IllusionCatalyst - IC.Shape

IC.Shape

IC.Shape is a set of instruments designed to increase productivity and ease the modeling process, with particular focus on organic shapes. The whole toolset is driven by the 3ds Max standard painting system, that behaves in different but related ways for each tool. It gives its best paired with a pressure sensitive device, since many instruments react to natural strokes. The learning path is quite easy, thanks to a well designed interface and shortcuts painless to remember and handle during the modeling process. It allows to work well in 3ds Max Expert Mode, maximizing the active viewport space. Many tools recognize the actual status and perform different actions based on the artist's intent, without the needing of complex combinations of keys to press. No more than one key is to be hold at the same time to activate a different function and each modifier key gets similar results in comparable tools, like draw and erase, or the mesh shaping tools. This leaves the artist more time for the creative process and require less effort to achieve desired results.
