Using This Book
Each section of 3ds Max Animation with Biped covers a different technique for working with the Biped software: Skinning, Footsteps, Freeform Animation, and Combining Motions. The chapters cover various tasks you can accomplish with those techniques, and exercises will walk you through the process of using the associated tools.
The exercises are meant to be performed using 3ds Max version 8, but some may also work in earlier versions. However, the Max files on the accompanying CD were all saved in version 8 and will not open in earlier versions.
Word to the wise: If you’re using 3ds Max 8, be sure to get the Service Pack 1 update, which fixes a number of bugs.
