VorleX Muscle System 2.01 PROAuthor: kosyan
VorleX is a toolset for setting up a full body muscle rig. With VorleX 3.0 still in development, VorleX 2.01 has been made available for free. Have a look at the VorleX Muscle System Short Reel for a preview of the upcoming version 3.0 — for videos demonstrating Version 2.01, see the VorleX group on vimeo.

From the si-community thread linked below: The system is far superior to other similar products. The features and functions: Simple construction Classic control by means of 3 nulls Easy setup Incredible performance Realistic optimized dynamics The ability of symmetric duplication Unique skinning algorithm Skin sliding effect

Update:
1.Fixed problem with installation on Windows7.
2.Now English version of the plug-in is available to download (see the top of this post).
Adhering to the SI ideology, we have supplied the plugin with the detailed documentation. You can call it from the Softimage Help menu.

That is a nice goal, but Face Robot already exists within Softimage, and that does a pretty nice job already with facial gestures. What about just focusing on a full-body muscle rig? Just a thought/suggestion.
You can't attach the FR rig to a normal rig thus is pretty useless for animating the face with the poses of the character in a shot. Not to mention I don't think you have the fine grained control over the muscles and muscle shapes in the FR setup either.

Hi Kosyan

would love to test out the full power of your plugin with an inhouse project we're working on, we have both facial and body rigging tools that might benefits from your muscle system.
Thanks

The above post deserves to live on its own as a stand-alone, testimony to the greatness of this plugin, so no edit from me.
So where is the home/buy page?
Also, buying a license will ensure how many updates (or bug fixes versions, as I'm sure they are there somewhere)?

For now you can purchase the Essentials version via email kosyyan@mail.ru.
Bug fixes will be for free, of course. Also you can freely update the plug-in with optional scripts and features if they appear.

Pro version will be available soon (at an additional cost).

Salute!
You should not have to worry. The work is going on. There are some difficulties, but they are surmountable. For now you can purchase VorleX Muscles Version 1.0 via email: kosyyan@mail.ru. The new version comes out soon.
Any questions you can ask here or in PM (or by email above).

Currently two key features of the new Pro version already implemented. These are the Mid Control Element and the Muscle/Obstacle Collision tool.
The new features are implemented as additional options to maintain versions continuity. You can still use the muscle system in common manner, in Version 1.0 style.
