Tension Deformer for Blender

I've seen some addons trying to use simulation to mimic wrinkles. As a cheaper alternative It'd be great to have an equivalent to maya's tension addon which can be used for many things, from volume preservation to mimic compression/stretch wrinkles as well, without the need for simulation.

"It uses the connectivity between the mesh vertices to preserve the (relative) lengths between them. "

With squash/stretch, shear/bend constrain options, as well es relative settings it's really versatile.

(is there an option to upload a gif to the post?)

* @-L0Lock- * ah, thanks for that!

Vyach

at first volume-conservation system should be implemented. It is important for many parts of Blender (softbody, deformations)

* @ Vyacheslav * in maya the 2 are related, but by tweaking the settings one can do more interesting things as well.
