Formidable…as I know, it’s the second step for a max/presto animation solution presented by ingenious guys.
I hope the 3rd step will be a robust invidiable tool.

Thanks Clovis

Holy smokes… this is fantastic. Also, I want to animate that face so bad. Looks like an interactive Norman Rockwell painting. 😀

Innovation by 3rd Party (even though it was inspired by Presto)! Imagine how excited people would be if features like this showed up in 3ds Max without warning. Done by one (very talented) guy!
