The volume deform was inspired by Grabber and the guy behind Grabber (who was working at Softimage at the time and whose name I can't remember) was supportive of our effort to replicate his plugin in XSI. -- Brent

The design of XSI’s Volume Deformer was indeed based on their Grabber plugin for SI|3D. Konshus also made a sculpting tool called Smither (I think) and maybe another tool. gray From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Sven Constable Sent: Friday, November 11, 2016 3:46 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: SI|3D Flashback I think MetaMesh was from PhoenixTools.

It became the Volume Deform in XSI. I thought it worked better as a modeling tool in soft, but was a better deform tool in XSI. Conscious also made the MetaMesh plugin if my memory serves me well. It was an implementation of subd in Soft|3D. On 11/11/2016 01:31 PM, Sven Constable wrote: Hey list, a demo by Chinny and he's talking about some plugins. I remember many of them, like PhoenixTools, Arete and the Ray Rebels stuff but I never heard of "Conscious". They developed a plugin called Grabber, that seems it was incorporated in XSI later on, as "Volume Deform". Ha, didn't know that! Quite entertaining demo btw.
