This is a first step towards my goal of creating muscle simulation in Blender. Even tho a realistic muscle sim is going to be much more complex, the basic tools are in use in this simple example. Cloth simulation, Soft Body, and transferring these simulated motions to the final character.

Introducing, the new Rigify course from CGDive: *Modular Face Rigging with Rigify*
Have you ever wanted to go beyond the pre-built face rig in Rigify (which is nice but also has many flaws)?
Then you need to learn the modular Rigify face system which was added in Blender 3.0.
Unfortunately, learning resources about it are almost non-existent.
The official Manual... is a train-wreck. To whoever wrote it, I am sorry but it is. :/
So, if you want to learn how to use it, this new course is the way to go!
