Muscles for Marion
If you have visited the publications page you will see that I wrote a review on a plugin for Maya called “cgMuscle”. I became very familiar with the plugin while I was testing it and I realized it would prove very useful for my characters.
After doing some pose tests with Marion, I realized I had to get smoother deformations in some areas, so I figured I could get those deformations with muscles. The cgMuscle skin deformer is not ready yet, so making a full muscle system would not be very practical. Being said this, you will understand why I decided to create only a few muscles for her. The image below shows what I have so far 
What’s so good about this system is that I will be able to simulate stuff such as breast and butt jiggle and muscle expansion, skin stretching and all that kind of “organic stuff”
