flip skinned character by X
polycounter lvl 13
in 3ds max
Is it possible to easy "flip" skinned character by X and "rebuild" it so it can be normaly used for animation?
I'm afraid that simple Mirror function might broke every aspect of the character.

There are ways to do what you want without rebuilding the rig and reskinning manually but it's one of those situations where if you have to ask how you probably shouldn't try it.
yes, I would like to use it for mod the game. the question is always bothers me and I never had a strong solution for it.
the rig is not CAT/Biped, it's just a bones and most of the time is just "helpers" instead of real bones
Animation mirroring is tricky - to do it properly you need to do a load of matrix maths so it's not something to be taken lightly. You may be able to cheat by flipping the rig in max and constraining a new rig to it.
It'd probably help if you posted a picture of the rig/mesh and explain exactly what you want to do with it
