    Hey.

    Take a look at this:
    http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/mudbox/mudwalker-relight/intro.html

    I found this while looking for MudBox tutorials.
    This is some seriously pipeline optimizer!!!

    For object transfer between Maya and Max go to the middle and enjoy.

    Here is Waynes own words:

    MudWalker is a 1 click solution to send your models , texture files , shader setups etc or even combinations of these along pipelines that use the supported apps. Coming in version 1.5 is the ability for user to use non default installation paths, add up to 3 of their own apps, export the active texture layer straight to photoshop and extended suported for new apps (such as Cinema 4D). Its a very addictive tool to use as it speeds up pipelines in a way you woudn't belive until you try it. No more messing around with shader reconnecting etc...no more scale issues. It just works... and in a single click.

    I've been trying to get it compiled for the mac for a while, but as I dont own one (and Ive been paranoid about passing teh source to just anyone) its remained PC only. Mainly as I was let down by the person who was supposed to be compiling it for the mac. But if I come across someone trustworthy who knows there way around mac coding I'll be sure to port it over. There's plenty more in store for MudWalker for version 2 and beyond....its far from what its intended to be once its complete. ;)
