Clovis Gay has released three new Morpher plugins for Max 2016:

OverMorpher World Space v1.0 - OverMorpher World Space gives you all the freedom that even the best rig can't. You can sculpt your poses in animation at a specific time, and your corrective poses are blended on top of your mesh deformations. It can be applied on top of any mesh deformations like a skin modifier, a point cache, a cloth simulation, an alembic cache, etc. You can also add cartoony deformations, like smear frames, squash and stretch, change the silhouette, correct a cloth simulation, and more...

OverMorpher Mesh Space v1.0 - OverMorpher Mesh Space works like a morpher, but on top of an animated mesh. It can be placed over a skin modifier, a point cache, an alembic, etc. Each morph target follows the deformation of a reference vertex, so whatever the animation does before the modifier, the morph will always follow properly. That makes it really handy for adding and animating deformations that your rig can't do, or add different morphologies to copies of the same animated mesh.

OverMorpher Pose Space v1.0 - OverMorpher Pose Space is pretty similar to SkinMorph in that it uses corrective poses driven by your rig, except the pose interpolation is more reliable. The SkinMorph modifier drives the poses depending on the angle between two bones, and because of the nature of rotations in 3D software and rotation orders, in some cases the interpolation doesn't work as expected, mainly on bones which have more than one free angle. This plugin is based on what is called a Radial Basis Function, so it doesn't use angles between poses, but distance between two points, which solves the angle problem, and opens up new possibilities.

The OverMorpher plugins are available for Max 2016 and cost €107.10 (OverMorpher World Space), €83.30 (OverMorpher Mesh Space) and €71.40 (OverMorpher Pose Space).

Combine lets you combine multiple animated meshes into one without losing their animations and deformations.

Features include:
- Pick multiple source objects, it'll combine them to a new mesh
