hello
when i put weight onto the vertices, i often accidentally have bones that are not suppose to influence some vertice, so the animation looks weird, is there a way to find out all the bones influencing a single vertice or maybe delete all influence on a vertice so i can do it more carefully the second time?Yes . In Edit Mode for the mesh, in the Links and Materials panel you should have vertex groups that were created when you parented the armature to the mesh or when you started to weight paint, just select the bone name (vertex groups for armatures are named after bones) from the dropdown list and hit the “Select” button . This will show you all the vertices that the selected bone influences . If you find some that you don’t want to be a part of that group, just select those and hit “Remove” and those vertices will no longer be controlled by that bone .
For future reference you can use the face select mode when you weight paint (hit F while in Weight Paint) to limit the weight painting to selected faces . This can help avoid unintentional weighting to the wrong bone .
These might be helpful. The tooltips tell you what they do.
