BUG NUMBER |
DESCRIPTION |
MDBX-4654 |
Mudbox may detect incorrect GPU
memory space on Intel® HD Graphics. Workaround: If
you experience painting performance issues, set the GPU memory to 512MB
or 1024MB using the MUDBOX_FORCE_GPU_RAM environment variable. |
MDBX-4652 |
Paint layer with 8k
resolution is not supported if you are using Intel® HD Graphics. |
MDBX-4452 |
Creating a joint with Topology Weights doesn't work properly with non-4-sided meshes. |
MDBX-4455 |
When using a non US-English standard keyboard, some of the hotkeys may not work. Workaround: Set
your IME to "English - United States" while using Mudbox. For more
information see your operating system documentation. |
MDBX-4453 |
If the level of the source model is not the current level when extracting a map, the detail of lower sculpt layers will be missing. Workaround: Ensure
you display the required subdivision level before extracting the map,
or select the current level in the Extract Texture Maps window to get
the correct result. |
MDBX-4454 |
Transfer
paint layer works incorrectly if target and source have
overlapping UVs. |
MDBX-4456 |
When painting or
sculpting with symmetry ON, sometimes the result will not appear on the
opposite side. Verify that you have "Falloff based on Facing Angle"
turned off. |
MDBX-260 |
The Transfer Details
function works best on objects that are the same size, or larger than
the default Mudbox meshes. If the transfer produces artifacts on the
target mesh, try scaling up the source and target meshes to the same
size as the default head mesh. |
MDBX-292 |
When using the option
“Send to 3ds Max…” changing the units between Max and Mudbox may cause
unpredictable results. |
MDBX-371 |
When the amount of texture data exceeds the available GPU on your machine, the effects brushes draw red temporarily if "Solo as Diffuse" is ON for a paint layer. Workaround: Once
the stroke is done, the brush correctly applies the effect and the
result is
correct. You can turn off the Gigatexel Engine in the Render
preferences (which
effectively disables the paint buffer) and the effects brushes will
work
correctly. |
MDBX-1203 |
If a portion of a
curve on a mesh is obscured (for instance, if a portion of the curve is
on the back side of an object) and you use Stroke on Curve" with mirror
ON, results may be incorrect. |
MDBX-1400 |
When creating 16 bit
integer tiff layers in Mudbox, Mudbox processes and stores them as
floating point pixels. To save 16 bit integer tiffs, export the paint
layer as such. |
MDBX-1556 |
On Mac OS X the installer may hang
at end of a successful installation. It is recommended to force quit
the installer. Mudbox will then run normally. |
MDBX-1614 |
On Linux, Mudbox crashes when starting up with an error message such as "mudbox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8: undefined symbol: X509_VERIFY_PARAM_new". Workaround: 2. Point the old symbol link
to the 1.0.0 version, like "ln -s -f /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0b
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8" |
MDBX-1616 |
An environment variable
MUDBOX_EXPOSE_8K exposes "8192" in the Create New Paint Layer "Size"
option. (It will not be exposed if less than 512 MB GPU available. 1.5
GB or more recommended). |
MDBX-3990 |
Painting 8k (8192x8192)
resolution textures can be unstable with some NVIDIA graphic cards with
lower graphics memory. |
MDBX-4016 |
On Mac, the LTU.app (License
Transfer Utility) does not launch. Workaround:
Run command line
script /Applications/Autodesk/Adlm/R7/LTU.app/Contents/MacOS/LTU
<productkey> 2014.0.0.F -d "SA" -l
"<language>" |
MDBX-4175 |
There may be vertices displacement
artifacts around the center line at the Retopology result, when
Sculpted Details is enabled at Transfer to new mesh, Based on Axis is
on for Symmetry, From one side of source is selected at Transfer
Sculpting/Painting. This artifacts is likely happens on triangle mesh
and triangles will be dragged to across the center line if mesh is
subdivided. Workaround:
Use the smooth sculpt brush to smooth these artifacts out manually. |
MDBX-4274 |
Wacom driver 6.3.5-3 will cause
Multi-Touch to stop working. |
MDBX-4400 |
On
Mac OS X, when "Export Channel to PSD" with multi-tile UVs mesh, and
these PSD files already opened by Adobe Photoshop, they may not get
updated correctly in Photoshop. Please check "Auto-Update Open
Documents" preference in Photoshop. |
MDBX-4718 |
Deleting faces after PTEX setup may result in a corrupt .ptx file when exporting channel to .ptx or extract texture maps using Ptex map type. Workaround: Re-setup
model for PTEX |

Customer
Error Reports (CERs)
We
are able to
improve the stability of Mudbox largely
because of the Customer Error Reports (CERs) that users of our products
submit.
We thank you for taking the time to fill out these reports and ask that
you
include as much information as possible about what actions you were
performing
at the time the error occurred. These details raise the value of the
report
immensely and are very much appreciated by the Autodesk Mudbox
Engineering
team.
