Mudbox is a proprietary computer-based 3D sculpting and painting tool. Currently developed by Autodesk, Mudbox was created by Skymatter, founded by Tibor Madjar, David Cardwell and Andrew Camenisch, former artists of Weta Digital, where it was first used to produce the 2005 Peter Jackson remake of King Kong . Mudbox’s primary application is high-resolution digital sculpting, texture painting, and displacement and normal map creation, although it is also used as a design tool.
