Hi All,
This question that I have is a bit unusual.
I rigged a character that I modelled through Human IK and after like 1000 tutorials and youtube videos, people have successfully confused me.
When painting weights, I tried everything and it was a mess. However, I started setting the character to extreme poses, selected vertices in the affected area and used the Hammer weight option and so far the results have been great. It worked so well that I completed rigging the entire character by 70% hammering weights and 30% tweaking painted weighs here and there.
Is this the right approach or am I setting up myself for a big pitfall? In all the videos I watched and tutorials I followed, only one guy used the hammer weights option. So I have doubts on getting the weight painting done this way.
Your thoughts?
