Cloth Deform is a modifier which creates cloth-like wrinkles on top of any mesh deforming modifier, which squashes / stretches its edges (e.g. Skin). It is history-independent, so it gets a single mesh as an input and transforms it into a wrinkled-state based on its rest pose. It doesn't do any simulation, so to see the result at frame 100 you don't have pre-sim the (0-99) range as you would in other cloth simulators.

Cloth Deform is available for Max 2015 to 2021 and costs €29.
