OOHHH okay. thanks. i will try that

[BlueBrain]

be sure to report if it worked :D

also, remember there are characters with weird rigs, like peach with her odd shoulders... xD

[SonicBrawler]

Nope same problem.

[BlueBrain]

what 3ds max are you using?
if 2010 or older please upload the .max so i can take a look...
if higher, save as a 2010 scene please xD

[SonicBrawler]

2010. I'm not home and won't be for a week so i cant :P

[RAWRzilla]

lmao I'm doing this now and my 3DS Max Crashes after every skin wrap, but it does it and saves it in the recovery file

So I have to restart from a crash and do the next object after each

[BlueBrain]

just ignore when it "crashes" it's just overloading, let it be and it should recover, if ur PC is really crappy, add the objects all once at a time xD

Yeah, skin wrap can put quite the toll on old computers. 3DS max is not easy to run on old computers to begin with. I once overheated my computer trying to get "profesional" level shadows on a 3DS max render. So if your computer can't handle it, be patient and do stuff slowly.

So I did the skin wrap and it weighted everything, but it still screws the hell out of the rig. Well, not the rig, but the "roundness" of the model. I assume since I'm taking models with 1200-2000 polys down to something like 400, it is messing with the rig. I just dont know what to do :(

[Iwvi]

What skin wrap does is that it approximates a skin based on another object. A higher poly object would bend much more smoothly than a low poly one. If that's what you mean, yeah it is because of the lower quantity of polys.

[BlueBrain]

also, if the model being skin wrapped iis higher poly than the base mesh, it wont look as good as it could, since it will only use the weight values of the lower poly model. but that's a minor thingy

Hey I have a problem I tried using the skin wrap technic one at a time like you guys said and I got this in Brawlbox

You probably didn't select the right original (already rigged objects) Seems like you only selected the feet and lower arms.

[poker7777]

Your probably right thanks actually I figured that part out now I'm trying to stop him from freezing in brawl I re-did everything and it rigged it just doesn't work in Brawl yet :/

Thanks joke king for this super quick auto-auto rig guide, Iwvi and Sirkura for dumbing it down to make it more easier.  I can get back to doing projects that I was originally going to stop on.  :)
