ok soo heres my problem
i've created a 3 joint chain then converted that to a muscle/bone then made a muscle between the first joint and the second joint.. and the muscle interacts right just between the joints or muscle/bone thing..haha.. i sound like a noob.. but then i create a poly cube and extrude it along the joint chain and smooth it twice.. then i apply a muscle skin deformer to the cube.. then select the muscle and the joints and use the connect selected muscle objects action.. and the poly cube which is acting as a skin doesnt interact with the muscle.. i have been working on this all day and i've gotten it to work twice but now it wont work ... please somebody save me from this muscle crisis!!! thank you..
