Maya does not have procedural modifiers, so instancing is heavily used for this purpose. Creases can then be easily converted to bevels to decrease the number of subdivision required for the smooth and perfect surface.Īnother powerful feature is quick Mirroring and Instancing with Mirror. Using creases as an addition to control loops allows for very powerful and non-destructive workflow for high-poly modeling.
One of the main focuses of GS Toolbox is hard-surface modeling and creasing workflow. The main power of GS Toolbox is the speed of its functions and the ability to quickly apply any function from one menu without opening windows and changing options. For example, going into edge selection mode (angle button) highlights “Select Edge”, “Crease+” and “Bevel+” button to indicate that you can finish the selection with one of those functions.
This plug-in uses an intuitive and interactive menu that changes depending on the currently used function. GS Toolbox is a powerful hard-surface and general purpose modeling plug-in for Maya that adds a lot of useful new features, as well as expands and simplifies already existing Maya functions.
