//! \brief Base class for user-defined skin deformers 
/*!
 MPxSkinCluster allows the creation of user-defined skin deformers. 
 It derives from MPxGeometryFilter and so offers all the functionality of that class.
 Additionally, it has the per-vertex skin weights and other skin-related attributes
 of the Maya built-in skinCluster node.

 Custom nodes derived from MPxSkinCluster are treated by Maya just like the built-in skinCluster,
 so all the weight painting/editing etc. tools that artists are used to also work on the custom nodes.
