Indie software company Kickstand is trying to take their popular skin manipulation tools “Stretchmesh” and make it an open-source community project, hoping it will help with some of the delays in bringing it to new software packages.  However, before they’ll do it they want $15k to help maintain it and prove that people really want it.  They’ve started a project on IndieGoGo to raise the funds, which currently sits at only $450 donated.

So, if you’ve found Stretchmesh to be useful, maybe you should consider adding some into it so help bring it to the new 2012 products (and beyond).  If you’re not familiar with it, check out their demo videos below.
