic smoothed mesh and it is your job to use the tools of Mudbox to give the dragonfly detail.  I am almost through the course.  I have still have been having troubles with Mudbox crashing and sometimes I am not able to get things exactly the way the instructor wants.  Here is what I have so far.

I cut into the soft mesh to make the dragonfly look like it had it's insect shell,  I also used the sculpt tool to add detail to the mesh,

added some spiky hairs to the body,

added lighting to the scene,

painted a base color,

and then I painted a second layer of color.

This next part took a long time.  I probably spent about 8 hours just working on the last few videos.  I had to get on 3 different computers and Mudbox kept crashing over and over again.  I also lost some of my data and had to redo parts because files got corrupted.

I was finally able to finish to the best of my abilities and create this:

In the end I wasn't able to put the hexagonal pattern over the eyes because the Window's side didn't have Photoshop and then when I switched to the Mac side to try and put the pattern on it wouldn't let me export it to Photoshop.  I'm glad I am finished, but maybe I can get someone to help me find a way to put the pattern on the eyes.
