Weight Only Selected Bones in Blender

[@miffedcrew8868]

This approach really helped a ton. I struggle with weight painting a lot, so I've been managing the distance by altering the positions of bones and objects when assigning automatic weights. It is a very tedious workflow for me that doesn't always work. But your advice on assigning the weights for a specific selected bone is a game changer. Thank you for this very helpful tip!

[@lucianomunoz]

Glad it helped!

Oh luciano, you might know this, but I found this quick tip for restrict all the geometry to one bone specifically. You select the group of your geo you want, press ctrl+g remove from all group already parented, then ctrl+g assign to active group (selected vertex group) And only the bone will be weighted with no other influence ^^ Do you think it is good for a workflow

[@lucianomunoz]

I mean that sounds great but if you have other influences in that object like if you create vertex groups for use with modifiers or some simulations I'm guessing it would break them?, Im not saying its wrong or a bad workflow, Im just saying it might fit some particular cases and some others it probably wont :)

@@lucianomunoz Will you ever be making a series on how to create an ik rig that also works with rokoko mocap? Seems the only tutorial online for an IK rig that works with rokoko use child of modifiers on the IK Bones which isn't very useful if I want to use animation layers on just one rig

[@julianrisiglione1658]

Well, actuallly, there is a feature that makes a difference between if the bones deforms or not (you select the bone, and go control+W or shift + w, then select the deform option and disable or enable it)

[@lucianomunoz]

yup, this is different.

hi, hope you must do well. One query I have like in cloud_rig I added cloud_copy rig as a new rig to modify something or add some extra bones to control the weight area of the human character so, I added with new bone with Shift+A but like other bone, I cannot able to selected weight paint of that newly created bone? I added a new vertex group and assigned the weight also but cannot able to use that new bones as actually deforming the mesh area which is influenced by a weight of 1.0. So, any suggestion from your side..?

[@jhonrincon7280]

Thank you. I have a question: I have Vertex groups ready (Weight Paint) and Armature parenting to Object with Armature Deform, how can I linking the specific bone to specific Vertex groups without modify or change my Vertex groups or Weight paints?. For Example I have two vertex groups (LeftDoor, RightDoor) and two bones (Door_L, Door_R), I only want link the LeftDoor vertex group to Door_L bone and RightDoor vertex group to RightDoor bone. Help me please

[@lucianomunoz]

change the name of the vertex group to match the name of the bone or vice versa

[@alonsogonzalez7539]

This felt exactly like what I needed, I am trying to rig a hairstyle into am armature that has some specific bones for braids that I want to omit from the weighting, but for some reason this isn't working for me. I'm using a rigify model so i'm looking at the bones on the last layer, but following these steps it simply does not create a vertex group when I click the assign automatic from bones option. What could it be? EDIT: And I answered my own question! I was on the wrong layer!

i think that I have the same issue, can you clarify the layer issue for me plz ? thx

This doesn't work unfortunately, disabling lock object modes and paint masks and vertex selection also doesn't solve the problem. Because when switching to weight paint, the rig automatically switches to object mode

Yeah I think they've changed a bit how this interactions work in the newer versions

​@@lucianomunoz Really? I thought you were Brazillian hsahushauuh Thanks.

[@Deathend]

Oh christ. I just figured out my problem. First off, disable Edit > Lock Object Mode. SECONDLY.. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE ARMATURE THE ACTIVE OBJECT WHEN PARENTING IT TO THE MESH. AFTER THAT, THE MESH HAS TO BE THE ACTIVE OBJECT TO GET INTO WEIGHT PAINT MODE. Jesus christ. I don't know if I should be mad or embarrassed lol

Weird.

[@benfriger]

after rifigy you need to: 1.- select layer deformations bones and all lines of rigify 2.- go to object mode and select mesh and lines (rigify) 3.- crtl + p and create automatic weights 4.- go to pose mode, deselect object block in edit 5.- select mesh from windows items list 6.- go to weight mode 7.- now you can select with control ctrl + click (rembember to hide armature bones, just need deformation bones and lines control to move while painting ) hope to help..
