Woooow!! Astouning work with both creepy and sneaky... I'm no poet so I can't even find the words to praise your models...

Woooow...

Could you please explain me a bit of the concept of modelling using clay tools... and freeform...

Sensable produces force-feedback devices which let you hold a pen-like handle and move it around like a dentist's tool and interact with your model in 3D space, "feeling" the surface when the virtual tool touches it thanks to the force-feedback.
(we have a couple of these here at Frantic)

Good to hear there will be an actual modeling plugin for 3D applications, the device is pretty cool and rather affordable.

looks very promising
Is this going to be a plugin?
If yes, how can you work with a 2,439,396 triangles mesh?
