🔹 Useful Plugins for Modeling Efficiency 🔹

Here are two powerful plugins that can significantly speed up your workflow in 3DS Max by simplifying common modeling tasks.

1️⃣ Regularizer Plugin – Perfect Circular Selections

🔹 Purpose: Converts selected polygon faces into a perfect circle for cleaner geometry and easier extrusion.

✅ How to Use:

1. Select the faces you want to regularize (e.g., square or uneven shape).
2. Run the Regularize Plugin.
3. Your selected faces are now reshaped into a perfect circle.
4. You can extrude, bevel, or continue modeling with an accurate circular shape.

💡 Pro Tip: Can be used on edge and border selections as well.

 

2️⃣ WPivot2Edge – Align Pivot to Edge for Precise Transformations

🔹 Purpose: Aligns your working pivot to any selected edge, making it easier to rotate or move objects along a custom axis.

✅ How to Use:

1. Select an edge that you want to align your pivot to.
2. Run WPivot2Edge.
3. Your working pivot will now align perfectly with that edge’s orientation.
4. Use this to rotate, move, or scale objects accurately along that plane.
5. To turn off, go to Hierarchy → Turn Off Use Working Pivot.

💡 Pro Tip: Great for angled objects like pipes, slanted surfaces, or non-uniform geometry where default axis orientations don't match the object's current angle.

 

 Why These Plugins Are Useful

✅ Saves Time – No more manually aligning pivots or reshaping circles.
✅ Improves Accuracy – Ensures precise geometry and correct pivot alignment.
