bruh i started w a bad comm on the other vid, i see you posted this vid to correct it so i respond to my first comm and change my mind, and now i see you do the "i record myself for ten minutes saying HUEM every 2 SECONDS and not editing anything at all" like wtf, stop playing with us and just do a legit tuto if you want to do vids idk ??
@@_Washing_Machine_ i'm 12 bc i don't like when vids are botched ? i was mad bc of the double emotional shift, usually i would not care and just take the help so yeah the editing is really bad, tho the tuto himself is good
@@Yami_3D sorry I should have said it nicer I searched for a super long time to finally come across your first video into this one, I got sick of it, you're good
@@_Washing_Machine_ what ? and i swear it's not that hard buddy u will get it dw for me it was the Floatharr tutorial that helped me a looot, now i know what i do
i really like the way you presented this! makes me feel way less pressured to get the rig done immediately by conceptualizing it as, like... actual PAINTING. this approach is way less frustrating than the automatic weights too-you probably saved me like a month's worth of headaches, tbh! 🙃
After watching about a hundred videos on youtube, Finally I found this one. And after trying and error pause and runs a hundred times, step by step when watching this video (and the other of your video about weight painting for dress and character). Now I understand the process step by step and it works very easy! Thank you so much. You safe my life! Tip: I ticked the "Front Faces Only" under Tool > Advanced This make my weight painting easier.
Omg you're back with another blessing!! I love your tutorials so much, they are always so informational yet so easy to follow and understand and you always teach or show something that other tutorials never mention.
As a beginner, these concepts are hard to grasp but I’m on my third time watching and I think I’m finally starting to understand. Thank you for the tips!
Thank you. FYI, you can use Blender functionality to 'PaintThrough', you don't need the addon for that. BrushSettings>Advanced, check front faces only, and BrushSettings>Falloff click Projected.
Ayo! Thanks for the weight painting tutorial! I'm in the middle of rigging a character's face and figured that it would be good to research weight painting while I took a break. I'm glad I found you and your videos! I think they'll help me out, especially with the mouth. (Also, I thought I was tripping when I saw the sus imagery show up for a split sec. Even better, the majority of the comments don't say anything about it, which added to the delusion I felt. Anyway, that shit is hilarious!🤣 Keep doing it!)
Super nice. I never knew how to weight paint in Blender. Its such a useful thing to know too. Cause sometimes I do 2D animations with basically planes with verts. (Think scuffed live2D as idea) In theory, its very possible to do simple animations just for fun but it was extremely frustrating when every tutorial just uses automatic weights. Which is possible with 2D planes, but you'd have to have a perfectly aligned axis (X, Y or Z) and hope it works. (And have huge spacing between the planes) This ignores all the pain points and is way simplier in general.
General process I use is: -duplicate mesh -delete unweighted half of new mesh -add mirror modifier to new mesh -project weights onto original mesh There’s other methods and probably plug-ins out there that’ll automate it but that’s what I use
@@Yami_3D Ahh cool, thanks a lot. I'm trying to fix the weight painting on something and after so much hassle where it just didn't seem to work I decided to redo the whole thing from scratch and it's actually quite fun
Great tutorial!...quick question i am new doing this...what about the right side of the weights? should i repeat the same process or there is an automatic way to mirror without affect something?
@@AntonioPetitDesign imo the best way to mirror vertex weights is to duplicate your mesh, delete the right side, then add a mirror modifier and transfer the weights to your original. This method means if your topology is asymmetrical it still mirrors. There are other methods but that’s the one I default to.
Parenting a mesh to an armature adds an armature modifier to your mesh. Empty groups means that blender doesn't automatically assign any vertex weights. If this all sounds new then I'd recommend finding a more beginner friendly tutorial
I still can't select different bones in weight paint mode, and I don't wanna have to select them in the vertex groups panel, literally been looking this up for days and still can't figure it out, ctrl, shift, or alt left click is just not working for me, like what the hell is going on!!!?
Could you start with showing how you even got to that point. I dont have the mesh or the ability to move bones while painting, and it is insanely frustrating. I get that there is a certain level of skill expected, but a complete guide should also explain the setup or at the very least explain it is not a beginner tutorial.
This is a tutorial on weight painting not on how to set up an armature. If that’s foreign to you then you probably shouldn’t be on a video on weight painting and should look into some more general beginner rigging. Dikko has a good beginners rigging course so check that out if you’re unfamiliar with armatures
i have a problem if anyone can tell me why this is. i have a root bone in my rig, and as i continue weight painting the rest of the bonest, the root bone seem to stop affecting parts of my mesh, like they just stay in position as i move the root around
@@Yami_3D they are, im thinking It must not have automatically normalized the weight because i started with automatic weights, which worked fine for the root initially, but then for some other bones i painted the parts of the mesh to 0 and those were the parts that broke
Go into object mode, select your rig, shift+select mesh, go to weight paint mode, ctrl+shift+select on a bone to choose a bone and it's associated vertex group, use r to rotate selected bones while u weight paint. The way I undo transformations to the bones is by going to pose mode and clearing all transformations then repeating the steps above, but I'm sure there's an easier way
Omg I'm so happy to see you've made another one of these weight paiting vids, I was weighpaiting a torso and I remembered your arm vid so I came back to see if you posted another and BEHOLD! JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

Cleaning up automatic weights is an intractable nightmare, this makes SO much more sense. Thank you for your service. Also the gay stuff is a plus
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn so much! Good to have you back.
great video it so hard to find good weight painting tutorials

Hi @Yami 3D : Blur tool is not working for me when parented with empty groups. Could you help me plssss?
I have a issue with my model, i used automatic weight and my model has a vest and has weight paint on the inside of it where i can’t take it off
I noticed when you lock groups you only do it on one side, without x axis mirroring on - how do you symmetrise the weights when you're done?
General process I use is:
-duplicate mesh
-delete unweighted half of new mesh
-add mirror modifier to new mesh
-project weights onto original mesh
There’s other methods and probably plug-ins out there that’ll automate it but that’s what I use

What are you selecting at 5:17? What am I "setting parent to", and what does "with empty groups" mean?

Masterclass in how to not lose your mind in Blender
This helped alot thank you.
Thanks bro ❤️
but, i still dont know how to select bones in weight painting mode. Which means i can not even start painting.
5:53 “ctrl and shift to select bones” and make sure your armature is selected along with your mesh
At 6:51, how do you change the draw and blur brushes that fast?
Click to draw, shift click to smooth in blender 4.0 onwards
Thankssss Bro
I still can't select different bones in weight paint mode, and I don't wanna have to select them in the vertex groups panel, literally been looking this up for days and still can't figure it out,
ctrl, shift, or alt left click is just not working for me, like what the hell is going on!!!?
Think it’s Ctrl shift left click for blender 4.0
this will be very helpful.. thanks
My entire bone structure is weight painting the entire model and I don't know how to make it only paint one bone at a time
Thankyou. it's very helpful

How do you do the continuous edge loop selection shown in 10:17
Ctrl + and - to expand and shrink selection
make more video please
4:24 😮
No one's gonna talk about wtf this image was in 4:24
Ugh doesn't even have keyboard indicators on the screen, how is it possible to pose the model while in weight paint mode?
Go into object mode, select your rig, shift+select mesh, go to weight paint mode, ctrl+shift+select on a bone to choose a bone and it's associated vertex group, use r to rotate selected bones while u weight paint. The way I undo transformations to the bones is by going to pose mode and clearing all transformations then repeating the steps above, but I'm sure there's an easier way
When you don’t know a hot key for something, read the manual. It exists for a reason.
