      There are so many great ruby's available, however there are a few I use daily and others that I use specifically. I will say that 'Purge all' is my most used ruby for my day to day works and 'subsmooth', 'JPP', 'Surface tools' and 'FFD' used for all my freeform work (organics)

                    I use very much 45ºShadows plugin for elevations, it's very fast and you don't have to move shadows and sun for each view 😉
