skinning
previously i was able to smooth bind with no problem, but i am not sure if i change any setting, smooth bind does not work as intended , when i create a cylinder and create 3 joints. I then smooth bind and move the middle joint.
by right the cylinder will bend in the middle like a elbow bending, but it doesnt bend anymore , instead it rotates about the joint 1
( pls see my picture )
can any1 offer any solution , i have already reseted my smooth bind settings
thks in advance

if you put some subdivisions into the height of the cylinder, that'll sort your problem. An object will only flex where it is able, it's simple if you imagine the subdivisions as creases that will allow movement, the more creases, the smoother the movement.
Take it easy,

Painting skin weights is how you edit the influence a joint has on the mesh. If you're getting deformation around the head of your model when you move the shoulder, you need to correct it with the Paint Skin Weight tool.

But sometimes it seems to have no effect and it goes back to normal as soon as I get out of the tool. How do I fix that?Originally posted by happymat27
You appear to have sorted it in the time it took me to make the image, I'll post it anyway.
