Mine for example had the body as well as to eye meshes. I attached those together and then applied the skin modifier to the model and picked the base human as the bones. Now it works.

Mar 7, 2012 - I'm having similar problems. I think its got something to do with the built-in IK chains, but that doesn't get me any closer to figuring it out since I dont really know anything about IK.

Feb 2, 2012 - I have a problem when adding an absolute animation layer to my CAT rig. The top half of the rig seems to shoot down to 0,0,0 and the arms that were posed now end up in a completley random position, the only way round this i have found is to use an adjustment world/ local or even the walk cycle option. It just seems to be the absolute layer that is causing problems. any ideas would be welcome!

Oct 26, 2011 - Can someone please tell me how to move the Leg bone above the ankle without disturbing the position of the ankle during setup? Deselecting local Position doesn't seem to have an effect.

Aug 30, 2011 - what you should do is select your mesh and then add a skin modifier from the modify list, after that scroll down on the skin modifier on the right and click Add bones, a screen will appear above shows the bones, check the display and make sure it's on display children, then select the bones by pressing ctrl+c, then press select.

Suprem3Gamer Says:

Aug 30, 2011 - you can unable x-ray mode on the mesh, then you can easily see the rig, you can also hide the mesh by selecting it and then>> right click on the mouse>> hide selection.

Jul 26, 2011 - The skinning only seemed to work for the pelvis and thighs, but nothing else

Jul 26, 2011 - My viewport goes crazy when I try to move (not rotate or scale) the collarbone. Using Max 2012. The collar bone and entire arm seem to delete themselves and my view camera goes somewhere else in the viewport space
