Blurry text/icons with 4K monitors

As of the 2019.1 release, Mudbox automatically resized its interface to match the resolution of your monitor. If you have a high DPI monitor, such as 4K, the Mudbox interface rescales to twice the size. For high-resolution monitors, this may lead to less sharp text and icons in the user interface.

You can disable the automatic interface scaling to return Mudbox to its original size. If you do this, Mudbox reverts to the original 1:1 scaling, and text and icons are sharper but smaller overall.

To disable automatic interface scaling, append the flag -noupscale to the Mudbox.exe string each time you want to turn off the automatic scaling: mudbox.exe -noupscale.

  1. Right-click the Mudbox shortcut on your computer and select Properties.
  2. In the Shortcut Properties window, select the Shortcut tab.
  3. Change the last part of the path in the Target field to …mudbox.exe" -noupscale, for example: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Mudbox 2019\mudbox.exe" -noupscale
    Note: The flag must be added after the quotation marks (") in the Target path, and there must be a space before it.
