is a 3ds Max object: it can be any deformable,
vertex-based object such as a mesh, a patch, or a
shape. When you animate the skeleton with skin
attached, Physique deforms the skin to match the
skeleton’s movement.
Animating the underly ing skeleton enables you to
animate a single contiguous model of a character
that bends, creases, and bulges about an arbitrary
number of joints w ithin the attached skeleton.
With Physique, you can define how the skin
behaves when it deforms. For example:
• You can make portions of the skin solid,
excludingthemfromPhysique’sdeformation,
though solid portions still move along with the
root node of the skeleton they are attached to .

• You can make portions of the skin deformable.
They move with the deformation spline, the
smooth curve running through the links of the
skeleton they are attached to.
