Soup morph node have it http://www.soup-dev.com/examples2_1.htm
Copy/paste from wiki: *morph* < Morph is fast, multithreaded and memory efficient blend shape deformer that can handle thousands of targets with ease and without degrading performance. *It can be used for pre-deformation blend shapes and post-deformation corrective shapes.* Key features: - fast, multithreaded computation - primary, inbetween and combination targets (combos are currently not accessible through the GUI) - standard (for editing of targets) and performance modes - interactive per-frame caching for even better performance - explicit control over inbetween targets - add, remove, edit inbetweens at any point - *per-target world, dag_node and surface transformation spaces* - per-target inMesh connections - paintable targets - comprehensive python API - streamlined GUI ---------------------------------------------------- Miquel Campos www.miquel-campos.com On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 8:52 AM, Raffaele Fragapane < [email protected]> wrote: > Shapes in Maya, AFAIK, only have the equivalent of the object mode of > Soft, which means the displacement is relative to the transform of the > object.
