Hi! I’m using blender 2.73 now. I’m using multi mesh on some bones. I want to ask how to select all the meshes and weight paint them all at once. And How do I select and move the bones when I’m in weight paint mode?
You can’t select multiple meshes and weight paint them at the same time. You can transfer weights from one mesh to another. (this will save you a lot of time.) Select the donor mesh, then the receiver mesh in object mode. Enter Weight Paint Mode and use the Transfer Weights button in the tool shelf.
To move bones in weight paint mode. Select your armature and enter Pose mode first. Make sure your deformation and control bone layers are active. Then select your mesh and enter weight paint mode. You can select either the control bones to move teh mesh or the deformation bones to weight paint.
Good Luck!
even I select the bone then shift select mesh then weight paint mode, it shows that bone is selected. But won’t move. I can only paint weight.
yes… that’s correct…
to move the bone you need to be in pose mode or edit mode…
