Hi, as I stated, I am using 3D studio max r3 at my school for a project. I have learned how to (by using net tutorials) make a simple bone hierachy (sp?), but how do I attach this to a model so when I move the bones, the model moves. I can't find a tutorial on this. If anyone could help...

Thanks,
Mark

Well, I think the boning prosesses in A:M and MAX are the same. You have to designate the control points to a certain bone. Try selecting the bone, and then using a group or lasso tool (or something similar) to highlight all of the conrol points for that bone.

Where can I find the "Skin" utility like what panel is it on? And also, do you know any tutorials on it, the one I tried, the tutorial had been deleted and I got a "NO PAGE TO DISPLAY" error, so I can't find it.

Thanks,
Mark

Okay, I got a tutorial for skin, but it's not working. I don't really understand it. I can show you my .max project file (I can upload it and you can download it) can you please tell me whats wrong if I do that? The address is:
http://members.aol.com/windywilly/flubber.max

if the link doesn't work, use FTP and goto members.aol.com/windywilly then download flubber.max

Please help...

Thanks,
Mark
