Make your rigs more realistic and create mighty muscle systems 

The Blender Muscle Tools Addon gives you the ability to create muscles in Blender for creating more realistic animations and renderings. In the Demo Video you can see how well this system works. You can convert every Mesh into a muscle and bind it to your character. Jiggle options and Shape changes are also available. (Jiggle is only visible, while you playback the timeline)

What are muscles for and why are they useful ?

Muscles play an important role in the world of rigging and character animation. They are used to hold volume in certain and perhaps critical areas of your character and simulate bulges for example in the arms. For example take a look at your arm and angle your arm to. Now do the same in blender with your rigged character You can see that something is different to your rigged characters arm. This is because of your muscles. The Add On helps to visualize these skin deformations and volume holdings.
