physique - cant make 100% weight vertices to one bone (urgent help needed)

[Mathieson]

I'm not very familiar with physique at all. Used it only once and it was years ago, but I have run into issues with skin that sound like this. What I found in those situations was that somehow the verts in question had the same bone assigned twice to the list of influences, and this was keeping me from being able to assign it 100% to the chosen envelope. Going into the weight table, selecting all verts, and then removing zero weights seemed to do the trick for a work around.

Maybe something similar is happening with physique? Hopefully this at least gives you some ideas.

i tried it, didnt help

Can you use Skin instead as Physique really isn't up to the standards of Skin.

I have to use physique for this project, it's a requirement. I am so frustrated with physique that i dont even know what more to write.

When i move the head bone the neck bone's vertices i assigned ONLY to the neck bone move, weights and envelopes of the head bone on all levels and sub levels are set to 0, it's crazy...

it was complicated.. not sure but perhaps this :

choose "No Blending"
select the 3 vertex types + + +
remove from link // pick bones to remove(head/neck)
select vertex type "Rigid" only
asign to link // pick bone(neck)
lock

but envelopes are important before messing with vertices, I used to create extra nulls to give more freedom to physique envelopes..

[Piotrek255]

It worked ! thanks a lot. one more question, if you move the points in the envelopes, can you somehow mirror them ?

for example i created and deformed envelopes on one side of the rig, and i want to mirror them to the other side ( opposite arms, legs ).

I tried the COPY function but it doesnt flip the changed points positions in the envelopes.

[Ruramuq]

The mirror button should work somehow
-select Bone A
-copy
-select Bone B
-paste
-mirror

if I remember correctly, sometimes it may not work very well,
but you can select the envelope(/Link option), and rotate it around 180º.
if the cross sections have been modified, then the effect will be visible otherwise not
