Making progress with the muscle sim and debugging the whole character system, no more strange jittering flesh from points being stretched beyond their limit and more control using a 2nd pass of modifiers for blinking and expressions, and tightening the bits up.
Taking a while because the entire process has to be repeated until the specific problems are fixed. Also muscle positioning is a work in progress as some muscles tend to slide over eachother and bulge in places they shouldn't, but it's overall way better than when we first delved into muscle sims.
As always, thanks so much for the support! Wouldn't be anywhere near this step if it weren't for you! <3
