Improve muscles on male ZOIs naturally

Muscles look good on male ZOIs as of now, but it would be nice to see a more noticeable difference after working out regarding arms, legs and stomach, similar to how The Rock, John Cena, or Mark Wahlberg look. It also would be nice to see a more noticeable difference if you don’t work out regularly, i.e., every day or every other day. P.S. would be nice to have an option to do sit-ups.

Yeah the muscular build need more volume at higher levels.
Also they should require more training to maintain (you need to keep the effort or they should drop more quickly the more muscular you are !)

I agree with you

+1 they’re missing “the pump” from working out, the volume should not fade a lot but just increase a little after working out, maybe a texture showing more definition / veins popping after a workout for some hours after working out. This would only take effect at max physique level (the one that controls the body sliders).

Also would be amazing if zois & clothing became noticeable sweaty while working out to bring more realism to it. Maybe need laundry & shower after working out for long hours (not just one exercise, that’d be annoying but if your Zoi works out for 5+ hours then the laundry would be required & shower).

Yes, thank you for adding this, I forgot to… lol. But I agree with you.

I’d like to kindly take advantage of this topic to add a couple of things about male zoi.

  1. Here in the photo the gluteal muscles are set to maximum with the slider, yet it’s still quite flat. For female zoi we can have much more prominent glutes, why not for males? Just as not all females have a big butt, not all males have a flat one.

  1. I believe the male body should be able to be adjusted like this via the slider:

Wouldn’t the sliders make the muscles look less natural or make them look better after working out naturally?

I’m sorry, but the Italian translation isn’t very good and so I can’t understand your question well :sad_but_relieved_face:

@Samuriko Can you answer?

not sure.

He’s worried that the muscle mass could look unnatural with the slider or something ?

@SherazadeSaysCactus didn’t understand my question due to not translating correctly. My question is/was: Wouldn’t the sliders make the muscles look less natural or make them look better after working out naturally?

I’ll try to answer your question even though I’m still not sure I understood correctly, so bear with me :joy:

I think your idea of improving musculature in a more accurate way than now through training is valid, but I also think they should give us the ability to set it better than now through the slider (see my example of the male body). And yes, surely if we had more freedom thanks to the slider, some zoi could come out with body parts that are not well proportioned, but after all it’s realistic that some zoi are disproportionate

Agree with you.

Oh you hit the nail on the head with the hip, it’s so freaking annoying that the hip goes outwards on males. That doesn’t happen IRL. I notice it every time I max out the butt slider. Looks super unnatural.

When the character, like the one in the photo, is slim and muscular, that part is anatomically incorrect. I could understand it on a different body type, which is why I would like to be able to adjust it with a slider :folded_hands:

A simple fix would be adding manual adjustment of that section of the body.

I also wish we could have bigger pecs and abs (and an option for more definition. Currently Zois don’t seem to have veins at all and that bugs me considering they’re metahumans.

These are the kind of bodies I’d like to achieve in game for men:

The “not too much” defined body:

The bodybuilder build with vascularity and bigger frame, notice the arms, the forearms, the v-line, the veins on biceps, etc, that’s just human anatomy and currently Zois are flat.

Wish InZoi will implement the muscle system Unreal Engine has been working on!!! That’d be sick!
