wooo, awesome stuff. Not a regular Maya user but thinking about switching to linux and Maya from 3ds max. This plugin looks cool and it ain’t overpriced. Good job
shame 3ds max doesn’t haven’t something similar to live booleans and subdivision as showcased by modo, zbrush and maya plugins. slowly getting left behind
I believe you can do everything in the video above with the new boolean system that comes with Max 2017+. It doesn’t have the subdvision/retopo tools that come with modo/zbrush, but hopefully that is something they will circle back around and add it shortly.
Yes, you have it for more than 2 years now, and works very well:

Non destructive workflow, like another modifier, life feedback, still missing better retopo, but trying with hires geo, is faster and easier to work (and more accurate!) than procutter or proboolean.

This is not 1996!
3dsMax has had live boolean since 90s.
