Path Deform Pro

Marius Silaghi released Path Deform Pro, a modifier for 3ds Max that deformed models along a path. Unlike the application’s built-in Path Deform modifier, it was designed to avoid common self-intersections and stretching.

Features

Additional controls included a slinky effect, rolling, rigid deformation, curve rotation and scaling, and control over the up vector while using a separate spline.

Availability

Path Deform Pro was sold for €40 through Marius Silaghi’s website.
