now that is very interesting Ottosson i’ll give it a try later in the week when i have more time.
in max you could try using dummies and convert them to bones on export, we did it that way for ut3 , here’s an old written tutorial but you’ll have to use fbx to export https://sites.google.com/site/ut40kmod/UT40k_mod/ut3-tutorials-1/ut3-cw-part-1
or use max objects like in old one https://sites.google.com/site/ut40kmod/UT40k_mod/ut3-tutorials-1/ut3-cv-part-1
