Riging Showreel - Muscle Simulation

[MrTheedarkhorse]

Impressive

[chillincello]

Dudde, that is thee best muscle ive seen, great work man!xD

[Potatinized]

like the rig n model. nice topo to go along with the muscles.. but very disturbing camera animation =P

[Suprem3Gamer]

wish if I had a bodu like that damn

[toonamifan]

Good work, annoying camera

[MusartJD]

Wonderful work and nice sculpt, how did you get the muscle texture on your muscles? Whenever I use the maya muscle shader my model turns green but it doesn't show the red and white muscle texture that you have. Could you please explain how you got the muscle effect on your model.

[microTerminator2]

is the muscle maya muscle system a plug-in or does it come with?

[n2uke]

wow this is advanced work!

[ankushbhurke]

Nice work........... but at shoulder i think their is little bit pinch came at collar portion so i think u have to manege that... over all its grate work .

Thanks,

Ankush Bhurke

[adomyip]

@ankushbhurke thanks, I agree with u , let c if I have to to remodify it.

[Lumpiluk]

is this possible in blender without too much tweaking yet?

[heidaz]

looks great

whats the first song?

[StevXtreme]

Best muscle simulation I've seen to date, TBH.

[selcuk61]

oh i love your rig really. can you give me the model unrigged ?

[turnermic17]

why don't they implement this into games? Games like crysis where the suit simulates the muscle system would benifit and add to the imersion.

[kalimmortal]

that was awesome!!

thanx for sharin'....

[yaguinhobr]

fuck! how did you stole the creationism's software?

[tommix83]

Love your work. Just a little thing: stop your camera :)

[felipegonzalezweb]

OH SHIT! THATS FUCKING AMAZING!

[1987halu]

hi,adomyip,you get the shoulders to move so nicely!!and I I spent a lot of time to it,but still can not get right deformation,because the maya muscle just have 3 state:rest , squash,stretch. but the shoulder move a lot.you say do not use blendshape,how you solve it? I am from guangzhou ，thanks :)

[adomyip]

@1987halu u are right , there are only 3 state can be used in cMuscle. So what I did is , apply the stretch or squash to the most important pose, then find other ways to fix the others poses, maya muscle is a very limited system, u always have to make a choice. good luck~

[mimikawaii7386]

the deltoid and pectoral kinda look like they're connected too much but omg that's fucking epic, can't wait to learn and try

[adomyip]

@mimikawaii7386 thanks and good luck.

[Anime2D3D]

[jtrigging]

Hi there, I am a student in production at school and I'm a TA using cgmuscle, I was hoping you could help me with a problem - I have most of the system figured out but sometimes the system just wigs out and my muscle squashing/stretching occurs in the wrong places and that muscle node is now worthless and needs to be remade to get it working again. Any advise? Cheers

[adomyip]

@jtrigging sorry , I dont really get you , are you talking an other pugin 'cgmuscle'? Im using cMuscle so I dont know what problem you got. btw , I have never got the problem u said while using cMuscle, but my advise is , try to read the help/technical documents of the system and find out the reason, try difference ways to setup your muscles until It work properly. To be a good Rigger , you should also be a problem solver.

[bladerj]

what version of maya is this, is the muscle an addon or comes with it

[MjansAnimations]

@bladerj if you have maya 2011 or newer, the maya muscles come with it. If you have anything older it's a plugin you'll have to download. Hope that helps.

[bladerj]

@MjansAnimations Thanks for the reply !

[FilthyVirus]

Care to tell us more about how you did this?

I got 2 questions:

1) How did you do the self collision trick?

2) How does it work in real-time? Meaning, is it slow to use when animating?? Guessing from all the dynamics (skin sliding) it should;

Thanks

[adomyip]

@FilthyVirus

1, maya muscle have the self collision function already.

2, it always depends, how much buget u have , how detail u want . For this showreel , I dont care is it slow or not , i just wanna show the best shape I can do, and it actually petty slow ... with my 2 years old laptop :)

[picobf15]

amazing!

[adomyip]

@chovasie Thanks and good point! u really see what I did. I always say , the most important ability of a rigger is not how storng of your scripting, how many tools you know, how complicated setting you can make... but just how much can you see, once you can see what is good and what the shape should be, u can find the way to do it , even it may take time and hard.

may say too much, ha.

[clym3danimator]

How did you get the shoulders to move so nicely!! grrr nice work :) quick question: did you create your own muscle objects cos they don't look like the automatic maya ones..

[adomyip]

@clym3danimator Thanks. I just spent time on study what the shape should be , no quick way .

for ur question , I didn't develop any new muscle objects, all stuffs is come from maya default, but of cause I've did something to make it work better.

[danielbigaj]

wow great job, i'm working on rigging muscles for my final masters project at the moment, hope mine turns out as something i can compare to this

[adomyip]

@danielbigaj thanks and good luck~

[15Protech]

is this possible with 3ds max, cause i can use maya, and you have done some incredible good work here

[adomyip]

@15Protech thanks and i am not using 3dsmax so i dont really know, but i think there should are some plugin for doing this , u can google it~

[rajarigger]

Good Work......

[adomyip]

@rajarigger thanks~

[Giu3232]

Awesome work ;-) What's the name of the song? ^,^

[adomyip]

@Giu3232 thanks~ I have forgotten the name , just some free musics from internet.

[Giu3232]

Awesome work ;-) What's the name of the song? ^,^

[InfiniteRealities]

Very nice work.

[adomyip]

@InfiniteRealities thanks

[Dboi0422]

Did you use any Blendshapes to achieve this deformation?

[adomyip]

@Dboi0422 no blendshapes , all shapes is come from muscle.

[DonBurroni]

wonderful, great rigging

[adomyip]

@DonBurroni  thanks, can be better :)
