gregjenings Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Could someone please advise on how to achieve the fluid motion seen in Ziva muscles within Houdini? I've attached a video demonstrating Ziva muscles sliding smoothly while maintaining volume. However, in Houdini, the muscles don't slide smoothly, lose volume, and develop wrinkles. I've attempted to implement sliding constraints between muscles, but this only exacerbates the issue with more wrinkles and vibrations. How can I resolve this? Currently, I'm using sliding constraints between muscles and bones, but when applied to the tissue mesh, it lacks detail regardless of mesh tightness. In contrast, Ziva muscles display all details effortlessly without any adjustments to tissue settings. How can I replicate this fluid motion in Houdini's muscles?

ryew Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Not something I've ever looked into, but might be worth checking out the H19 muscle setups SideFX has posted on their site if you haven't already - one looks to be FEM and the other Velllum https://www.sidefx.com/contentlibrary/muscle-and-tissue/ https://www.sidefx.com/contentlibrary/muscle-target-shape/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjenings Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 @ryewThank you for your suggestion. However, I've already gone through these links, and unfortunately, the issue I'm encountering doesn't seem to have a solution within those resources.
