I made a tool for parametric modeling based on bitmap input by 3dsmax MCG graph This graph makes a 2d array from the mesh on top of the modifier stack in the XY plan and applies a grayscale bitmap to it and applies transfer setting to brighter areas of the bitmap given to it.

for better understanding see youtube video

I'm calling this Muscle deform because that's what I set out to use it for but it can deform one mesh with another. Requires a vertex colour modifier underneath this modifier to enable it. The Bool is to determine if the deform happens with Red colour vert or green colour vert's.

My first experiment with MCG. This modifier will stretch an object along its z axis to the length of the selected spline.

A very simple and handy modifier that will turn you high dense mesh into a bounding box, which will save your life if you are dealing with thousands of clones like what happened with me when I was designing my MCG tool (Brick wall builder). So what you have do is just apply this modifier and activate it only in the viewport but in render time it's gonna use the original mesh ;)
