Hi, i have a problem with the skin modifier in 3ds max 2025. The weights are not showing when I add the skin modifier. I only see red verticle dots. I tried very option in the display settings... Does someone know what the problem could be?

Looking at the orange vertex located on the shoulder, skin weights seem to be working.

Make sure the envlope is not too small. The envlope should be big enough to wrap around the mesh.

You can also inspect the vertex weights numerically:

1. click on "Edit Envelope"

2. click on Select > "Vertices"

3. click on "Weight Table" to open the Skin Weight Table dialog

4. optional: in the table bottom-left, switch from "All vertices" to "Selected Vertices", then select the vertices you are interested and the table should print out the weight values.
