While covering Cinema 4D Deformers for his class, CyBear decided to expand on one deformer in particular —The Correction Deformer.

use a rig to have a bicep grow when a arm is bended

The Correction Deformer in Cinema 4D allows you to make modifications to a mesh on a point level, and then blend between the modifications by way of values. This makes it ideal for creating corrective shapes in a character rig, which is where the deformer derives its name.

Corrective shapes are important in any type of animation that requires deformation. You really need to get in there and design how the deformation will look, and the correction deformer in C4D is a really easy way to do that.

In this example, CyBear uses the deformer to have an arm’s bicep muscle bulge when the arm bends., showing how easy it can be to set up.
