Adjustable grid size for the warp tool

anyone tried or heard of this plugin?
I desperately need a better warp solution than what CS6 offers and found this:
HSC edit/Grids
http://www.humansoftware.biz/pages120...

Doesn't look that polished but it seems to offer warping with a denser grid. I contacted them about a trial, waiting to hear back.

it even says you can turn your grid into Bezier curves which is what I'm looking for.

what I think is needed is for an option in Liquify to use a Bezier curves (like paths) adjustment. So we can can transform objects and areas a bit more smoothly than the push/pull of Liquify. And you'll be able to go back and forth between these 2 methods. then by doing this in the Liquify dialogue you have access to freeze and thaw brushes so selective areas can be protected at will. and in the end you can save a mesh and load it onto something else like a layer mask. By adding transform to Liquify and giving a more dense transform grid the user would have a really powerful image transformation tool.

Maybe I should make this a new topic and flesh it out more.

There is a work around this. Just select a smaller area in you image and work in steps instead. The selection you've made will still only have the warp tool's 9 areas but by selecting only a small area of your image you can pretty much place the grid/points where you want them and warp the image step by step. Not optimal but it works.

I'm in. I often wish there was just one more set of grids added to the Warp Tool to make it more flexible.

and i'd like to be able to brush in areas to freeze - or add grid warping to liquify - even better.

i want to choose how many subdivisions the grid in the warp tool has and then be able to move whole horizontal/vertical lines to transform

kinda like in mari.

Agreed, I'd love to be able to choose the number of subdivisions in the Warp command, that would make that tool much more useful and versatile. I think even Illustrator can do it.
