Breathing in and out, pulling belly in, flexing muscles...

depretmarc

Hi 

I am a newbie and I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question.

In my project I will have to highlight details such as pulling the charatcer belly in, lifting its chest up, stretching up, flexing some muscle, etc...

I am looking for ways to do this 

I have found the Alive series by SimonWM, which will be quite helpful - does anyone know if there are comparable other products? I assume it will work in DS 4.9 - do I need a special version of aniMate for this?

Also if I wanted to create some of my own, where would I start (I just need a couple of pointers)?

Thank you very much for your help!

For which figure? Most of the daz body moprh sest have an inhale morph, most of the figures have some kind of muscle morph pack and/or include some basic flexion morphs in the body morphs.

At the moment I am playing with Genesis 3 male and female, but I will probably use Victoria and Michael 4 eventually as there is an anatomy pack that will be very useful - but I am not sure yet this is a judicious choice!

I just came across the DFormer tool, which seems to be very promising too for some movements

These search results should get you started:

With the number of morphs available for gen 3 you should be able to do anything you want.  The gen 3 figures have much better materials and more morphs.  There is a muscle morph pack for gen 3 males and females.

Thanks! :-)

You'll need "Shape Shift" Add-on for that. Select your model, then in : 

Shaping / yourmodel / Waist

Use the Search filter to look for InOut

This will isolate morph controls for the abdomen and belly to simulate a breathing.
