In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Paint weights won't show up

I have a rig set up to my model, I select my model then I select the paint skin weights tool and the black and white influences don't show up on my model.

Thanks for the help!

More info would help to diagnose the problem .... how did you bind your rig , is it smooth skin?
How are you selecting the paint weights tool (Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Paint Skin Weights Tool) ?
Did you delete the history before binding the skin ( you need to have no history)?

I bound my rig with the joint tool and smooth bind, I've selected it by Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Paint Skin Weights Tool and also by selecting it in the animation self. To Delete history do I select my model before I bind the skin to the joint, then go to edit>Delete by type>History? If so, then yes I did.
