Hi, definitely looking better. Great to see your progress using Ziva!
What I'm still not seeing that I'd love to see is nice "local" motion happening on larger muscle groups. They are moving but kind of appear to be hinging at the ends, rather than compressing/stretching/locally jiggling. By "local motion" I mean some parts of the muscle moving at different rates to other parts. I think this is what is making the character feel stiff, and not as organic or fleshy as it could be.
You mentioned that you increased the solver scale, and loosened up the attachments. Did you experiment with restoring the densities and Young's modulus to the original values?
Other stuff:
- I would say the deltoids appear to be separating a lot / not compressing (or stretching)
- The rectusfemoris and surrounding muscles appear to be buckling quite a lot, suggesting to me that the firing isn't quite working.
Once again, great to see your progress and apologies if I'm sounding extra critical, I just think we can get to a really great place with this character as the source material is so good, and you've done a lot of great work with the muscle/skeleton model etc.
Talk soon!
