HBatch and Houdini both now take a -j command line option to specify the maximum number of threads. This will override the HOUDINI_MAXTHREADS option with the specified number, allowing one to control the amount of threading from the command line.

Added a "Muscle Scale" parameter to the Muscle Object/SOP. This allows you to control the overall scale of the muscle, without having to change each individual control handle scale.

Several parameters have been removed from the Muscle Object/SOP. Namely, the Muscle Profile options have been removed from muscles. Previously, it was necessary to specify the shape of each muscle using channels on these profile parameters. These parameters have now been removed since the Muscle Control Handle parameters provide a simpler way of modelling a muscle's shape. The "Center Group Name" parameter has also been removed from the Muscle, since this group no longer served any real purpose.

It is now possible to selectively choose which points the DeformMuscle SOP will inflate over the underlying muscle geometry. Under the Inflation tab of the DeformMuscle SOP there is now a parameter named "Points to Inflate". By choosing "Use Inflate Modifier Attribute" from this menu, you can specify specifically which points will be inflated using a paintable attribute. This attribute takes on values between 0 and 1, so that the positions of points can be smoothly blended between their uninflated (but still deformed) positions and their fully inflated positions.

In the SlideModifierPaint SOP (and Paint Sliding Modifier object level tool) there is now a parameter named "Attribute to Paint". This allows you to choose "Surface Sliding Modifier" which paints an attribute to control skin sliding (as it has in the past) and "Surface Inflation Modifier" which allows you to paint the inflation modifier required by the DeformMuscle SOP.
