weight values controlled by a texture
I'm not very familiar to maya, but I would like to do the following.
I want to use an animated procedural texture to control the weight values of the vertices.
And after that I would like to (move for example) those vertices using their weight values.
It is a great functionality that I could find in Modo, 3dsmax and houdini.
How should I approach this in maya?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for the answers, but i would really need it to deform the geometry since I want to add geometry operators after.
As blendshapes would not be very practical, but it could do the trick it would be good.
But before this I should need to find a way to the weighted deformation on a shape.
Perhaps the best example would be that the weights of a cluster are controlled by eighter an animated texture or procedural texture.
Cheers
Kim
