I'm using maya 6.0 with a nurbs character. When i move his one foot, a cv from the other foot follows. How do i take the weight off of that cv as to not follow the other foot.

Thanks
Dwayne

hi there.

This is a pretty common glitch (and VERY annoying).
Select the annoying CV.
then
Go to "Window > General Editors > Component Editor"
Select the "Smooth Skins" tab from the pop up window.
In the menu at the top that says "List" turn "Show all columns" off (no tick)

Now what you see is all of the bones that influence this one CV. Simply set the number under the bones that shouldn't be effecting the CV to 0 and the weight will shift to one of the other bones...

hope this helps
cheers
