Please HELP!

#1

Hey there,
i try to keep it short and sorry, i´m a forum noob, if this post is at the wrong section/thread/topic whatever, let me know. (and for my english gramma etc :smiley: )
I´m studding informatic and we got maya this semester. Like good students allways are, i recently start my project… a little bit late. Means this project has to be done at frieday. So far so good… so i made a full rig for the character wich i using in my scene. Everything is done…mesh, bones, controllers etc. but when i now bind my skin to the mesh und i move it. The mesh totally flips around and ontop flys the mesh away from the skeleton. I allready unlocked all locked attributs but it still deforms my mesh. It´s mybe because of the constrainst.

I have to say that i didn´t have a real clue about skinning and i just did it by selecting the root-bone/join and the mesh and bindSkin->smooth bind.

I hope that someone can give me an idea how to fix that.
Thanks, mercy, danke, gracias

Hi
Select all the joints and bind. Have to paint weights there is no escape route.

Thx for helping shinyprem,
but i figured out that the mesh was partly not freezed and i deleted everywere the history again.
Sorry i just started with rigging and i was a little bit dizzy because of the exames-stress.

pm_heatweight does a root bone select and then mesh select quite well, as long as the bones are not in a broken hierarchy. It depends on the rig I suppose/ switches… etc.
Still best to do it manually with ‘selected joints’ on in bind. (there is no escape route" :slight_smile:
Heat weighting in now in Maya 2013 for selected joints, but its broken. A complete fail.
