In need of a riggers help!

DavidQ · Apr 2018

To anyone with rigging experience, I need your help.
I'm working on an animation with this rig and I'm having issues bending the fingers.
Whenever I bend the fingers on the right hand the mesh gets all deformed.

I know nothing about rigging and it would be a huge help if someone could inform me on how to fix this.
-Thanks!

It looks like the skin weights have gone all fucky. It could be the joints not following the controllers but since they're hidden... it's hard to say...

Yep, the bones are following the controllers so it's not a rig issue, it's the skin weights.

Right click the mesh and choose "Paint Skin Weights Tool". You might be able to fix it by going into select mode, select the messed up verts, and hit the hammer icon. That probably won't fix it 100% but it will get it a lot closer. From there you just have to fix them using the paint mode.

If the Skinning works on one side of the character you might be able to mirror the skin weighting.
