Re: [K3d-development] md2 file format [was:] SVG improvement

Hi,

I was actually looking at the possibility of doing it with a TweakPoint node
but isn't it better to use just a simple_deformation_modifier node? and do
something similar as what I did in clothing using an m_time variable and
connecting it to the default TimeSource.

With this in mind, I have a question regarding the creation of a plug-in. If
I create a node in a document (simple_deformation_modifier in this case) how
can I access the code of a function (in this case on_deform_mesh) so I can
actually tweak the points for the animation? Thanks in advance

Bests,
Carlos
