Dear All

Im having a great problem with bones in Max 5. Do you know how you are meant to keep a default position when skinning a character ie if you have already skinned it and then you access vertex sub object mode the character goes back to its default position without the bones in it. Well I have lost that position. Is there any way to reset its position so that it does not go back to the default, as I am trying to add an extra bone in its jaw and when I select the verticies that it should affect they fly away to where the model was originally without the skin modifier.
I hope Im making my self clear

Thanx

You should set your character up so that the skin pose of your bones fits into the default (pre-deformation) shape of your mesh. Then you will avoid this problem.

Do you do this by going into skin pose mode and then moving all the bones around until you have your default pose, or what...?

Look for the "Always Deform" Checkbox in the "Advanced Params" Rollout of the Skin-Modifier.
If you uncheck it, you can move the bones without effecting the Vertices

you can set a skin pose and start animating so if you find deformation errors you can switch back to it and correct it..
