Can't paint and modify on weight mode


i can’t paint and remove this wrong painting. I have also these weird dotted line that i don’t see in any tutorial. I’m stuck at this point in a tutorial and it’s very frustrating, please help me it’s been one hour that i try different things to solve this issue.

Which one? Ain’t you missing a tutor saying “Apply” Armature modifier?

Dotted line shows parenting in Armature, N panel → Display->Relationship Lines check-mark
Hope helps.
.

I was speaking about the dotted line on the character (grey dotted lines).

But I’ve solved the issue : when I accidentally used the Select/Circle Select (shortcut C) and it deselect all the mesh (that’s why I wasn’t able to paint) so I reselect the circle select tool and select all (the grey dotted line will be white) and now I can paint and modify.

I just don’t know how to remove these lines but Np.

I have still some problem with the tutorial because he applies mirror modifier to the mesh and then without applying it when he places the armature he can move one arm without moving the other :confused:

Fine you got it. Never thought about Circle select in weight paint mode…

Who in the Earth is “he”? If the link to this tut is not a top military secret and does not lead to some paid courses - share the link. People will try to explain you things based on this particular video. Otherwise even don’t mention what “he” did. Tell what you can’t get working, what you expect and your actions to reach the goal.
Cheers!

I think circle selects can be useful because it prevents to paint on other parts of the body such as the left leg when I want to paint the right leg, unless it exits a technique that I do not know.

yeah ty i’m new to this site and forum generally…
