Flexors...

Hi Mat & all, I would like to submit my last (but incomplete) work (obviously in progress) to you because I need to understand something about animation... flexors in particular... these belows are some shots that shows simple movements with & without flexors... Why with flexors applied the polys are too bad instead to be too smooth?? Skeleton is wrong? the bind method (rigid) is wrong? this is making me crazy...
thanks a lot......user added image

You'll probably want to edit the membership of the joints so the shoulder doesn't affect those vertices.
