3ptools is an extensive toolset for 3D modeling in Autodesk 3ds Max, focusing on ease-of-use and automation of technical tasks.
As a taste of things to come, and free to use for non-commercial purposes, 3ptools Lite is designed to invoke the experience of line-drawing in a 3D environment by letting you paint strips of geometry in an intuitive manner.
In order to let the artist remain creative, the technical complexities of the plugin are hidden underneath the hood. This means that a large number of cases are handled based on projected artist expectations and modeling environment, instead of forcing the user to micro-manage.
3ptools Lite is available for download as of August 11th from http://www.3pointstudios.com

Congratulations! This is very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for maya, any plans to release it for such app?
ReplyDeletewith the idea of 'Lite' in the name, are there any plan for another (or two) versions in the future? :D
ReplyDeleteExcellent, and Congrats :) !
ReplyDeleteCan this be available for Max 2013?
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate the comments, guys.
ReplyDeleteMaya version: Only a possibility for now. Let's see if we can drum together the resources to make it happen.
Pro release: Keep watching this spot - You've seen nothing yet!
Max 2013: It's relatively early days for that version of Max, as it's still being updated by Autodesk, but it will get there in time, rest assured.
The 3ptools installer has been updated to version 1.01. Note that this is only relevant for users who experienced MSVC DLL problems.
ReplyDeletePlease send any bug reports to support@3pointstudios.com, along with a full description of how to reproduce the problem, your software environment (max/windows version 32/64 bit), and copies of the log files listed at the bottom on the uninstaller window.
