Base class for user-defined skin deformers.
MPxSkinCluster allows the creation of user-defined skin deformers. It derives from MPxGeometryFilter and so offers all the functionality of that class. Additionally, it has the per-vertex skin weights and other skin-related attributes of the Maya built-in skinCluster node.
Custom nodes derived from MPxSkinCluster are treated by Maya just like the built-in skinCluster, so all the weight painting/editing etc. tools that artists are used to also work on the custom nodes.
