Octagonal/quad reshape/matte plugin

[blanco111]

I am doing SargonIII's tut: www.pdnfanatics.com/how-to-make-a-glassy-vase-t403.html I got up to the step where the Octagonal plugin is required. I downloaded it and put it in the effects folder. But it doesn't show up in the effects menu anywhere. Thinking that the Polar Transformation plugin would be the updated substitute for the Octagonal Plugin, I tried using that. It didn't reshape the way I needed it to. (Note: the Octagonal plugin is not included in the list of needed plugins at the beginning of the tut and the Polar Transformation plugin is.) Anyway, I'd really like to finish this tut so any help would be appreciated.

I just saw something about quadrilateral reshape/matte plugin. But any clarification would still be very helpful.

Sorry blanco111, and thanks Welshblue, I have to move or re-post the tutorials here to this forum?

Only if you want to, Sargon. Nobody's holding a gun to your head.

lol, Lance, I was just thinking if they are now obsolete, a lot of changes happened, like new plugins and techniques.....
