Below is a YouTube video and download links for an interesting plugin (Lite version) of a potentially powerful toolset from 3Point Studios for 3ds Max polygon creation.
3Point Studios are a UK based company who founded in 2005, with a heritage in games content outsourcing. The free version of the toolset was released 3 days ago (11 Aug 12) and according to the creators is a:
“..taste of things to come, and free to use for non-commercial purposes, 3ptools Lite is designed to invoke the experience of line-drawing in a 3D environment by letting you paint strips of geometry in an intuitive manner.
In order to let the artist remain creative, the technical complexities of the plugin are hidden underneath the hood. This means that a large number of cases are handled based on projected artist expectations and modeling environment, instead of forcing the user to micro-manage.”
Note that this free download is a ‘Lite’ version of the toolset for non-commercial use. For full details on the full version, please visit the 3Point Studios website.
Supported versions of 3ds Max are 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.
