It is possible to create a node with the C++ plug-in andopen the maya file with the Python plug-in loaded and the other way around.The deformer does attract mesh vertices to either: polygons, curves or nurbs-surfaces.Use cases:- Sticky area between lips- Attract simple proxy geometry to real geometry, for lowres rig (this can also be done with closestPoint nodes in MEL, etc.
But with the deformer you can blend in stuff like normalProjection and you can see the result interactively)- Attract meshes for modeling- Attract complex shape to simple shape (both rigged) for deformation in rig- Attract along normal with limit for shrinkwrap effect L I N K S:- Demo video with link to latest Background information on my This was written in my spare time.
