AK-BonesPro to Skin

10 votes

as we all know bonesPro is incredibly fast vs skin that is very safe, plus after all BP is a plugin and maybe sometime digimation guys decide to donot update it for upper max versions...so it will be a good idea to be able to convert BP data to skin. So this script does it for you, I hope you like it.
It applies skin modifier right after BP and keeps any other modifiers obove it; also it dissables BP but keeps it for you.If you have a dense mesh it will be slow but for modeles under 1500 vertices it works fast.

Auto mesh Skinning

13 votes


This script is for fast and accurate mesh skinning, but it won't generate skin for production ready. There will by always something to correct weights.

It's very simple all You have to do to set slice boxes. Just watch video and everything should be clear.

In version 0.6 there is simple automatic mirroring made. The rigg should be set in x=0 position.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

------------ version 0.7 -----------

- Script didn't work with bones which had space in names - Not any more :]

Autoweight - Automatic skinning tool for 3ds Max

20 votes

Autoweight is a script designed for 3D Studio Max helping you speeding up the skinning process of characters and machines.
You define special polygon regions and the script finds the appropriate bones, calculates the appropriate skin-vertices and sets up smooth transitions between those regions.

There are also Youtube video tutorials explaining the script step-by-step.

The new version 1.0 comes with an installer so you don't need to hassle around with the mzp-stuff anymore.

DeltaMushToSkin

DeltaMush to Skin is a c++ 3ds Max modifier which smooths deformations while preserving details with "converting" to Skin feature - the plugin solves Skin weights matched as close as possible to the DeltaMush result. It enables the user to export such rigg to the game engine like Unity, Unreal etc. The whole process is incredibly fast thanks to multithreaded optimization.

DQ skinning Copier

In previous max versions like max 2016,
when you save the envelopes, it doesn't save the Dual quaternions weights.
Which is a pain when you need to transfer skinning from a model to another for whatever reasons.
The thing is I do quite a lot of rigging and I faced this problem more than once with no out of the box solution.
And I needed to transfer only the DQ weights, not the other envelopes.

So here is a super simple script to do that.

How it works :
1 : select the model which has the DQ weights set. (the skin has to be the first modifier)
