I started using painter right before this project and I've had to learn it too. I built my wood textures from scratch for this project so I could learn how to do it. You can rotate your noises by selecting the fill layer, a transformation handle box thing pops ups on the 2D texture. You can use that to rotate the noise…
You'll end up with two maps one will have good ends the other will have good sides. It's really just a matter of layering them on top of each other in Photoshop then erasing out the bad parts from the top layer. On more organic shapes it can be better to just push the cage outward evenly just enough so that it encompasses…
Are you searching the user reference or the tutorials? There are very detailed step by step tutorials about making a squishy ball bounce down steps as well as a bunch of wobble toys. All of which give you the foundation you'll need to set up what you need. In case your help files are... dorked... I'll give you a quick run…
so if I understand you right... you want to shift the weights from Clavicle and UpperArm_Twist to UpperArm?

I should note to all who have been attempting to…

Does your "One Object" function suffer from Max's inability to attach large selections? I wrote this a while back: http://garydave.com/2011/05/combine-attach-selected/ but no matter which way I went about it, it would always lag when I started trying to attach hundreds of objects together. I'm no master of Maxcript which…
You can create a script that places a helper object at the vertex selection center. Then manually align the bones to the helpers using pivot snap. When you are done run a one line script to delete all the points. --//USES THE WORKING PIVOT TO CREATE A TEMP POINT OBJECT
