Adding Maya muscles to shoulder - Few questions

#1

Heya CGTalkers…

I have one character that is skinless, meaning the skin is not visible and all the muscles have to be visible while the character moves. I have decided to fill the whole body with mayaMuscles.

I have one proglem though (Or i am missing something). I added 3 Maya muscles to the shoulder Front, Side and back.
I’m using the Muscle Creator (Not the builder).

Now what i need to be able to do it so add multiple poses for the muscles.

Example: Front shoulder is in state Squash when the arm raises to the front, stretch state is when the arm raise to the back, all cool, but what i want is, to be able to setUp another state when the arm rises to the side. So is there some way to add more states than the squash and stretch one? Or is there some tool where i can add more corrective poses to the muscle?

Thanks

This is kinda unrelated to the to the topic…but may i ask why are you using the muscle creator instead of muscle builder? because im using the muscle builder and there seems to be no problem with setting the squash and stretch…(i apologize if the question is kinda noob, im kinda new with maya muscle as well).
