  • Added: Restoring the bones list position after list update (if possible).
  • Fixed: updating values didn\'t work sometimes due to precision issues.

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.

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)

1- place your mesh, place your bones and etc...
2- select the bons/objects you want to be involved in skin
3- run the script(via hotkey or quad menue etc.) and click on your mesh(it doesn't need skin to be applied )
