3D Plugins

Maya Plugins

glu3D

glu3D is a liquid animation system that allow user to automatically animate water, fountains, rivers and other. Easy to use and free to try.

3DS Max Plugins


4D-Paint

4D Paint is a 32 bit windows based 3D texturing package for the PC. It has been designed to work directly with Kinetix's 3D Studio MAX package and Softimage NT. 4D Paint allows users to interactively position and paint directly on to the fully rendered surface of a 3D object built inside 3D Studio MAX or 3D Studio release 4 or Softimage NT.

Free Photoshop-compatible Plugins

PhotoFreebies

... is a collection of free plugins for performing usefull photo manipulations and effects e.g. sepia effects, desaturation gradients, b/w conversion, color space transformations and many more.

After Effects Plugins

Cult Effects

Cycore Computers. Cult Effects is a brand new set of 18 plug-ins for Adobe After Effects. Packed with indispensable tools to give you creative freedom and almost endless possibilities to deliver high-quality effects. "Just CE Paint alone is an absolute essential for every serious After Effects user. From minor touchups and dust removal to full scene painting, it's fast, easy to use and non-destructive. Truly amazing" Tim Sassoon, Sassoon Film Design

EI Universe Plugins

Triple D Tools

PowerParticles Pro has many unique features which facilitate set up and give you a wide range of control over the behavior of emitted particles. Anvil | Replicant™ Allows users to create realistic natural phenomenon quickly and easily. Anvil: Replicant's fractal and random placement generators allow unparalleled control over the construction of real world elements such as Clouds, planetary rings, atmospheric effects, gravel roads, forests, lawns, and on and on.
Anvil Steamroller™, a texturing plug-in for use with the Play’s Electric Image 3D Animation System. Anvil Steamroller generates geometry-based templates for texturing, which allow you to line up details perfectly with your models.

Lightwave PlugIns

Blevins Enterprises

VertiBevel can bevel multiple polygons as one, create multiple-step bevels in one execution, and much, much more.

Film Grain adds simulated "film grain" to a rendered image. This is useful for composing computer graphics elements with live film footage or simply making an animation look more like it was shot on film.

Light Diffusion is used to simulate diffusion lenses and add a dream glow to an image. With the proper setting it can be useful in matching computer graphics with actual footage. Light Diffusion recognizes and maintains field rendering.

Color Gradient is a color shading plug-in for applying a color gradient to an object's surface.

Blur is a powerful post processing color blurring tool. The Gaussian, Square, and Tent Blur functions are fast and feature rich, fully supporting field rendering and alpha channels.

Brush & Pencil is an image filter plug-in that simulates the use of an airbrush and a pencil.

Brightness + Contrast is an image filter plug-in that is used to brighten, darken, and change the contrast of a final rendered image.

Transparency Gradient is a shading plug-in for applying a transparency gradient to an object's surface.

Midpoint is a modeling plug-in that allows you to create and weld points and split polygons at their geometric center.

Mirror is a modeling plug-in that allows you to mirror an object around any point, line, plane (most common), or sphere.

Circle Sphere takes three or four points and creates a circle or sphere which the points define.

AlignTo is a modeling plug-in that reorients objects to align them up with other objects.

FitTo is a modeling plug-in that allows you to fit an object to any line, plane, or sphere.

Loft is a modeling plug-in which creates polygons between two strings of points. It is different from skinning in that it will create mixed quads and triangles in a loft, minimize "skew" when points in the lofted points are not lined up, and won't close the loft like skinning does. This allows for much more versatile work and for better metaforming by using quads.

AutoSurf is a modeling plug-in that, given four or more points, will create a surface skimming over those points.

Populate is a modeling plug-in that, given a set of points, will export those points as nulls, objects, or lights. This can be extremely handy for creating such things as forests, a string of lights for a runway, lighting for a city park, or any other repetitive task.

VertiLectric allows animators to create highly realistic lightning and organic effects.

VertiLectricTSX allows animators who use trueSpace to create highly realistic lightning and organic effects.

VertiSketch allows modelers to trace physical object into a 3D graphics object

Rhino Plugins

Layer Manager

The Layer Manager plug-in for Rhinoceros 2.0 manages layer settings by allowing you to save and restore layer configurations into layer states. Layer states can be updated and restored during a Rhino session. Layer states are saved in the 3DM, but they can also be exported to or imported from an external file

softimage Plugins

Ed Harriss

SOFTIMAGE|XSI and softimage 3.x Tools, Scripts, Plugins,scripts, shaders and Converters.
