Trays

Trays organize collections of tools (for example, sculpt and paint tool presets, falloff presets, stamps, stencils, and material and lighting presets). Items can be added, removed, reordered, or renamed using the tray’s window menu ( ). Items on a tray can be reordered by dragging an item using the middle button.

TipQuickly select items in Mudbox trays using the number keys on your keyboard. Pressing keys 1 through 9 selects the corresponding tool position in the active tool tray. Middle-drag your frequently used tools to the first nine positions on a tray.

- (Mac OS X) /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Mudbox 2011.5/Trays
- (Linux) /home/<username>/Mudbox/2011.5/data/Trays

Each line of the text file is organized using the convention: object/tool type;name;icon;label.
