Use Mudbox and Photoshop together

You can work concurrently on the same texture map using Mudbox and Adobe® Photoshop® . This lets you use the wider range of image editing features in Photoshop and the 3D painting power of Mudbox.

1. Launch Photoshop and Mudbox.
2. Open the texture image you want to edit in both applications (Photoshop and Mudbox).
3. To import any Mudbox-based edits made to the texture image into Photoshop, do the following:
   - Save the scene file within Mudbox so the texture image file gets saved to disk.
   - Refresh the texture image in Photoshop by re-opening it using File > Open Recent.
   - Edit the image in Photoshop and save the image.
4. To import any Photoshop-based edits made on an image into Mudbox, do the following:
   - Save the texture image file in Photoshop.
   - Refresh the texture image in Mudbox by selecting the corresponding paint layer within Mudbox and selecting Refresh Selected from the paint layer menu.

NoteThe steps described above can be adapted for workflows between other image editing applications and Mudbox. The Refresh Selected feature updates the image in Mudbox with the most recent version saved on disk.
