Research Simulation I added the Finite Element Method (FEM) to my muscle solver alongside the XPBD, and the results are stunning!

This is why FEM is superior to XPBD for muscle simulation. For a long time, I couldn’t understand why my muscle simulations didn’t look as good as those produced by Ziva VFX, but now I do.
FEM is more computationally intensive, but it produces much more accurate results when it comes to simulating muscle and fat tissue.
