So i'm trying to rig my biped, painting weights, in max 2011. I have the weights painted, but when i go to test them by rotating the bone it causes strange extrusions across the area affected. Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Usually that's because some vertices weights may have been removed in your process. If I were you seeing as your doing this for halo. You should manually skin your biped. If your trying to save time you can use mirror mode when you skin your biped. Also under the Advanced tab make sure you have your bone effect limit to 2.

Try weighting the vertices individually instead of painting them. You can give them a threshold of 1.0 or 0 (and all in between). I'll assume you'll know about vertex weights.

I'll assume you'll know about vertex weights. Although faster I find using the point to point method is easier, painting doesn't give me nearly as much control as the regular method, having said that the regular method does take some time.
