This modifier can be used as an alternative to Linked XForms for animating vertices. It is based on the Select Poly modifier, and exposes controllers for every vertex. A button activates a scripted dialog to create/edit control dummies for the (soft) selection.

Use this controller to attach any objects' position to a particle. It is based on Peter Watje's Particle Controller and corrected to work with PFlow and to allow banking.

This is a variant of the Noise Map which adds a fade option. The color will fade to an average of two colors/maps away from the camera. Intended to avoid 'buzzing' with fine grain noise.

This is a compound object which creates meshes from particle trails. It requires a specific PFlow setup with a script operator. You can download demo Max files here.

This is a UV mapping modifier where the V coordinate is mapped according to edge distance. You can use it to create an x-ray effect by combining it with a gradient map.

This is a modifier that tries to conform a mesh to another mesh. Both meshes must be located at [0,0,0]

Craft Trailer was developed as an extension to Craft CarCam, and is a two wheel passive trailer simulator (use Craft ExtraWheel for multiple wheels).

Then the hook dummy is bound to a car or any animated object making the trailer follow the object.
