Hi guys

I have a working rigged character using biped, but when I start making keyframes the skin stays still and only the biped moves. When using the rig without keyframes the skin doesnt detach and deforms correctly.. im using Max 9.

Any ideas why this happens?

Cheers Matt

Hi..
Check if the skin modifier is switched off in the stack or keyed off during animation.

Also, putting modifers like edit mesh along with mesh operations (changing your number of vertices etc...) modifiers on top of your skin modifier tends to **** things up.
