In the meantime, here’s a little proof of concept plugin I’ve thrown together for Maya – A noise deformer! Why Maya doesn’t have one in the first place is anyone’s guess, but this simple little script will apply a basic perlin noise to a mesh with a locator to manipulate it’s effect. The script is fairly basic, as trying to calculate noise on a heavy mesh in python would be too computationally expensive, but with the theory in place it should be relatively easy to recreate it in C++.
