Tip: Alt+X on Skin to make it transparent. It's easier to work this way.

[@exil3dlivecom]

Lol

[@PolyMadd]

Because it's a SKINNING tutorial. You should know how BONING works already LOL XD

[@romania3dart]

NICE TUTORIAL .... You make my day ...THANK YOU !

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Glad to hear that!

[@BlenderInGame]

Thanks a lot. That happened to me also where you needed to pause the video. Don't know what it is, but it would be great if I can find out what it is and avoid it.

[@WoodysAR]

Physique is supported by ALL game engines because: It exports as 'skin'!

[@RichardBlumenstein]

It wasn't always the case, this video is pretty old

[@WoodysAR]

@@RichardBlumenstein I have worked in the tool since 3D Studio for DOS ... When did FBX support Physique? Oh, ... you must mean, there was no way to get Biped and Physique out before FBX became a standard etc. (the .3DS days...) Or .. oh,. you could export if you had Skin and Bones, , but Character Studio was its own thing for a while at first. You get much use out of CAT? I consider CAT to be the 3D equivalent of,.. MIDI Arpeggiation ;") If you need something, repeating, or looping,. great! but... I LOVE Character Studio... The power is amazing to this day...

[@RichardBlumenstein]

@VR & AR dev.Studio If I remember, it was using a couple of game engines where the plugins didn't export physique

[@SalsaE621]

thanks this really helped me out

[@alejandrogorgal]

Thanks a lot for this video, quick and to the point.

[@sssrai3440]

thats really cool technique...

[@m0rr0ws0n4]

how did you make the weight paint colors show up?

[@RichardBlumenstein]

+m0rr0ws0n You have to show geometry, hot key f4

[@HanSolocambo]

Skin Modifier -> Display -> Color all Weights

[@mimiahmed9414]

Thank you ..🌷🌷🌷🤗🤗🤗

[@MarieWonderDay]

Hi, well the thing is I have an animation to check the skin, but when I play it it only moves my bones, is like there is no connection between skin and model, do you know how to fix it? Thanks

[@bobdawkins7473]

How to change Brush size in 3d Max ? What's the shortcut key? Probably the most important thing to know in skinning.

[@BatspindaVL]

Thanks man you´re awesome. Very easy and straight forward video. Liked :)

[@karlhans6678]

1. How do you turn on the colored area? 2. I noticed that when moving the bone, the red vertices of the envelope won't move with it, why is that?

[@RichardBlumenstein]

1. I checked the vertice box, and showed the object with F4. The red is full control, the blue is the least amount of control. The red doesn't deform because it has full control.

[@karlhans6678]

Richard Blumenstein 1. Thanks, it works if I make a shape but not with a model I downloaded, hmm odd.. 2. I meant the pill shaped red wireframe, it doesn't move around with the bone/skin.

[@karlhans6678]

Found my issue: had the ALT + X toggled. Pressed it again to toggle back to viewing my model without transparency.

[@PolyMadd]

You select vertices and so... kind of see the... *does something that we don't know and a heat map pops up on the model*

[@Malaphisis]

I swear you show up half the time I search for stuff on here haha!

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Is that a bad thing Spencer?

[@Malaphisis]

+Richard Blumenstein Hell no, thanks for the skinning the refresher! just what I needed!

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Did you see my new KZbin project. Making mobile assets steampunk train

[@minhduongthuong2178]

can we show eclipse shape of skinning control in Maya ? i can't found this

[@riccastcaz]

Thank you Richard

[@kjetilmyhren358]

thanks a lot! this helped me a lot :)

[@WoodysAR]

You can't paint weights when Paint Blend is Checked!

[@BionicDance]

5:20 - "You can actually minus and add-in your weights..." But _HOW?_ I do not see how to switch from plus to minus. What are you actually pressing or holding to swap from one to the other???

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Alt key

[@BionicDance]

Thanks. :)

[@Lothnar5070]

Thank you for this, helped me out a ton..subbed!

[@RichardBlumenstein]

You're welcome

[@aboutvenice]

hey nice short video, thx!

[@RichardBlumenstein]

I saved and restarted max and it worked fine again. I don't get that too often.

[@emilydave7643]

That happens a lot for me

[@pixelson9062]

How do you got the colors of envelopes to appear?

[@RichardBlumenstein]

When you click on envelopes, you need to enlarge the bubbles and check the vertices checkbox. Then you need to select the bone envelopes it should colorize them.

[@RichardBlumenstein]

no problem.

[@BlenderInGame]

That was my first time, so maybe it won't do that the next.

[@DrNanite]

how do you make it the model appear in xray mode?

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Helen Rowlett I believe it's shortcut Alt X

[@DrNanite]

It worked. Thanks

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Helen Rowlett Your welcome

[@faizalste9233]

is there any way to change the colors to black and white like in maya? the weight color order is weird because around 0 to 0.5 it turns grey, and i sometimes cant tell if that vertice is affected by the bone or not.

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Yes, you can do black and white, I believe it's in the settings

[@faizalste9233]

do you have a video tutorial or know of one that shows how to do that?

[@RichardBlumenstein]

Customize > Customize User Interface > Color tab > Change Elements pull down to "Geometry"> Look at the subsections settings.

[@WhiteWolfos]

What what did you press to "minus" the weights?? 5:50

[@WhiteWolfos]

nvm its holding alt it seems

[@RichardBlumenstein]

WhiteWolfos Yeah, sorry for the delay. but yes Alt.

[@saadmohammad6141]

but my alt is not working for me max 2016 i have reatarted it and the computer but no use

[@MrKasugano]

3:45 Oh, oh my, how could this even happen in $1.500 SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR bloatware ?... Hahah typical 3dmax shit problems 24\7... .fuck you autodesk , never gonna use it even if you pay millions to me.Go learn from Maxon autodesk hindu devs.
