Smooth joint and sketch bones are the only methods you can't do in v9. The remaining techniques will work just fine: 10:14 -- Layer binding 14:50 -- Point binding 16:00 -- Elbow "patch" 18:48 -- Flexi bind (hand) 19:33 -- Mandcon 22:51 -- Smart bone
You should watch the entire video with notepad in hand. If you don't have time, at the very least watch 10:14 to 27:40. There are some nifty tricks ("elbow patch" and "point switching") sprinkled in there that aren't commonly discussed.
Admittedly, you need a solid understanding of ASP to benefit from this, but seriously, I think this is the best video overview of joint methods out there.
