Creature Creator
from: FxRealms
Creating humanoids, aliens, monsters, bugs, and other things that go bump
in the night is an easy experience with Creature Creator. Make one-of-a-kind
characters for cartoons, fantasy and sci-fi in minutes - by using any
of the plugin's library of over 500 pre-defined body parts, which can
be tweeked or combined in endless ways for genuine originality. Of course
you can also add your own modifications and models to the library to make
the possibilities with this plugin endless. If you're serious about your
animations, you'll want to add Creature Creator to your toolbox.

CySlice
CySlice v3.3 allows users to fit SUBD surfaces to dense polymeshes,
and as with the NURBS fitting tools, color and bump/normal/displacement
maps can then be calculated. CySlice v3.3 outputs the same Catmull-Clark
variety of SUBD surfaces that Maya and Renderman uses.
EzCurve
The EzCurve tool is an creation and editing feature for NURBS curves
with the advantage of an interface that allows the user to create and
edit a NURBS curve and polygons in the same manner as a bezier curve (
like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator etc.). It combines the power of a
NURBS curve with the ease of editing a bezier curve containing the same
elements: tangents, smooth points, break points etc.Basicly it is a method
that gives the user the same intuitive steps to follow that is usual in
a Bezier curve creation program.

Itoosoft
Forest The plugin is a parametric and animatable object, optimized for
speed. It can create more than 50,000 tress per second on a Pentium II-350.
Planes Its a parametric object which, different from Forest, may be copied,
instanced and affected by modifiers. Also it's compatible with the Itoo
Software Clone plugin.
XShadow Create realistic shadows for Forest and Planes objects automatically
using their materials. Correct shadows for opacities without using raytrace
casting!
Planes Material Material plugin to define size of trees and planes automatically
from their ID. Store library of textures with dimensions of objects embedded.
Planes Look Modifier equivalent of Forest's camera options. Aligns the
planes plugin with any object and reduces geometry flicker as elements
move outside of the camera's FOV.
Planes Surf Modifier equivalent to surface rollout of Forest. Attach planes
to any surface (terrains, etc.).
Forest Cam Utility to change the camera in all Forest objects with a single
click. Forest To Planes Utility to convert Forest objects to Planes objects.
Create a random distribution with Forest and convert it in Planes to modify
objects individually, clone them, etc.
Maya Caustics
updated for Maya 4 - NT - Allows Maya 4 ability to accurately simulate
more of the ways real light can move through a scene.
Melanie
MELANIE is a FREE powerful tool to help you build your own User Interfaces
for Maya. Until now, you had to program them with MEL commands. Now, you
can easily do the same with only a few mouse clicks

Mesh Project
Plugins Maya MESH is a product line of 5 independent but complementary
software tools (Maya Plug-ins) bringing innovative technologies and rationalizing
the production of ultra-realistic 3D virtual characters dedicated to entert
ainment markets such as the Internet, video games, television and cinema.
This project of R&D joined together of the professional and university
partners of the world of the 3D. The site presents various information
on the course of the project and many links towards sites related to research
in the field of the 3D.
FaceGenerator is a Maya plug-in allowing the swift and intuitive generation
of 3D bare human faces hardly distinguishable from real ones, through
the choice of specified morphologic attributes defined by the computer
graphic artist himself, such as gender, age, morphology, skin color, etc.
Hairstyler is a Maya plug-in allowing the swift and intuitive creation
of realist hairstyles.
HeadIntegrator is a Maya plug-in allowing the composition of a whole
parametrable 3D character based on a bare face (FaceGenerator) and additional
elements.
TargetShapesGenerator is a Maya plug-in allowing the automatic definition
of a set of deformation / displacement fields corresponding to visemes
and emotional expressions adapted to the morphology of the considered
face
CharacterAnimator is a Maya plug-in allowing to facilitate the definition
of highly realist animations of a complete characterl - resulting from
HeadIntegrator
natFX
natFX for Maya is a dynamic plant modelling and simulation tool. Geared
towards animation and special effects, natFX for Maya also allows game
developers to rapidly model dynamically animated trees for real-time applications
! Have natFX automatically generate a unique skeleton for the tree, have
the leaves rustle about in a wind, shape the branches and trunk using
natFX’s subdivision surfacing. Grow, age, change the seasons ! natFX
for Maya, a complete plant modelling and simulation tool ready for use
in any field.
