Muscle Strand Tools
This tool objective is to help the rigging artist in the skinning Envelope Step, permitting them to set the muscle envelopes by group (a CAT muscle object is composed by 7 strands be default), or individually.
The skinning process can quickly be a hassle when a lot of deformers are involved, for example when you start using CAT muscle strands.
The starting step which consist in setting up the envelopes is a nightmare, because of the poor selection tools of the skin modifier, and a complete mess in the displayed informations (a huge number of envelopes that overlap).
This tool objective is to help the rigging artist in this specific step, permitting them to set the muscle envelopes by group (a CAT muscle object is composed by 7 strands be default), or individually. The envelope informations display is simplified, and is drawn over the viewport using redraw callbacks.
