Having seen the future roadmap of 3ds max development, I'm compelled to believe theres going to be very little effort put in alleviating our animation woes with 3ds max. Hence, my suggestion to but INSTANTRIG and adjust to match certain principles of CAT, which we already have. It should either be completely replaced or inducted in CAT. Character rigging in 3ds max can be such a hassle. We can't overemphasize how much we need improvements in that department.
