Unfortunately, Quickstretch is one of those tools carried over from
Softimage|3D that was only half ported.  If the 'plot velocities and
accelerations' capability were carried over, you'd be able to animate the
Quickstretch effect manually as needed.  I used it pretty heavily on cartoon
projects in the past with great success (huge timesaver too).

Your best workaround would be to envelope your character using nulls as the
deformers, then manually adjusting the overlapping action as needed in the
mixer by offsetting a clip.

Squash&Stretch (beginner question)

Subject : Squash&Stretch (beginner question)

anybody has a idea how to make a object squash and stretch, like with
the maya squash deformer, or with max squash scale mode?
i can only find the quickstretch deformer in xsi but that is not
helpful at all if you want to keyframe the squash by yourself

thx
