The easiest way to fix this is instead of painting zero with that leg joint paint a 100 % with the joint in that problem area like hip or back leg accordingly.&nbsp;</P><P>If its not clear for you then let me know.</P><P>Happy Rigging&nbsp;<img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P> Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:05:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/issue-with-painting-skin-weights/m-p/7711729#M18731 gautham.chandran47 2018-01-23T07:05:42Z
