greetings,
ok, I hope I make sense…I am currently weighting a dog mesh to an advances quadruped rig. I’ve bound it to the mesh and know I’m painting in the joint weights now. everything was going smoothly except after I animated a limb to see how my weighting looks, I go to point mode to loop select and my mesh seems to no longer be influenced by the joints( the joints are animated but no longer is the mesh bonded) I go Bach to object mode and the mesh moos just fine. my question is , how to I get my mesh to move along with the joints while I ‘m in points mode and using the weight manager. Bret Bays’s weighting tutorials, he was able to have his mesh move with the joints in point mode.
thank you for your time.

Hi Rodrigo,

Try the following:

In the editor view, Menu: Options>Configure All

Go then to the Attribute Manager and to the Tab: Display

There is a checkbox for “Deformed Editing” switch that on.

Let me know if that worked for you, Check the clip in the link (one minute long and you can download it)
