Automatic quality rig for all lovers of animation on 3ds Max !

WHY ?

Maya already has a wide selection of quality rigs, but 3ds Max doesn't.

So for the animation fans looking for a quality rig for 3ds Max, without any notion of rigging required, LH | Auto-rig, an automated rig, was developed. Powerful, it works with all kinds of characters (biped, quadruped or others), with a UI for animating as well as other animation scripts.

OPERATIONS :

Complete assistance to skin any 3ds Max rig !

LH | Auto-Skin will automate all the heavy skinning, leaving only finition to make manuelly, or even, in somes cases, skinning will not need editing! To make this operation, the tool will generate a "sliced" character/object, animators will be able to use this low character/object to animate more faster!

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)
