3dsMax my Bones modifier gone.....

Hello everyone,

There is something that made me really stuck at rigging today (my first time with manual rigging no biped) actually I created bones from foot > leg > spine > neck > head, then I added helper object and did orientation constrain each bones to related helper object.

when I back to refine the bones fin, I lost my bones modifier and realized bones start from spine untill head already converted to editable poly, left behind bones leg and foot which still has their modifier......

Is there any way to convert it back to bones modifier ?
I need to refine the fins.

Thanks in advance

There is no way to convert back to a Bone object. You can either recreate the bones or just modify the edit poly.

I think you could also export as FBX and re-import, that converts all bones back into Max Bones. Or at least it used to, way back when I used this method. But I think you lose everything else, like the fins etc., as they just come in as plain bone objects. Probably not what you want.

I just wondering how the bones converted to editable poly ?
I did not recognized even a bit, while rigging the model.

It just happened to me.....
