Is there any alternative so Helge's magnet tool? I tried using it but its constantly crashing on me. It seems to only work with very low res meshes. I'm trying it on a sphere with a bit more detail and its not working. I thought I saw something similar to his magnet tool posted here awhile back but I can't find it. I'm basically looking to push geometry inwards like a peg pushing on a balloon. The peg moves around so the deformation needs to follow the peg. I trying using volume deforms on nulls that are driving the surface but that doesn't give me quite the same effect. Soft bodies are too unpredictable and uncontrollable. I tried using lattice as well but thats not quite responding accurately enough. This is one type of deformer XSI really needs...could be very handy.
