  1. Thank you for this method! I was struggling to get my head around weight painting at first. However, if this method is basically starting from scratch and painting the entire weights yourself, it begs the question what is the point of an automatic bind in the first place? Is there no way I can use some of what the automatic bind gave me? For my model most of it needs painted manually but the bind actually did a good job on the hands, so it's kinda annoying that I'm going to have to go them again manually.

  2. 3:33 I notice that the leg`s influence is surprisingly far down. I`d love a video on which verts to paint, and how to wrap your head around it. Also like you mentioned, a bone tutorial would be very nice! (if you find the time)

  3. lol omg yes I think I understand it so much more now thank you I been trying to do it like the 2014 essentails book says to and ripping my hair out for 5 days to now see I've been doing this all backwards. I posting this vid for my class!

  4. Tutorial was great. This is just what I was looking for. Weight painting is such a pain! You made my life so much easier now. Thank you! Btw I laughed so hard when you just ripped his head off at the end xD
