Detailed Description

A skin wrapper Class.

This class provides an unified interface to the various skin options present in 3ds Max. This includes Physique and Skin. All the data from skin and physique are stored in the same way, but options exist to find out what skinning option was used. The vertex indexes used here are the same as those for the actual mesh, so this provides a one to one corelation.
The version of the Character Studio that is used for IGame is 3.2.1 - Anything earlier is unsupported
The bones need to be parsed by IGame before this interface can be used.
