Increases the resolution of the model by subdividing each polygonal face into four smaller faces. As a result, the number of faces quadruples each time you subdivide. See Mesh resolution and subdivision levels and Add a subdivision level.
To set subdivision options before subdividing, select Add New Subdivision Level Options (below) instead.
Opens the Subdivision Options.
For use on imported, high resolution meshes that were Catmull-Clark subdivided in other applications. Recreates lower subdivision levels for the active mesh. See also Rebuild subdivision levels for an imported mesh.
Opens the Reduce Mesh options, letting you specify how you want to reduce the size of the active or selected meshes. See also Reduce a mesh.
Select New Operation to start a new retopology operation, or select a previously saved operation. See also Retopologize a mesh.
Opens the Create Mesh From Curves window, letting you set the options you want as you create a new mesh based on 3D curves. See also Create a mesh from curves.
Copies selected faces to create a new mesh. See Duplicate faces as new mesh.
When creating the new mesh, Mudbox bakes any sculpt layers at the current subdivision level from the source mesh, so the resulting mesh retains the resolution and surface features of the selected faces, but it has no subdivision levels or sculpt layers. Any paint layers or per-vertex information from the selected faces are copied to the new mesh.
In the Object List, the resulting mesh is named after the original mesh, plus the suffix '_extracted'.
Flips the entire mesh around the specified axis, including all subdivision levels and any sculpt layers.
Select from the following sub-options depending on how you want the flipped mesh to be positioned:
Flipping the mesh from Z-Up to Y-Up or Y-Up to Z-Up makes it easier to work with meshes authored in other applications that use a default scene orientation different from Mudbox. For example, you can import a model, flip it to Y-Up while you work with it in Mudbox, then flip it back to Z-Up when ready to export.
See also Flip a model.
Pulls selected faces tight on the surface, like a drum. This operation makes the selected region as flat as possible between border edges and ignores the surrounding faces.
Use Tighten Selection with Patch (see Patch holes in a mesh), or as a sculpting tool. See also Smooth selected regions of a mesh.
Smooths the transition between selected faces and the surrounding faces, blending the selected region with the surrounding area.
Fair Selection is designed for use with Mesh > Patch. See Patch holes in a mesh and Smooth selected regions of a mesh.
Transfers high frequency sculpting detail, joint weighting, and sculpt layers from a high resolution mesh (the source) to a mesh with different topology (the target). See Transfer sculpt detail.
