<blockquote>Summary: Apply the rig from the original object(s) to your object(s). Set maximum limit for bones to affect vertices to the object's skin count.</blockquote>For 3ds Max: Select the original object's Skin modifier in the modifier list, then copy it. Select your object, then paste the rig onto it. If all has gone well, you're done with this step. 3ds Max uses one or more of a series of algorithms to map the rig of one object onto the rig of another object automatically, and it's generally pretty good about it. | <blockquote>Summary: Apply the rig from the original object(s) to your object(s).

* Click and drag the object on top of the original object's Armature (the one with the orange upside-down triangle next to it), while holding shift and alt. This will assign the object to that armature, instead. Then, select the object in Object mode, go to the Modifiers tab (which looks like a diagonal wrench, in the bottom right area), click on the box next to Object, and select the armature of the original model. | * Click and drag the object on top of the original object's Armature (the one with the orange upside-down triangle next to it), while holding shift and alt.

* Select your object in Object mode. In the bottom right, click on the upside-down green triangle. If there is anything in the Vertex Groups tab, delete it all with the - button. Then, Ctrl+click the original object that most closely matches its location. Go into Weight Paint mode, click on the Weights button in the top left, and select Transfer Weights. In the bottom left, expand the new small tab there, if it is not already. For Vertex Mapping, select Nearest Face Interpolated. For Source Layers Selection, select By Name. For Destination Layers Matching, select All Layers. | * Select your object in Object mode. In the bottom right, click on the upside-down green triangle.
