Another famed legacy piece of 3D modelling software is bowing out. Autodesk has announced that it's discontinuing Mudbox, the digital sculpting software originally created for Wētā FX (then Wētā Digital) during the production of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
For 20 years, Mudbox has been used for concept art, game development, visual effects and motion graphics, although a lack of updates in recent years saw its importance fade. That's led to some raised eyebrows over Autodesk's reason for finally killing off the program.
