3dsmax has linear vertex blending for skinning by default, this causes a lot of artifact during bones rotation, especially
the classic candywrap effect. Dual Quaternion skinning mantains volume a lot better, BUT it cannot be used alone as general solution. In some situations you still would like to mantain linear skinning AND with XrayBlendSkin YOU CAN!
You can even paint the amount of Dual Quaternions influence.
Features:
- Dual quaternion skinning to avoid candy wrap artifacts
- Interactive bind between linear and dual quaternions.
- Paint blending

The facial animation solution powering over 150 triple-A game titles is now being sold as an affordable line of plugins for several popular Autodesk animation packages, including 3ds Max. For $199, the same technology driving blockbuster video game characters is available to animators on a shoestring budget.

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew the ScriptSpot forums have been reorganized (the way they should have been in the first place)!

The new forum structure allowed for the addition of two areas that I am excited to announce - a Freelance area and a Scripts Wanted area! ... A key component of the freelance area is the use of the user profile "contact" feature. This can be enabled in your user profiles towards the bottom where there is a checkbox for "personal contact form" - make sure to enable it. Alternatively, you're welcome to post your email address publicly if you'd rather...

From the IllusionCatalyst site:

IllusionCatalyst is a brand new set of instruments designed to increase artistic expression and productivity in Autodesk 3ds Max.

IC.Shape: Instruments for organic polygonal modeling. Draw and erase mesh edges like tracing lines with a pencil on paper, then deform and relax the surface like shaping clay by hands.

IC.Face: Instruments for facial rigging and animation. Bring characters to life letting them express every emotion and mood with a full range of controllers. No more gummy faces allowed.

IC.Mime: Instruments for keyframing and animation. Take a step and get the other one for free, control the flow of the action and each pose more easily. Forget about motion brakes. 

...

Visit the IllusionCatalyst website for detailed screenshots, feature breakdown and to download the scripts.
