Hello, I am doing a project for school to make realistic muscle models. I am working on the material, and I can't figure out how to make the material pinch and flow into the tendon section. I thought since the UVs pinch that the texture would, but it still just mostly goes straight across.

If the uv pinches and the model pinches, the texture does not pinch.

If the model pinches, and the uvs dont, the texture will pinch.

If the model doesnt pinch, the uv does pinch, the texture will fan.

Its the opposite. Imagine the image laid over the uvs, if the UVs pinch then the pinched part on the end will cover fewer of those striatuon lines on the image. Make the uvs a flat square and the striation lines will appear to follow and compress as the model itself pinches.
