Hey guys!
I have a problem with a character I’ve been skinning in Maya 2016; I just finished skinning his left hand with no issues. When I turn the wrist or any other joints everything is fine. When I mirror my skinning over to the other side of the mesh the skinning transfers perfectly, but when I go to turn the wrist the whole arm gets pulled for some reason and ends up completely ruining the wrist and arm. From experimenting with it it looks like the wrist joint is stretching all of the joints between the wrist and elbow, and the elbow joint is stretching all of the joints between the elbow and shoulder and having a similar effect, the joints are literally stretching and creating this problem. I’ve tried recreating the parent constraints between the the elbow and wrist anims to their joints and that didn’t help, I really have no clue what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help offered
