3rd Powers plug-ins offered in the Powerful Creativity Bundle include:

  • LW Brush: 14 modeling tool plugins for mesh editing such as, translating, rotating, grabbing, sliding, smoothing, pushing, pulling, drawing, cutting, extending, and more.
  • Cage Deformer: An intuitive animation tool that allows artists to freely edit the mesh deformation of an object by wrapping it with a low-resolution cage-like geometry.
  • Lattice Deformer: Distort and animate objects in the lattice by grabbing, stretching, rotating and distorting.
  • Meta Mesh: A new modeling technique to interactively weld and hollow an object in the viewport; Subpatch objects can also be welded and hollowed without harming the model.
  • Boolean Tool: An interactive version of Boolean that creates a new object from the overlapping portions of the foreground and background objects.
  • Heat Shrink Plus: A modeling tool that dynamically combines a foreground polygon mesh to a background object, similar to wrapping an object.
