Every vertex you drag will be snap to the surface of the objects set to "live". The wireframe might be confusing, I use the highquality rendering to make the source mesh visible. You can even make it transparent by tweaking its shader.
Silo2, but using surface snapping, not the topology tool. NEX-like click-drag would be nice, but even NEX isn't enough to make me want to model in Maya
Well I'm trying out Nex at the moment and I've gotta say it's damn nice. Given a little time to get used to the tools and hotkeys I could really see this speeding up my workflow! Thanks for the heads up!
If you go to the forums at http://draster.com/, I believe there's a recent preview vid up that shows off some of the new features in the next release. I don't have my login here at work or I'd link directly. Some pretty cool stuff.
They are continuing on with the 'less is more' approach with their tools - something I've been bitching at devs about for a long time. Funny how it takes a completely new/unheard of company to implement this stuff. Even funnier that it would happen in Maya of all programs.
I just wish NEX could support custom mouse binding. That feature continues to give Silo a huge workflow advantage over pretty much anything else.

I would kill my neighbor's dog for this in Max
As for retopo, Max with Polyboost. Tried Silo's also but didn't like it's retopo workflow that much.
haha, convoluted?
Max + polycruncher + polyboost + TiM scripts shrink wrap and conform wrap

whats that TiM scripts shrink wrap and conform wrap you speak about?
