Soft Selection?

[steveblake]

There's nothing identical exactly... but try this:

Modify / Tranformation Tools / Proportional Modification Tool

..as has been mentioned before - it kinda works like Max but "the other way round". The 'soft' deformation is within your selction of CV's.

Don't like it much myself. This may be a better alternative:

Clay Dough Magnets

(now also supports Nurbs, Lattices + Curves)

There is a script in highend that does something similar... (not quite.. but close enough)

I don't remember the name, but it had something to do with magnets or something

Try this:

Go to the bottom of the page - it's named "xySoftPeak v0.1"

Looks great, the only problem is I can't get the plug-in to load, he
said he will fix the loading problem in a future release and the
problem is that some machines are missing a DLL the plug-in needs.
