> > does maya have a relax or smooth deformer? Yes, the cMuscleSystem node can be used as smooth or relax deformer. http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2010help/files/Muscle_Nodes_cMuscleSystem_node_.htm
The rest point positions are stored when you create the node but I believe you can reset this rest state later (never tried, sorry) . The scripts that create the deformer will throw an error if you try to stack more than one, you can change those scripts or trick them by creating any other deformer before applying a new cMuscleSystem, afterwards you can delete the extra deformer (a cluster does the trick just fine).
