In Part Three, we will take a look at the Skin Modifier and create our Skin test animation. You will learn why we need to do this, what is a Skin test animation and how does the Skin Modifier work. You will also find out that CAT has two modes you can work in. Setup Mode and Animation mode.

This 7 part video series will guide you through the whole process of rigging and skinning a 3D character from start to finish. At the end of this series, you will have an animation ready character, to be used for any kind of body animation.
I will explain every step of the process in comprehensive detail so even beginners will not have trouble getting to the final result. Everybody can do this! Getting into animation is tough and requires quite the determination and resilience, but these videos will help you guide you through this difficult process and make it easy for you.

We will be using 3ds Max CAT animation system for this. If you don't know what CAT is, 3ds Max CAT (Character Animation Toolkit) is an animation system inside Max that offers a lot of useful features.
If you want to learn more about CAT you should watch more of my videos. I have tutorials for many different topics like rigging, skinning, how to do animation, how to do a walk cycle, run cycle, etc ...
