Bulge Angle
In Physique, a bulge angle is a control that sets the limb angle where the bulge
will occur. Typically you first orient the limb, and then set the bulge angle.
After setting the bulge angle, you then deform the mesh to make it bulge.

Center of Mass (COM)
The root object of a biped. Transforming the center of mass moves the entire
biped. The center of mass can move outside of the biped body; for example,
moving the center of mass forward can help simulate lifting a heavy object.
The center of mass uses three animation tracks to animate the biped. Two of
these tracks, Body Vertical and Body Horizontal, contain
biped dynamics on
