Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

;382161’]I guess with the way I tend to paint weights, I never have values where I don’t want them. I tend to flood the entire mesh to the pelvis, then work up the spine, and out the arms, then down the legs. I never let Maya control where weights go, because it is usually pretty bad with that! I also only use add, and very rarely smooth. Only if the things I want to smooth between are the only unlocked influences I’m old fashioned I guess.

Same, but that doesn’t stop it happening, because Maya’s weight painting tools are broken. What you described is the standard Maya weighting workflow fyi Edit: Mostly when doing some complex rigs things just stop working right and suddenly you have broken weights, has happened but mostly in film.

Speaking of being broken, is there any chance this space switching system will work better while actually animating in v2? ATM it just breaks the moment you try to change any of the spaces mid animating. Makes this two handed weapon a hassle when he lets go with one hand or transfers to the other.
