The best way is sub poly displacement You need Advanced render module though. If you have AR its the last option in the material editor.
If that wont work for you model it with a hyper nurbs and use weighting to get the right curves.here is an example. I have not done any weighting to the edges.

You can key frame the material.

There are a few options depending what you plan on doing inside the liver.
Are you creating a lid that opens and closes or are you fading some of it away(and back). Are you creating a window to look into it…and so on.
Simply put yea select polys, points or edges and press backspace. If you Dont do it in point mode be sure to run an OPTIMIZE command while in point mode after to get rid of all the extra points.I generally select all my points, make a duplicate of the object (hide it) and delete the points then I invert the selection on the other object (minus 1 row) and delete that way you have the lid and the box…or what ever.
You could do this with a boole…but that always turns into a pain later.
You could animate the alpha in the material.
or or or…

Brian,
I sat here thinking I should use splines and it just did not click to use a loft nurbs… its always so simple when some one else makes it first. As always its nice to pick apart your files. Thanks.

Hmm, not sure what your looking for. I think to get that pic you posted I would simply animate a gradiant in the material. Although this example is not materials….
This one is pretty sloppy but I didnt use any iterators so you can see what I did.

Under file “save project” you will get a file that has all your textures and stuff. Open that on your PC and have fun.

One piece of geometry is great to rig. I would start with this series of tutorials. He uses CD tools but its easy to do with Mocca too. I think its the best tutorials for rigging due to the way he explains everything.

Getting pyro cluster to react well with objects is tough. You an start by adding deflectors. But the volume of the pyro cluster is not going to see that so you will have to adjust the deflectors location with trial and error.
There are other avenues of creating smoke…but its hard to get the volume of pyro cluster.
Here is a starter file with a couple deflectors.

Drag and drop the spline on to the the Extrude nurbs in the object manager (top right corner)
