Send Objects to Mudbox

 

You can now send objects from Maya to Mudbox using the Send To options from the File menu. Once you have modified an object in Mudbox, you can then send it back to Maya.

The one-click functionality allows you to send various forms of data, including meshes and UVs on meshes, to Mudbox. This data can be sent as a new scene or as an update to an existing scene.

The Send to options for Maya is a feature of the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites.
