Ok this is probably a long shot but.......

I think ive got a way to make bones and muscles. When the bones move the muscles move correctly, expanding and contracting.

However is there a way in Maya to have a 'skin', to have a layer of skin that just sits ontop of the muscles so when the muscles mov the skin just moves ontop?

Is that possible in default Maya, or would i need a million pound program :)

Thanx

/me trawls the search archives...

KFC did something similar for a this page (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4379challenge a while ago. It's a stunning piece of work, which he built up starting with bones & muscle, then placing skin on top.

However...I seem to remember he was doing it for the company he works at, which was working on some sort of muscle system. Take a look through the thread & see if you can find anything.

It looks like his server is down ATM, so no images. I think [url=http://www.wd2.org/kfc/page_01.htm) will probably have it all on, once its back up.
