Over on YouTube is a video showing a new Maya deformer called “fStretch” that offers real-time interactive manipulation and recomputation of surfaces.
fStretch is a new maya deformer that let one create astonishing stretch and squash setup very easily. All the resulted deformations are then sculptable and fast. The plugin can also be used for creating believable wrinkles. The algorythm (sic) is fast and can be used on heavy meshes without major slowdown. The plugin will run realtime on a reasonable mesh. With fStretch, you can now setup awesome facials rigs easier than never before! A setup that can take you days to make will now be created much faster and have better deformations.
The video points to www.cgaddict.com for more information, but there isn’t anything there yet. Hopefully some more info will come out soon! See the video after the break.
Hi there,
Thanks for making a little article about my plug-in 🙂 I just wanted to say that the website and the plug-in are now fully launched. I also made a new showcase video showing more interesting stuff about the plug-in, you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vn7gDLWe48
Thanks !
