Parent bone issue Maya

Wozner

Hello PC.

I am little bit new to Maya, and having maybe dumb question but it's giving a huge headache. I am modelling npc for stalker game, and export gives me such error "can't find parent bone bip01_neck" the problem related to the biped or joint (I guess it's so called in maya) I used to reach Schematic view in max and see connection, but here I am confused. When I detach my skeleton from mesh, and then do Skin -> Bend skin -> Smooth bind, then it looks like working, but then I need to tweak all weights again. Is there any chance to fix that damn parent bone?

With all respect

Can you post a pic of your bone hierarchy. You can easily see this in the outliner, just expand all groupings of the bones.

Sure, here is the hierarchy of bones

make sure you have the bip01_neck as an influence. im not familiar with the stalker export but it might use the skin to check the hierarchy?

I have another version of fbx file and when open it, I see such error:

Try deleting the bindpose node before exporting.
