Remove Weighting
-
Hi Dr Sassi,
I'm trying to rig the spine of a book to open using joints and weighting.
I've painted in some weights with the Weight Tool and intend to smooth it out. But there's a few weighted points I'd like to set back to 0 weighting as they poke out when adjusting the joints - but no matter what I do I just cant seem to remove the weighting with the weight brush.
I tried many different modes - I would think subtract mode, or setting absolute mode to 0 and painting would work but it doesnt seem to do anything on the points, sometimes it even adds to the weighting. I also thought holding CTRL and painting would work which is what Chat GPT recommended - but it doesnt work.
Do you know what the steps would be to remove the weghting on the wrong points by painting?
Here's my file so far: https://we.tl/t-6lejxCn0rX
Thanks again!

Hi MaverickMongoose,
When you open the Weight Manager> Commands, uncheck: Auto Normalization.
Select the points on the object you like to have without any Joint influence (in the Weigh Manager> Weight> Edition, press the Zero button)
Not that I would recommend this one "bone" set up, but as you asked for here it is:
