Skew and Distort transform functions

Hello!

I'm really hankering for the ability to keyframe skew and distortion effects. This would be particularly useful in creating faux 3D effects, like a face stuck to a "sphere" that follows the camera. Right now, all I can do is do x and y scaling with joysticks, which ALMOST does the job, but if I could use a skew or distort transform I could really make things stick in "3D" better.

Thanks!

Hi, I just started testing it out yesterday and have gone mad NOT finding skew / shear. So finally it seems its not included as a feature.
For me those are CORE animation features great to simulate Squash & stretch, lagging, 3D. Also skew itself takes almost no more performance as its just one more matrix multiplication.

So yes above would be great. Especiall shear / skew - which I pure personally would clump as a base transform along with rotation and scaling. As its possible to reset it, then it will never trule "distort" the original shape. So its non destructive on the same way as rotate and scale.

Yes please! I've been doing a lot of Isometric work lately - being able to skew a nested artboard would make things so much easier

+1 to Skew, also for Illustration
