StretchMesh is a new paradigm for surface deformation. By using a fast algorithm for relational vertex knowledge, smooth character deformations can be created quickly and with superior results over existing techniques. StretchMesh is implemented as a standard Maya deformer to work seamlessly with and enhance existing work flows.

StretchMesh (32 or 64 bit) is available for Autodesk Maya versions 2008, 2009 and 2010 on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Please note that the latest release of StretchMesh for Maya 8.0 or 8.5 is currently not available and that MacOS builds are for OSX 10.5 - contact us if you are interested in a build for OSX 10.4 or 10.6. Seats are defined by your computer's network card MAC address and this information will be required to generate a license. Floating licenses are also available.

Features Skinning Killer Eliminate hours of painting weights. Character Contact: Surfaces can now collide with objects in the world for more realism. All-in-One Deformation Solution Bodies and Faces can be set up quickly and easily with natural skin motion such as stretching, sliding, and bending. Production Ready Integrates with pipelines of any size. Feature Quality Results Achieve feature film quality results quickly. Versatile StretchMesh is a modeling tool, a realtime deformer, and/or a render time relaxation operation. Attractors Pull points while maintaining stretchy behavior to quickly create shapes or act as animation controls. Intuitive Deformations Painting interface allows users to modify attributes such as stiffness and attractor influence. Multi-threaded Performance Multi-threading available for Maya 2009+ only. Fast Primitive Collision Objects Primitive sphere and primitive curve colliders. Primitive sphere colliders behave like mesh sphere colliders, but with significantly better performance. Primitive curve colliders provide an array of radius values along the length of a curve which define a collision tube or capsule, offering significantly better performance than equivalent mesh colliders. Curve Attractors Curve attractors provide the ability to pull vertices toward the closest point on a curve. As an example, this technique is useful in facial rigging, where the vertices of an eyebrow need to be pulled toward a target curve. Robust Collision Control The influence of a collision object can now be painted, giving users per-vertex control over collision behavior. Workflow Improvements A new "Scale Safe" mode allows a mesh to be scaled while preserving the initial mesh shape.
