Muscle Strand Tools

There's no harm at all :)
What I'm saying is that the Biped Structure (the default one though) has not enough bones for this script to be useful, the Skin Modifier tools are enough to deal with them.

ah, okay.
I thank you for your attention and explanation ;)

Hmmm, please be a little bit more specific about what you want to do with the arm of the biped, because in that case, just for one bone, the tool doesn't have any use.

I'm sorry, I had an act of presumption.
are too embarrassed to ask you some extra work (just for biped)
I thought it would be difficult for you to work on a script for biped whole, so I limited the bones (wrongly). I chose the only forearm bone excluding also the twist bones.

I can honestly tell you that I do not have particular preferences about the type of biped bones to be involved. I play in max as a hobby, I do not have commercial claims.
I appreciate so all scripts (high-level or small they may be) that help me to rigging.

I hope you understand my bad English (google translator).

I don't have this version to test it.

Give it a try, I'll say there's a 90% chance of success, I can't think of any line of code that would be "2013 only".

For the other question, no, it doesn't work for biped for the moment. I could however adapt it, what part of the biped are you thinking about ? twist bones ?

thanks for your answer.
Meanwhile, thank you for sharing your script (I forgot in my previous comment).

I thought to use the part of the biped "arm". not "twist bones" (forearm).
tnk.

excuse my ignorance:
the script works with max2008?
the script also works with biped?
thanks :)

You might be the only here to use this script, so be my guest :]

Yeah, I guess the LBiceps 6 and 7 of the example animated GIF aren't really useful.

Same workflow, but only the deformers belonging to the skin modifier are processed.

This should be good now, I replaced the v0.1 file, just redownload it again :]

Excellent! Thank you again!

It should be ok.
It's the same file, just redownload it (two lines were added, so no version upgrading).

Works now! Thanks.
Another small problem, if not all muscle's spheres added in Skin modifier script stop working with error. (In my riggs I not always use all muscle's spheres) Can you fix it too?

Oh ok, it's just because the skin modifier is not selected in the stack. Correcting this right now.

Yeah, indeed I set this up using the simplest modifier stack ever :)

I'll debug it with, let's say an object space modifier like Turbosmooth, and a world space modifier like a path follow.

Useful tool! Thank you for sharing.
Can you add support for objects which has more modifiers over Skin modifier? By now script shows errors.
