Press Release: BonesPro 4 – The veteran in character skinning has returned.

3d-io Developers and Designers are proud to announce the resurrection of the popular and reliable organic skinning plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max. In cooperation with Digimation Inc. 3d-io has rebuilt, improved and optimized this unique character skinning tool in order to further enhance artist productivity. The new BonesPro continues the tradition of incomparably fast and easy skinning setup and smooth skin deformations.

In the current, extremely high demanding world of CG animation every possible increase of quality and speed is crucial to succeed over the competition. For convincing animations it is mandatory that the mesh deforms and follows the movements of the skeleton accurately. Creating realistic looking movements while the deadlines loom in the near future is a very challenging task. This is where BonesPro steps in. It provides you with the ability to achieve impressive results in record time and master the daily challenges of the animation industry.

Key Features of BonesPro
Speed
BonesPro delivers fast results through a quick assignment set-up and convenient adjustment options.

Quality
Meshes deform like elastic skin, avoid face clipping and don’t tear vertices too far apart from each other.

Flexibility
Hypodermic deformer objects can handle the most problematic areas in an animated mesh with ease.

Teamwork
API access allows integration into existing pipelines and Teams can collaborate on scenes without having to supply everyone with licenses.

And Beyond
BonesPro can not only be used for traditional character skinning but also for many specialized animation effects.

The BonesPro plug-in and associated training materials are now available at https://www.bonespro.com
