The TenPix Toolbar

The TenPix toolbar gathers seven tools that build, check and manage cloth and soft body set-ups. Each tool opens a small window, works on ordinary TenPix modifiers and leaves nothing behind that you could not have made by hand.

The toolbar is a docking toolbar named TenPix Cloth. Its seven buttons, and an action that shows or hides the toolbar, are also 3ds Max actions in the TenPix Cloth category, so you can put them on a hotkey, a menu or a quad menu.
