English term or phrase: bulge
For some animations, simply attaching the skin and correcting its vertex assignments results in an animated skin you can use in final renderings. For other animations, you might need to give the skin more realistic movement: for example, muscles that bulge. Bulges change the skin's profile to simulate bulging muscles. You create the bulge by establishing bulge angles, relationships between cross-sectional slices of the skin and specific poses of the skeleton joint. Imagine a cross section to be a slice through the skin's mesh, perpendicular to the link. By making changes to cross sections, you in turn distort the shape of the mesh. Bulges in your character can be constructed by associating certain poses with related changes to the cross sections, in other words by defining bulge angles.

Explanation:
Several instances of the term bulge are found. In bulge muscles, we have a verb, and therefore building muscles, criar músculos in Portuguese, is the best choice.
In bulges, we perhaps have a machine instruction, a word on a software interface, and therefore we have bulges itself, with no translation.
In You create the bulge, we have a noun, and therefore Você cria a massa would be the best choice in Portuguese.
As I keep on saying (see http://www.amazon.com/Translation-Interpretation-Marcia-R-Pi... it all depends on context: We cannot ever be good translators if we neglect context.
