Thank you Bradley, for that acquintance. I thought Blender guys were the ones who ideally found that method exploit, I´ve seen them in a lot of their rigs (low cage deformer aided by weights from bones, to drive more complex bodies/facials)... I´m glad that came from softimage. Not surprisingly all SI people on Japan is migrating to Blender....
