With all of those excess poles, it sounds like a lot of work to correct. I think that these figures might be made more for dressing in cloths than for lying around the pool or frolicking at the nude beach.
*"On the torso there are those three (actually 4 but you only see 3) little finger muscles that flow back into the lats (I have forgotten what they are called.)"
I believe you are referring to the Serratus anterior muscle. Looking in my anatomy atlas, there are five bands to the Serratus muscle and they correspond to underlying ribs. The top band and the bottom band mostly underlie other muscles. So, depending on muscular development, and how lean a person is, one will see the middle three of these bands, or maybe even a little bit of the bottom band. I think the top band is too high in the armpit, and looks too much like part of the Pectoral major muscle to try and model it.
Whats with individually rigging each joint of all the toes? I can imagine the time and effort it took to do that, but I cannot imagine anyone doing an animation of Alyson playing the piano with those toes. To realistically pose a chimpanzie one would need all the toes jointed, but there is very little use for so much flexability in the toes of these models.
Have you had a chance to try out the new joint rigging features?
