Luiz Elias has released Mush3D 3.0, the latest update to his GPU-based tool for editing and enhancing animation caches directly in production workflows.
The update introduces a tetrahedral deformation solver designed to simulate soft-tissue motion like muscle and skin behavior, bringing more physically grounded secondary motion into shot-based sculpting workflows. It also adds a Pose Trainer, allowing artists to learn corrective deformations from example poses and automatically apply them across an entire animation cache.
Alongside its existing brush-based sculpting and deformation tools, Mush3D continues to position itself as a hybrid solution for fixing, polishing, and enhancing animation without rebuilding rigs or running full simulation setups.
A focused but powerful upgrade for character TDs and CFX artists working on final-pixel animation cleanup and deformation work.

It will be interesting to see how the social feed aspect will expand there. The "community feed" is marked as "coming soon".
Even if you are not using CAI, CharacterFX is a nice tool to try.

This obviously isn't groundbreaking but as someone who very rarely does 3D animation, and never did any real characterFX this was an amazing learning opportunity. And the constraint of doing everything in a single day really pushed me to make this better to use each time

ソニックがついに全米公開！まだ見てないけど。VE研での最初の仕事、新ソニだったなー。そういえば、ソニック自体のリグを組んだことはあまりないや。今回CharacterFXでクレジットされるのは初、いつもやってるけどRigの方にリストされるのよね。
