Survey for Bachelor work - Please help

Hello everyone.

I'm working on my Bachelor thesis and would kindly ask you to help me out with a lil survey.
My Bachelor Thesis is about the profitability of Muscle Simulation in 3D Animation.
You just need to answere this shortly and i would thank you a lot! I really appreciate every single help! It would mean a lot to me.

How much time (hours) do you need to model a human body a) just the body, without the head b) the whole body with the head ?
How much time do you need to Rig this body and skin it?

If you ever used Muscle simulation :
How long did you need to set up a muscle system for this body?

If you worked with blendshape for a better result: How long did you work on those until everything worked?

I think quite a bit of this will come down to using a base mesh or not. Are you talking about high resolution sculpting? As for the rigging side of things I can rig and skin the body in about 45 minutes for a standard biped. Are you taking into account facial rigging as well? What about twist joints for animation? Muscles are another hour. The corrective poses come in at about 2 more hours due to tweaking. I push back and forth between ZBrush for the blendshapes given the toolset is better.

if you are looking for a quote, i'd suggest two days for modeling. 2 days for rigging with muscles and a day for sim and cleanup.
