MCG Mirror Morph

3 votes

This MCG will mirror the form of your geometry across an axis for creating morph targets. The Form/Shape is mirrored, not the geometry itself or vert IDs as this would render the targets useless. The geometry's form/shape should be symmetrical (pivot centred) but vertex distribution does not have to be symmetrical, as can be seen with model with one eyebrow. Modify your target and the mirrored result is updated live, not like some static, dead end mirror/skinwrap method.

Requirements: Max 2016/17/18

MCG Fit BBox

2 votes

This MCG will auto fit one mesh to the BBox of another. A simple usage would be a toy soldier and the plastic container. Either object could be the 'controller', ie. the toy should be a tiny bit smaller than the container...or the the container should be slightly bigger than the toy.

MCG Shell Be Right

2 votes

If you use Shell on a noisy surface, you'll get self penetrations. Even with Edit Normals, it will not correct it coz Shell uses face normals rather than vertex normals (I think).

This MCG will correct the Shell with a surface that is the same with the underlying geometry, you can do this manually with an Extrude using Group Normals rather than Local Normals. This MCG provides the convenience so you can change the Shell and not having to redo the Extrude.
