Figure 7.76 Create a ZSphere skeleton inside the mesh.

5. When you are building the ZSphere rig, there are some things you can do to get a bet-
   ter bind. In the shoulder area, add an extra ZSphere (Figure 7.77). Each ZSphere you
   add will be a joint in the final rig. This extra ZSphere will help take the place of the
   clavicles, making it easier to relax and raise the shoulders. You may also need to add a
   Zsphere branch off the neck toward the chin. This will help capture the vertices of the
   lower jaw, keeping the face from deforming when the neck is rotated (Figure 7.78)
