Proper animation deformation

Ne0nfire · Dec 2014

Hi, I'm about to rig a character in maya and I just tested out how the mesh deforms on different spots like the knee, ankle and surprise it deforms not so well even though I've added edge loops to these spots.

My question is now: How do I fix this that it deforms without moving the geometry? (dunno how to explain)

You need to skin the mesh and weight areas. I don't know maya as I'm a Max user so cant help there but look around and I'm sure you'll find what you need

Ah, I know what you mean. I'll try that.

Edit: I think It's working way better now:
