Think that Wishbonakobi (think thats his user name, sorry if it isnt) uses it for his models.

If its been taken over by autodesk give your reseller a shout.

Wishbonakobi isn´t his username but nevermind, I´ll try cMuscle soon.

this btw is the model I am about to rigg. It is an old model from about one year ago where you guys helped me alot with rigging issues. now, since I do realtime projects only I haven´t touched riggs or animation stuff since then. but this hiRes things is what it all started with and what I am interested in the most. I´d like to finally do my first short film, but next thing would be texturing her (orks! I hate texturing XD).

model is about 24k polys without dress and stuff which needs to be done soon - I want to try mayaNucleus finally. the face still sux. hope I can bring some updates next days.

I use Cmusclesystem. It's a great muscle/skin system. It had a couple of minor bugs in it that its creator, Michael Comet, always helped me to fix but I think now that Autodesk has it, their team will probably iron all of the bugs out and make it work a little bit smoother. since I started using Cmusclesystem, I stopped using Maya's skin deformer.

this is one lazy fat cat! XD

I very hope so. dont know the plugin and it´s bugs but autodesk usually implements the "program is crashing and I dont know why"-feature at first. might be I am the only one who thinks this way but I cursed 3dsmax a lot user added image hope everything is working out well with the muscle plugin.

btw, why has autodesk to buy each and everything what´s on the market..? (just a rethoric question)

thx for the info dude!
