Install the Mudbox Help

By default, the Mudbox product launches Mudbox Help from the Internet, but you can instead use a local copy of the Help.

Prepare to install the Mudbox Help

Before you install the Mudbox Help, complete the following actions:

• Install Mudbox 2016.
• Download the Mudbox 2016 Help compressed file for your platform from www.autodesk.com/mudbox-helpdownload-enu.
• Extract the files from the compressed file to the desired location.
  Note: You can choose to install the Mudbox Help on a shared location such as an internal network or web server. To do so, you must copy the docs directory to a shared location.

When choosing a shared location, ensure that the directory path to the Mudbox Help does the following:

• Points directly to the Help location. For example, \\CompanyServer\SharedLocation\MudboxHelp\docs\Mudbox2016\en_US.

  Does not use an alias path.

• Points to the directory containing the index.html file. For example, the path pointing to the English Mudbox Help ends at the \en_US directory.
• Uses either http or https protocol for a web server location.

Note: Help preferences must be set in the Mudbox product on each computer to access the Help at the new location.
