Mesh deform modifier properties
The mesh deform modifier lets you alter an existing model resource's geometry at runtime. You
can create twist, bend, and ripple effects. Unlike other modifiers, the mesh deform modifier
directly affects model resources as well as the models that use those resources. For example, if
three car models share the same model resource, adding this modifier to one model and then
deforming it will deform all the car models.
The mesh deform modifier is complex and is primarily useful for users with a thorough
understanding of 3D geometry. However, you can take advantage of much of the modifier's
potential by using only the

Description
This is a system-defined notification event triggered when a motion
begins playing. If looping is on, this event is triggered only by the first
playthrough. During a blend of two animations, this event will be
triggered as the blend begins.
This is a system-defined notification event triggered when a
motion ends. If looping is on, this event is triggered only by the
first playthrough. If blending is on, this event will be generated for the first
animation when the blend is complete. There may be some latency
because of the overhead of scheduling all other Director events.

Description
Returns the number of meshes in a model.
Returns a list of the vertices for the specified mesh.
To modify the vertices in this mesh, set this property
to a list of modified vertex positions, or modify
individual vertices using bracket analysis.
Returns a list of the normals for the specified mesh.
Returns a list of the texture coordinates for the
specified mesh.
Returns the number of triangular faces in a given
mesh.
