Surgery / Incision Animation
I was wondering if people could help me decide what is the best way to animate cutting skin with a scalpel. Basically I just want to make an animation of a scalpel making an incision. What would I use and how would I animate the skin cutting open? I was thinking of simply putting two planes side by side and opening them up on one side with the CVs. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Not totally relevant to your problem, but I would think you could use something along the same lines.
I'm sure there are better and easier ways of doing it, but as I'm a newbie, I don't know. Somebody who has more experience with Maya will probably have a better suggestion.
Good luck with it, anyway.
