I know it sounds a little counter productive, however Israel Bermudez shows us the method he uses when he is not able to get details directly in Mudbox. As an example he cites: “ClayTubes Brush this brush is hard to replicate in Mudbox. So I just drop a model in Zbrush add in the details with the desired brush export the displacement map and paint in mudbox. If you have any questions please just ask. I’ll be more then happy to help if i can.”
