When you manipulate the Magnet tool's
sphere of influence in
multiple viewports
,it
becomes a true ovoid that can be used like
a traditional sculptor's tool, pressing and
pulling at a mass of Super Sculpey. (The
Perspective viewport in Figure 7-11 shows
how I usually like to work with my sub-
patch models, with Independent Visibility
active and choosing
not
to show cages,
guides, or the grid.)
Pole
Modify | Transform | More | Pole
takes
Size (Pole Evenly tool) and Stretch (Pole
tool), and blends them with the sphere of
influence of the Magnet tool. This is an
underrated tool that is very helpful for
organic modeling — especially “futuristic”
design.

Vortex
Modify | Rotate | More | Vortex Tool
takes the Rotate tool and blends it with the
sphere of influence of the Magnet tool. This
also is an underrated tool that is very help-
ful for
quickly
creating graceful, fluid
curves.
