🤔 Why SkinLayer Studio?

3ds Max Skin Modifier hasn't changed in 20 years.

😱 The Problem

❌ No Influence Lock

Fix one shoulder, break an elbow. When 3+ bones overlap, weights redistribute like falling dominoes — completely out of your control.

❌ Mirror and weight copy — how does anyone even do this?

Hidden tips only veterans know... Mirror Map setup? Save Envelopes? Skin Wrap? 30 minutes just to find the method. Finally tried it — mesh crushed, weights flying everywhere. "Is this a feature or a bug?"

❌ AAA quality with this tool? Seriously?

Structured skinning is simply impossible. Corrective layers, pose-based deformation control, hierarchical weight management. Without all of this, facial and body quality hits a hard ceiling. It's not your skill. It's the tool.

"Great for modeling. Absolute hell for skinning."
