Plug-ins by Masayuki Umezawa
Note
: Pictrix has more than 50 free
plug-ins available on this site, nearly every
one of which does something unique and
amazing. I highly encourage you to check
them out. The site is in Japanese, so you'll
likely need a translator utility to get the
lowdown on each of these great tools, but
the time you spend will be well worth it.
What it is:
Modeler => Utilities | Addi-
tional | C_Bend is a tool that allows you to
bend your object based on a background
spline (or curve).
What makes this cool:
LightWave's
native Bend tool is great for creating a sin-
gle bend in an object, but makes complex
bends tricky at best. Enter Pictrix's
C_Bend. It will bend your object based on a
spline, making it easy to create otherwise
impossible deformations.
