Requirement

Simulate complex muscle movements to be applied in Sports Physiology, Dentistry etc.

Benefits

• Physiologists, Dentists can visualize the muscle movements and plan effective treatment methodologies.
• An archive of such rigs may be used as teaching aids or virtual Anatomy Lab.

Solution

Modeled and Animated Muscle movements using Maya Muscle Plug-ins.

Details

The software address the following challenges in muscle animation:

• Muscle deform non uniformly along its volume.
• Muscles are usually stitched to bones causing more deformation in areas away from the bones.
• Takes care of muscle sliding over the bone and muscle to muscle sliding.
• Maya rigs of muscle bone interaction available as a service for teaching aid.
