In-Depth Information
If you create proper edges that follow the flow from the
chest to the shoulder, you will get very realistic and proper
deformation in your character.
In Figure 16-2, our male model has the correct edge loops
showing the pectoral-deltoid connection. If you lift the arm,
you can see how the bottom of the chest flows up into the
shoulder intentionally. You can also see how accurately it
deforms when moved. If you tried to do the same rotations
with the extruded arm character in Figure 16-1, it would
never deform properly and would not look at all natural.
