Joe Alter Releases LipService for MAYA... Finally.

"Joe Alter of Shave and a Haircut Fame (Maya hair and fur plugin) has finally released LipService for Maya.  Here's what it is in Joe Alter's own words. Couldn't say it better myself.

LipService is a powerful multi-resolution subdivision surface sculpting, rigging and animation system built into a friendly and intuitively organized Maya plugin.

LipService's sculpting tools are comparable to ZBrush** and Mudbox*. Its animation tools extend this multi-resoltion editing philosophy through to motion and rigging.

This is the first time we've ever seen this kind of tool. Utilizing tools like PSD, Corrective Sculpt, and Blendshapes at the subpoly level allows you to increase the amount of animated detail in your scene by orders of magnitude.

Even inhouse tools at the largest studios in the industry do not do this yet, which is why they've been eager to test it during beta and track its progress."

As for what the fist symbol is all about. I have NO idea.  What about Max? C4d? XSI? LW? Modo?
Not bloody likely!
