here is a smol test scene.

you can do strange shockwaves with it. like if crag was moveing at supersonic speeds shot in slomo…

verlet integration is basically vellum and all that stuff.

made some tiny changes to the MMuscle hda. i had moved things around and removing control points was not reflected in the viewport the way it was supposed to.

Here is a simple test scene and the HDA:s needed. It would be awesome if you tried it out. Would love to hear what yall think.

the attached scene uses the muscle layering feature to let you parent one muscle to the surface of another.

Fine, I’ll do it myself.
HDA version with pythonstate UI widgets. Also on the github

play with my clothoid bend modifier!

i suppose someone could take the pain and make the bend pythonstate interface with it and make an HDA.

Hehe I’ll get right on that

here’s the hip. it’s pretty basic and not even technically a solver. It’s a surfacedist lookup from all points to a source group of points (the black rectangle in the beginning). Then I’m animating the visualization range of the distance value. Increase the grid density / decrease the mountain element size for more tendrils. If there’s a way to speedup that surface calculation, this should run even faster.
