What's the consensus with Mudbox vs Zbrush? Which is considered better?

tough question souri, but generally, mudbox 1.07 has a cleaner interface and is a lot easier to learn, you can get into sculpting right away with no fuss.
Zbrush3 has an overwhelming interface and when I started I found the workflow confusing, but it has many more features than mudbox and has better performance(You can get way more detail into your models), you can also paint textures, pose and render your models. I believe ZBrush is also cheaper. Zbrush also has many more sculpting tools than Mudbox.

So ZBrush3 is better in features and performance while Mudbox has a better workflow, IMO.

zbrush is a 'greater' 'more encompassing' package.... heaps of very innovative and cool features.

you really have to take the time to kinda play with them all to understand how powerful it is..

mudbox is kinda awesome as an instant sculpt package..

if i had to choose one i would definitely choose zbrush, as an all in one 3d application to compliment your major 3d package and of course photoshop..

awsome for creating textures as well

id have to agree with you on that, but I personally find that zbrush is a easier tool to use than mudbox and can do more in a fast time period, I do like the look of autodesks new release but I'm not really a huge fan of autodesk.
