3ds Max Rigging Tools

Create lightweight rig helper primitives, build simple bone chains, inspect constraints and deformer state, and apply or remove common host-native modifiers. Tools operate on explicit node references or explicit use_selection=true and declare affinity: main for 3ds Max scene access.

Character-system helpers are limited to availability checks so optional biped or CAT support can fail gracefully when the host installation does not expose those APIs.
