Trouble skinning a dog in Maya

bybyle

Hello,

I'm trying to rig a dog, as I dont find any good auto rigger. But I've some pain skinning it all. My only skin problem is at the legs, where the belly part comes with the leg when i move it. 
But my problem is that everytime I try to paint the skin where there're bad white on a joint, if I unselect it and reselect it, everything that I removed from the joint just reappeard over and over again.

How does this thing work? 

Thanks a lot

Hi!

Thare are tons of autoriggers out there if you google "maya quadruped autorigger"

I can recommend:

advanced skeleton

and rapid rig modular.

But there are plenty of those as i said.

Maya paint skin weights can be a pain in the butt sometimes. You should always "add" and not to use "replace" at all.

Anyhow.. You should try ngskin instead https://www.ngskintools.com/

I'm using it and i don't even think about native tool anymore.

Hope that helps.
