Hi there,
I've written a little mel script which moves a mesh's vertices in space, but I'd like to make the tool "live" (like a deformer) where I can drag a slider to affect where the points are in space (slider at zero - original position, slider at 10 - points have been moved 10 units accordingly).
I'd also like to be able to save the scene and have the scene remember these things (like the verts' original position) which doesn't really work with a mel script alone, but would as a deformer.
Is this going to have to be done as a plugin? And if so, what do I need to download from Autodesk to get started? (considering I have never written a plugin in my life - only mel scripts).
