The ideas work and with multiple skin clusters or different deformers but it was not dishonest.

Maya can not use the system because it does not allow the proper deformer stack. You should be honest about this

The link we have is the same as what you posted here, for some reason sometimes it works for people and sometimes it doesn’t. Thank you for the comment.

There’s a problem with the link. Here’s the direct link:

We have had others report this as well, make sure that you don’t have any pop-up blockers on for the site then it should allow it to download.

Wow! This is a fabulous thing for you to do. Thank you. I’m excited to look over it and study it. I hope to get the book soon. Jonathan Paine recommended you highly and sends his regards.
