Brent Forrest was never really satisfied with the simple Torus Primitive in Maya so he set out to create MEGATORUS, a Torus generator for Maya with controls for major and minor sweeps great for creating pipe fittings, arcing tubes, and even spirals. Check out the freeware MegaTorus Torus generator for Maya here.

Brent Forrest writes: “If you are like me, you find the Maya Torus to be somewhat lacking in basic features, then MegaTorus is for you. What started out as a basic torus generator – capable of dialing up both major and minor sweeps, became a tool so laden with features that I cannot truly predict all applications. In plain, it is an infinitely variable Torus and Pipe generator, somewhat similar to Rope Rig Pro, with many more features. Check the images for a breakdown on how to use MegaTorus Lite – all features are consolidated into the channel box.”
