Hi all,
Here again to ask my newbie questions about Blender. Is there a way to create realistic muscles? Or a plugin, perhaps? Take a look at the attached screenshot. This bent arm looks unrealistic, because the muscles aren’t flexing per se. Perhaps this can be fixed a little with constraints, I’m just asking if there is some plugin or something to simplify this process to make it look more realistic. Thanks, like always, for any info.
okay, now suppose I’m not yet after realistic muscles, but correct bone rotation and translations, with as few controls as needed:
-forearm can twist (y axis of bone) only about 90 degrees, rotate around z axis almost 180 degrees, and rotate around x axis should be locked.
-upperarm can twist (y axis of bone) about -90 to 90 degrees, rotate around it’s z axis from 135 (front in top view)back to -45(back in top view) degrees.
Then rotate around x axis(up down in front view) for about 90 degrees down to 3-45 degrees up (higher would use the shoulder to roll/rotate)
I want an IK controller for the entire arm, but still gain control for the direction the elbow faces with another controller, while maintaining the correct rotation limits. And a twist control for the fore- and upperarm, which is off course dependent to the elbows location. How do I set that up? all setups I’ve tried so far have failed.
