Deformed Edges

Follow these five step:
1. Select your model (the conditions are: model must be converted
as Editable Poly object with none modifiers assigned).
2. Manually select edges or you can use the button
*Select Contour Edges* which will select all edges
with the given minimum and maximum angle between
two faces who share same edge.
3. When the edges are selected press *Analize Topology*
button to recive some inportant pararametars for
precalculation process.
4. I suggest to use default settings for the first deformation
process by pressind *Defor Selected Edges* Button.
Then activate *Interactive mode* which will allow you to have
direct feedback of any changes on your model.
5. You can also use *Peview UNS* (use NURMS Subdivision)
with display iterations, or remove all changes on model
topology (*Revert Object Topology*).

N O T E: If your object has a large polygon count
(high poly model) then do not recommend that you
use *Interactive mode* or if you do choose to use this mode
in the previously described conditions then try to
increase or decrease spinner value only by one.
Take a look very nice presentation of this tool by Chandan Kumar on cg.tutsplus.com http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3d-studio-max/quick-tip-how-to...

Installation:
Place the bga_DeformedEdges_v1.0.ms file into a
max script directory.
This script is written and tested on 3dsMax 2011 x64
and 3dsMax 2012 x64, but it may work in older version.
