Serenity Struts Rigging 2 3ds Max Tutorial

This video tutorial takes the last video on this subject a little further, with a more complex rig and mesh. Post questions in the comments area if you are having them, but be sure to check out the prior video first because it starts at the beginning. It's called "3ds Max Bones Skinning Tutorial - Serenity Lander".

i have one, i have a model, and when i put the bones like in the other tutorial, it deformes the mesh, i dont know what to do, iff i have to cut parts, iff i have to group them, or iff its just a setting problem... can i send you the project and you then say whats rong pls??

[3dcognition]

@josediogomafra - sorry, don't have time to do that - suggest you check out some simpler tutorials and go nice and slow in order to figure out what you did wrong.

are the pieces of the leg individual or did you model it as one leg?

[3dcognition]

I modeled the pieces of the leg separately, then used Attach to make them one single mesh - but keep in mind the mesh is made of of these separate elements, which act separately when you do add a Skin modifier to them, and each element receives its own bone to control it.
