Why we like it

Bone copy earns its spot in the ScriptSpot library as a focused utility with a single, clear job: moving skin weights from one bone to another within the Skin modifier. If your rigging work involves reassigning weights between bones, it's a small script worth keeping on hand.

What is Bone copy?

Bone copy is a script for 3ds Max, made available by developer Chuggnut. Its function is to swap the skinning weights from one bone in a Skin modifier to another, transferring the weighting from a chosen source bone across to a second bone.

Skin weights in 3ds Max control how each bone pulls on the mesh assigned to it. Bone copy focuses on moving those weight values from a source bone to a destination bone inside the Skin modifier.

The current release is version 2.3.5, and it is listed here as free. Bone copy appears in the ScriptSpot library, and Chuggnut's own page at chuggnut.com is the spot to confirm the latest version and any specifics on how to run it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bone copy work with the Skin modifier in 3ds Max?

Bone copy is built to operate on the Skin modifier in 3ds Max. Its job is to swap the skinning weights from one bone in that modifier over to another bone, so the Skin modifier is where it does its work. Beyond that, exact host version support isn't detailed here, so it's best to confirm which 3ds Max releases are supported on Chuggnut's page at chuggnut.com before installing.

What version of Bone copy is available?

Bone copy is currently listed at version 2.3.5. Since scripts like this can see updates over time, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the reliable place to check whether a newer build has been released and to read any notes tied to the current version. The ScriptSpot listing is another spot where the script can be found and downloaded for 3ds Max.

Is Bone copy free to download?

Bone copy is listed here as free, so you can download the script without a purchase from this catalog. Licensing terms can change, though, so for the current, authoritative word on cost and any usage conditions, check Chuggnut's official page at chuggnut.com. That page is also the best source for the latest version of the script and any documentation the developer provides alongside it.

Where can I download Bone copy?

Bone copy can be found in the ScriptSpot library, where it's catalogued for 3ds Max. The developer, Chuggnut, also maintains an official page at chuggnut.com, which is the primary source for the script and the place to look for the current version 2.3.5 or anything newer. Downloading from the developer's own site is generally the safest way to make sure you have the genuine, up-to-date file.
