talking about form 2004-05-12 - By Ben Kilgore

There is the volume scaling option in your transform panel...wont help much
with deforms though.
This started me thinking about a deformation option that would take the
vector of a movement of some vertices and deliver that to the rest of the
geometry, either uniformly or with a definable falloff (originating at the
center of the vertices, perhaps), with the target of maintaining object
volume from before the points were moved. The percentage of maintenance of
course would be easy to allow the user to control as well.
Implementing this as an operator or property would be interesting, too. As
a geometry operator, you'd see it when you moved some vertices...as a
property, you could see it in the difference between two shapes, or
deformations. For example, you have a default shape and another shape.
This property would take the vectors by frame, and apply that maintenance to
the geometry with similar user controls as the geometry operator.
Forgive me if my terminology is not correct. I am neither a developer nor a
programmer. But, this is pretty interesting to me.
