Need help Rigging > Skin deforming errors.

DataDragon

Hi, I'm not sure how to resolve this error. Can anyone explain to me what's happening here? When I move the right shoulder, the left side moves at the same time... I am editing smooth skins property in the component editor selecting vertices and changing smooth skin values...

Can you paint weights

Okay, so I just detached the skin and then did another smooth bind and this was my original problem.

Paint weights? I'll look into that. Can you tell me more?

I cant tell what software you are using but it looks like you have the problem you get when using envelopes that have not been edited. I never use envelopes, just weight the verts properly. The ones that have unwanted movement should be weighted to the chest bone. Check if there are tutorials for skining characters in the software you are using.

The technical form here is the best place for solving problems like the one you have.

Are you using Maya? It looks like Maya.

You need to Paint Weights to correct the deformations.

In Maya, in your Animation Panel go to:

Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Paint Skin Weights Tool

That allows you to paint influences on the mesh for each joint. Lookup some tutorials to get you started.
