Push Pro

The short answer is: Marius Silaghi’s Push Pro does exactly that. With this plugin, Silaghi set out to improve the standard Push modifier in 3ds Max.

Push Pro offers several advantages: it prevents self-intersections and preserves surface detail better than the standard Push modifier. Another benefit is the ability to use vertex-colour soft selection to control the strength of the push.

Marius Silaghi’s Push Pro was available for €30 at the time of publication. Further details are available on the developer’s website, which also hosts a demonstration video of the plugin.
