Anybody Know of a Expanded Warp Add-in/Plugin?

I would like to find an addin that does exactly what the Warp transform does, except it provides many more handles. The current plugin provides only 2 handles (4 if you count the corners). Ideally I would like to be able to define the number of handles, but just giving a selection of discrete sets (4, 8 16, 32, etc.) would probably do what I need. Does anybody know of such an addin?

Expression 3 (a separate app, not a plugin) had such a deformation grid that would allow this.

You can download Creature House Expression 3 for free. Microsoft bought the app prior to re-writing and enhancing it for its new Expression suite of apps. They left the old Creature House version available for download.

Whether or not you need Expression for grid deformations, it is a nifty vector/bitmap tool to have in your box.

I think Human Software's Squizz plug-in, with its distort with a grid < http://www.humansoftware.com/pages1200/Squizz/HSsquizz1111.h tml> option might have the capability you want. Squizz has several tools for "warping" and otherwise changing the shape of an image. One of their more impressive achievements is "wrapping" a fabric pattern onto a piece of furniture.

Thanks. It seems like that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks. Since it costs $150 less I'll try it first.
