Hello, my name is Kevin Mackey.

During my time as an animator and technical artist, I have developed a tool called AutoBones, a system for
1) quickly creating character rigs using the Max bones system
2) allowing each chain of bones to be keyframed as a single object, and
3) switching seamlessly between IK and FK animation.

I have run a beta test in order to confirm a high degree of performance and stability, and am now making a commercial version available, including a 30-day free trial.

If you do any character animation at all with 3ds Max, AutoBones will save you significant setup and animation time. Even if you already use another system for rigging your characters, the speed with which AutoBones rigs can be set up and animated make it a fantastic choice for previz work.

More information, as well as the download itself, can be found at www.versatileartist.com/autobones

I am constantly looking for input on ways to improve AutoBones, so whether you are interesting in trying AutoBones or not, I would like to ask the following: “What elements do you believe are most essential in an animation rig?”

In addition, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I will try to check back here for responses, but I can always be reached at kmackey@versatileartist.com

And of course, I would love to see anything you create using AutoBones! Share images and links here if you like, or send them to me directly.

MultiScatter is a new product based on VRayScatter technology its designed to work not only with V-Ray but with Mental Ray too.
New in MultiScatter: multi-core processing support! It uses all available CPU cores and therefore runs much quicker than VRayScatter which can only use one CPU core. And more!

For those getting the Invalid Serial Message :

1. All FAiNT Vue Releases have Valid Serials ;
2. In your registry resides a fake serial from a nonFAiNT release ;
3. The FAiNT installer (based on eon installer) only registers the embedded Valid Serial if there isn't any in the registry , the existing one , even if it's an Invalid one from a nonFAiNT release it's not overwritten (eon installer behavior).

Solution:

Uninstall existing Vue and delete leftover folders and xstream reg files , especially C:\ProgramData\e-onsoftware\Vue 12 xStream.reg before installing FAiNT Release so that the FAiNT installer register the Valid Serial.
