Hi people, I’d like to give you a sneak peak at some of the features included in the scripted plugin PolyBoost I’ve been working on for some time now. The tool is mainly focused on bringing easy to use, but advanced selection-tools to 3ds max, as well as some modeling tools wich will make life easier in everyday modeling. With these tools 3ds max will have the most advanced selection tools on the market today, and myself as a modeller am very excited about them since I don’t think I’ll ever work on a project again without having them available.

Due to my currently limited webspace I had to move along pretty quickly in the video to keep the filesize small, but feel free to ask me if there was anything that was unclear. Any feedback you can provide on what you like and what you do not like is very useful to me.
Some notes about PolyBoost:
Most of the tools works in all subobject modes, one tool for all modes.
UVW-mapping is kept intact for all modeling tools.
All tools that do not require an interface to be useful are available as shortcuts for the keyboard or quadmenus.
Many tools have an optional function when holding the ctrl button. Most of the time this will apply the action only on the current selection or do another variation of the tool.
All tools and options will be descibed in detail in the helpfile and tooltips are available for each button in the interface while hovering over them.
cheers,
CML
