Here is something which I am working on from some time with Joe Alter ,its still in progress but thought is good for sharing.  LBrush is a plugin for Maya which  really do magical stuff, I literally mean MAGIC . From the time I have started using it my mind is fully blown by its versatility in pipeline. The major module of it PSD (Pose Space Deformation) take care of every rigger bad dream which is the Ugly Deformation.   The best part is all this thing which lbrush do can be done on a high subdivision level which mean you can sculpt even the detail like vein with full control over it, Lbrush handle these subdivision AWSUMLY. Do check the LBrush site for more detail on it I am kinda less in words to describe its AWSUMNESS :D.

Will keep on updating about it.
