Paint Weights mess up

[Darksuit]

The weights are normalizing to 1.0 you have to think of painting weights as subtracting away from the places oyu don't want them. The problem you described happens a lot when you use replace, and occasionally with smooth. I would say Never use replace unless it's using a vlaue of 1 or 0. If you use smooth, make sure your brush size is small and use smale circular strokes.

Sometimes it is better to just use the component editor to assign some weights.

Thanks, I never used replaced but smooth, I guess it's best waiting till the end of the weighting to smooth, and I'll try the small brush tip in future, I just started again!

Cheers :)
