[Bf-committers] Muscle Rigging MVP implementation

[Yury Baranov]

Hi Patrice,

You're totally right - it's not physics-based, it's really a some shape
(not plane though) with weighting - it can be moved and deformed between
objects respecting their weights inside a modifier settings. For example if
sphere weight = 1 and torus weight = 0, then sphere is undeformed and torus
vertices are positioned on the sphere surface with all corresponding
deformations like bulge around collision.
