Mudbox for the Mac!

I now have Mudbox for the Mac. I'm thrilled and can't wait to see how it works. It will be great to run this in my native operating system instead of on bootcamp. Yes, bootcamp is nice, but when you have to log off and on to do other things that is a pain. Now, lets get busy on writing this Mudbox book "Digital Sculpting with Mudbox: Essential Tools and Techniques For Artists."

I am excited about working in mudbox, but the sculptor in me has a few concerns.

I want to be able to have a blob of clay- push and pull it until I "feel" what I want.
Doing this in mudbox can change the topography to something that is unworkable. So. I either need to learn another program and bring in what I want, or... perhaps retopologize what I create. But where does one find the retopologizing tools? That is the part of the learning curve as traditional sculptor goes digital.
