Modeling of the muscles like lumbricals

Post by Jack Zhao » Tue Aug 15, 2017 6:47 pm

Dear All:
During modeling of the foot muscles, one obstacle emerges:
As shown in the image below, how to model the lumbricals muscle (the cyan blue one) with its origins on another muscle (not bone) ?

Thanks a lot!
Regards
Jack

Hi Jack,

It shouldn't matter where the muscles origin/insertion is , whether on muscle or bone. As long as you know the position of the muscle point (origin/insertion) relative to the underlying bone. You can set the origin/insertion of the muscle to lie on top of another muscle.

Hope that helps

Bryce
