Skin Depression Indention Help

JamesDeal1982

Your skin is fine. Don’t be depressed.

I actually just want to know how to “indent” skin where it’s being pressed. For example, actor 01 pokes actor 02 in the belly. I want the belly to depress or “indent”. And that’s it. I’m sure this is easy but I can’t figure it out.

Research smoothing modifier. For best results, use an invisible primitive like a sphere rather than the actual figure to make the indentation, so you have more control over exactly how the indentation appears.

You can also try a dForm or Push Modifier witha weight map to cotnrol the aea of effect - however, all of these are limited by the resolution of the base mesh: you can move only the base vertices, where the strong lines cross if you look at the mdoel in a wire mode.
