the plugin has been build for WINDOWS.

# tooltips
since the tooltips are Gifs, and take up quite some space while gumroad does not allow for big files these will be downloaded automatically. in some cases this does not work so you can find the tooltips here:

make sure that these are unpacked in the SkinningTools/Maya/tooltips directory
