Poly Shape (CPS) is an extensive polygon modeling toolset for
Maya. It supports interactive smoothing, mirror and stitch, shells
and triangulation. Often used polygon selection, modification
and display tools are combined in one compact window, thus speeding
up workflow speed. For installation and usage please refer to
the HTML documentation included in the ZIP archive.
