Max's skin modifier

[jister]

oohh so clean new forums i barely dare to make a thread

anyways i found out I suck OR max's skin modifier isn't that great... hope it's later, but probably is...

so I have my skinning verts of position (not on the mesh' verts) after modeling and putting the skin mod in my stack, no prob, i collapse, XForm and put a new skin on it... (normally works, don't ask me why, but it does normally)
but this time i got this...?


so 2 Questions:
1 whats the better skinning/rigging software?
2 whats up with these skin-verts always not being on the mesh-verts? and how do i fix these?

thx
J.

to answer it myself
it was the hair fur mod... after disable end result they were back in place...
anywas to cheer this thread up... here's a wip render, the hair (or beter feathers) are still not tweaked.
the final production will be a trailer for a game thats in dev. at work.
