A full-body muscle rig for a humanoid character. 64 fusiform muscles are placed according to anatomy. The muscles are created using Muskeelar, a Maya plugin written to create muscles that can be exported into game engines for real-time muscle dynamics simulation and skin deformation.

As only fusiform muscles are available in the system, sheet-like muscles have to be approximated using several fusiform shapes. However, deformation of the skin can still be done with no problems.

I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both tech and art. My life evolves round VFX, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks / sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming, including fluid sims, muscles, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in VFX.
I was interviewed by The Straits Times in May 2014 for my VFX work in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
