Maya & Ziva plugin

There is two ways how to implement ziva into your workflow.

1. Get a model with a bones and muscle layer and recreate logic for Muscle & Skin & fat tissue
(longer and from scratch)
2. Reuse ziva files like MR.Ink or Zeke to transfer muscles & skin & fat on your character

I picked option Two bcs of time and humman resources and asset resources

Workflow:
1, get Target Mesh with a rig
2. Pick a file with Mr.Ink (hummanoid) or Zeke (cat) which will be better for transfering and closer to your target asset
3. Open Bone file of Example (mr ink) . Try to fit them by scaling example and export the latest layer of example (we will use wrap this mesh on our target)
4. Open 3D wrap, Zwrap or different way to change the example mesh shape into our target mesh shape (both will have same topology just a different shape. I advice to use obj for exporting bcs of vertex IDs.) Check: blendshape deform should be working between them
5. Import your wraped Target mesh into Bone example file. Select Example shape as first mesh then your target mesh shape and then all Bones that you wanna warp. Then use one of the warps in Ziva tab, can be even combination of harmonic warp and the second one.
6. You should have now a all bones of example adjusted and warped on your target shape (mby there will be needed some fixing, you can controll this warp in atrribut editor, we will do the same for muscle and fat).
7. Import your Target shape with warped bones into muscle file. Combine it into one mesh and in same order combine examples shape and bones.
8. Frstly select a combined example shape with bones, like a second your mesh with a bones and then select all muscles and use ziva warp again (result: muscles should be fiting on your bones and now you should have your target shape with muscles and bones, Export it).
10. Open fat example, import combined meshes from prev step. Select a example then your mesh, then Fat layer of example and use warp.
9. Export bone Ziva Solver from Bone example throught Ziva tab, muscle solver from Muscle file and Fat solver from Fat file.
