Dynamo
Dynamo is a plugin from Deform Dynamics. According to the developer, the GPU-accelerated cloth-dynamics tool runs between ten and one hundred times faster than the Cloth modifier built into 3ds Max. If borne out in a given production setup, that would represent a substantial performance increase.
Availability
At the time of publication, Dynamo cost €99 and was also available as a 30-day trial. The two introductory tutorials below demonstrate the first steps with the plugin.
