Hi robinball
Thanks for your info. Well bit late to learn mudbox isn't a stand along software. I don't recall reading any paper work or anything on the web that informed me of this. I gess they wouldn' hamper a sale of soft ware by saying this has to be bought with this. Or is it just that I didn't do my homework well enough .
I had looked at setting up some graphic software to do all the model pieces as well, but expected i would have to spend 4 to 5 thousand to get good software that I have seen , Mudbox was impressive , a good lot cheaper and I thought it could give one an edge to create figures in 3D and have them 3D printed efficently and then cast. the other thing is learning how to use it ??? I gess now, that even that would of had its own set of set up and file problems too.
Thanks for the tip on the Blender download might look in to this.
