I’m back from a bit of a Hiatus in blender… Which really sucks forgetting things i learned in blender xD
Which layer were the deformation bones on that i’m suppose to be weight painting my mesh to?
Also my rig appears purple in weight paint mode if i have the rig selected… i don’t remember that happening before. is that new?
Seems to be the 3rd to last one on the bottom of the top right set of layers in the object data panel.
Still not sure on the purple thing though. must be just displaying that the object is in weight paint viewing mode but is not currently selected.
The purple means the bone you have selected isn’t weight painted at all. This happens when you select the any bones other than DEF bones.
