Otis Solver Tissue Jan. 23, 2026, 6:01 a.m.

Hi,

I'm setting up a muscle sim for a human and I’m trying to achieve more realistic fat/tissue sliding over muscles. I used the muscles transfer recipe to adapt Otto to the character, ande the muscles and tissue recipe as a base for my sim.

At the moment, the simulation is stable, but the tissue tends to feel too “attached” to the muscles, behaving more like skinned geometry rather than a layer of soft mass that can shear and slide naturally.

My questions are:

-How much the resolution of the tissue affects the sim? My tissue resolution (after the solidify) is roughly half of otto's.

-What are the best practices to let the tissue behave more like fat (shearing and sliding) rather than following muscles rigidly?

-How do you typically balance Solid Layer stiffness vs Muscle Attachment stiffness to encourage sliding without jitter?
