here is what I found on a quick search,
To say that a vertex is "weighted" with respect to a Bone means that the vertex will move as the Bone is rotated in order to stay aligned with it. At 100 percent weighting, the vertex follows the Bone rigidly. At 50 percent weighting, the vertex moves only half as much as the Bone does. MAX indicates weighting values by spectral color-coding (in the same manner as in the Soft Selection tool for mesh editing, which is precisely the same concept). A red vertex is 100 percent weighted to the selected Bone. The lowest amount of weighting is signified by blue. Between these extremes are various hues of yellow and green, and completely unweighted vertices remain white.
hope you can make something out of this

I saw that to. That should be pretty neat to play around with. I can only imagine the cool looking stuff that will get turned out once it is released.

Will that Dev Kit work with Max 4? That's the one I've got and there's no way I can afford to upgrade!

I belive that they are going to make it max 4 compatiabale, since there are many of us who can't afford upgrades and are stuck with max 4.

Good news. I'll keep an eye out for it. Actually, can someone tip me a wink if they see it on the PDS forum, I've practically stopped going there what with my ISP line problems and busy, busy, busy witjh Max.

I'm terrible lately i have this one, pds and the official one all up at the same time and just keep flicking back and forth between them.
Although with pds doing strange things again i may just have the two for a while.

No problem, it will give me an excuse to pay more attention to PDS forums.
