Plugins you can't live without?

CreativeHD · Dec 2014

I was looking at expanding my Maya arsenal and speeding up my workflow. Is there any plugins you can't live without?

there's a lot of versions available but a Random Deselection script is really useful for adding quick variation to things.

Nightshade for sure. Most of the other stuff, I just scripted up myself.

Yes. However, previous versions it didn't come standard.

I've always loved Loop Regularizer for making holes in Max. There's probably an easy way to do it without using scripts but I'm a filthy casual.

Still not on par with the features in Marius's modifier...yes it's a quad chamfer, But Marius's script offers numerous ways to apply and manipulate the quad chamfer that doesn't seem to be in the default max.....

SHAPES is a must have if you are wanting to do any Pose Space Deformation(PSD) work. http://www.braverabbit.de/shapes/

Pretty sure OP is looking for Maya tools.

I'm guessing OP was but it can't hurt to list great plugins for any tools you use since this thread will likely come up in a google search for some lonely artist in the future.
