Dynamax is a commercial MAXScript that allows a Dynamesh-like workflow in Max. Its manner of free-form sculpting removes all need for focusing on topological constraints. It's possible to change the overall shape of any DynaMax object by pushing or pulling, adding various pieces of geometry to combine into one, or even removing geometry in a manner similar to what you can do with Boolean operations.

This script is currently in beta and is probably not 100% stable.

I can't find any details on what versions of Max DynaMax works in, but as it's a script and the YouTube video shows Max 2018, it should work on Max 2015 to 2019. It normally costs $12, but you can currently get a discounted version for $8.40.
