Tom,
  I downloded a demo of Caligari's TrueSpace V1.0 and have been tinkering
for a few days now.  TrueSpace uses a free-form deformation grid (I think
thats what its called).  You make a 3d grid around the object with as many
row/columns as you like, and you can then pull points and/or slices of the
grid around to distort the object inside (all this in real time...you see
the wire mesh distorting).   Its much more flexable then just picking a way
to distort from a set list.  I'm sure Imagine will be moving to this
sometime (I just hope its in one of the next quarterly releases).
