Autodesk has announced that its Mudbox 2015 digital painting and 3D sculpting software is now available as a Desktop Subscription license for US$10 a month.

Mudbox helps artists customize high-quality 3D models for use in mobile and indie games and other 3D projects. The tool integrates into existing creative workflows.

For example, an artist can easily sculpt and texture 3D characters, creatures and objects in Mudbox, import them into Autodesk Maya LT 2015 (a 3D animation tool tailored for indie gamer makers) for additional customization, and then export the assets to Unity or other compatible game engines to complete the project.
