    • object* duplication along a path using polygonal meshes as guide objects (e.g. for train tracks, etc. )
    • object* duplication along a path with NURBS surfaces as guide object NEW!
  • Generizer Node: NEW! 
    • object* replication within NURBS parametric space
    • deformation follows NURBS object
    • unique 2D texture map driven scaling
  • Texture Deformer: NEW!
    • 2D texture map driven deformation of polygonal meshes and NURBS surfaces
  • ReWire support (ticket01's solution for hassle free input attribute manipulation without the Hypergraph) NEW!
  • fully integrated into Maya's dependency graph
  • support for Maya 6.5, 7, 8, 8.5, 8 x64, 8.5 x64 (Windows, Linux)
