<![CDATA[Skin weight fbx export issue]]>Hi!

I have a simple object with a simple rig and painted weight. It works fine in C4D. I can move the top of the cone with the proper joint as it's in the top of the picture.
But if I export it to FBX and open C4D or other program like Unreal the weight is messed up.
What do I do wrong?

here is the shot

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the file.

The main rule for anything joint-based is that each point on the mesh needs a total of 100.00% Weighting from all Joints. Not more, not less. While some export options limit the number of Joints "working on a point."
Why 100%?
If you move the root and the points have more than 100%, it moves faster; if it has less, it moves slower. When a point has a summary of 100%, all is fine.

In the file from above, only one joint influenced the mesh. At the same time, most points were below 100%.

Perhaps even export your FBX and reload it to see if it works for you.

Cheers

Here is my exploration:

Would you mind sharing the c4d file here so I can take a look?

All the best
