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)
FFD
which one is that?
-
OK lets do it
