Hi all,

I have just added a new little tutorial, well overview really, of a maxscript call Bio Skin, written by Kees Rijnen. Basically Bio Skin adds a bunch of very useful tools when skinning your character using 3ds max's "skin" modifier. So if you happen to do that, check it out:

hey guys, your welcome, hope you find it useful. Though in the end all I did was make a little tutorial, the real thanks should go to Kees for writting the script in the first place :)

Nice to see some new tutorials , I have to try Bio Skin some day.
What about your arm setup? Reading the tutorial I was wondering about your arm setup, especially the upperarm twist. I haven' t really tried with a upperarm twist yet, but it I would like to test it. There was a pretty good tutorial in a 3d world once. Do you have any animations that you could show regarding the upperarm? It would be nice to see how it works.

Marie looks pretty good btw, I belive I seen her before in a earlier stage.

Hi owiik,

Sorry, no I havn't got any animations, etc yet. I'm still sorting out final rigging and the like. But based on little direct test's it seams to work pretty well, ie I can put Maries hand behind her head and "untwist" the mesh at the shoulder. If I get a chance I may do a little tut, etc on the rigging.

But in short the basic setup is from using Charrigger, by Micheal Comet, then much like his low-arm twist I add my own for the upperarm.

Sorry syst3moveride, I don't really do any patch modelling these days, have you check the resources or tutorial sub forms, or try a search.
