If you have ever tried to create complex, organic shapes in SketchUp using only the native tools, you know the struggle. Sketchy FFD (Free-Form Deformation) is the classic solution for deforming meshes with a level of flexibility that standard push-pull operations simply can't match. Originally developed by Chris Phillips and now maintained by mind.sight.studios, this plugin allows you to manipulate 3D models using a "control cage". What is Sketchy FFD?
