[3ds Max] Mesh wont react to bones

Enydimon

Hi guys, I'm trying to test the deform on my model but I can't seem to get the mesh's skin modifier to react to the bones. I've gone through a couple of tutorials and searched what I could on these forums but couldn't find an answer that seemed to fix it.

What I do know is that if I make a cylinder and do the exact same thing I did for my model, it does react when I move the bones. I'm not sure what's going on.

Here's the menu setup for the layers and the skin modifier.



Didn't bother to take a screen of the model, but the bones are definitely inside and positioned.

You still have vertex selection model turned on in your edit poly base. Got here and turn that off and see if it helps. Some modifiers will only apply themselves to selected parts if the selection is left on.

Aha! That did the trick, thanks.

Figures it would be something that simple.
