MCG Shell Be Right

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.

Ver 1.10: added Delay option

Ver 1.20: added Curl Axis so you can curl vertically (Y) or flat (Z)

Just a humble contribution on my journey to master MCG, I really sweated trying to find my way around MCG :p, sorry the setup is a bit messed up.
This tool as the name tells allows you to extrude any shape with some added capabilities over the normal extrude modifier.

Loops from Surface

Simple example of growing loops from open-ended surface. As such, it only looks for the first border and expands from there. Here it is shown on Cylinder with caps removed (default advanced sweep output would also work):

MCG PMesh

While this may not be quite so polished, it may get you out of a tight spot if you just MUST apply some modifier to Particles...hence they have to be turned to mesh.

Sorry, Max 2018 ONLY.

Installation:

(or drag n drop...whatever)

Then can be found as PMesh in modifier dropdown list)

MCG ConnVerts

(if anyone even contemplates suggesting me calling it Plexus...you can GAGF)

PF + Mesher + Connverts:

https://www.facebook.com/vustarama/videos/1727204060941423/

ver 1.01: for use with Particles (whether PF or Sprays) + Mesher, use Every Nth so that you treat each mesh as a 'particle' rather than multiple verts in a mesh.....but there's nothing to stop you from using it on a normal mesh like plane, box, teapot.....to achieve different effects...

MCG BifoldPlanes

Bifold 'rig' for opening windows, doors procedurally.

Video you see is of BifoldPlanes.

Bifolds_Free:

- does NOT have Circular arrangement.

- does NOT have Alternate Hinges, ie. all are either top, bottom, left or right, instead of top+bottom or left+right combination.

- Effectors will use only pivot, not actual mesh.

To get BifoldPlanes to open up your windows, you'll first have to open up your wallet...

MCG R Clone JC

This is a clone I created based in the one I uploaded yesterday but I added a Radial Clone parameter to it based on Vusta's MCG Clone Radial. He deserves the credit for the Radial clone part of the modifier!!!!!
