3ds max related: Skin, Bones and Linked XForms

[ssalo]

Well, I ended up disabling the Skin and then using Point Cache modifier to write his facial animations to disk and then disabling all the Linked XForms and playing back the facial animation from cache with Skin. Worked OK. Next time I'm going to use skin for the face also though. Too bad it hasn't got Use Edge Distance feature like in Mesh Select.

You make same mistake as baboon.

I R Baboon.

Dude, remove the xform, clone your mesh that has the skin. Then clone as many as you wish, only have yer main animateable character.

Do the facial animations, xform on the other identical models, and use a morpher target under the skin modeifier in the stack.

If i wuz unclear, remember, morpher targets
