I am following the tutorial provided <A href="https://www.3dtotal.com/tutorial/1838-maya-rigging-introduction-to-rigging-a-human-torso-by-jahirul-amin-body-animation?page=2" target="_blank">here</A>&nbsp;and I am working on the step where you skin the curve to the IK joints. However, when I try to use mc.bindSkin(), I keep getting an error (Error: RuntimeError: file [directory]/maya/2016.5/scripts\createRigSpine.py line 200: Maya command error). It's too late right now to for me to do much experimenting, but I was hoping someone could help me, or tell me if I'm using the wrong commands.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><BR />mc.select(crvSpine, ikMidSpine, ikChest)</P><P>mc.bindSkin(crvSpine, ikMidSpine, ikChest, tsb=True)</P><P>(have also tried mc.bindSkin() and mc.bindSkin(tsb=True))</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Ideally, I want the settings to be:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Bind To: Selected Joints<BR />Bind Method: Closest Distance<BR />Skinning Method: Classic Linear<BR />Normalize Weights: Interactive</P> Wed, 06 Sep 2017 04:07:35 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/python-bindskin-problem/m-p/7357036#M20412 Peteman12 2017-09-06T04:07:35Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/python-bindskin-problem/m-p/7360133#M20413 <P>Apparently,&nbsp;I'm better off using skinCluster rather than bindSkin.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Oh well, I'm relatively new to these sorts of commands.</P> Thu, 07 Sep 2017 02:04:59 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/python-bindskin-problem/m-p/7360133#M20413 Peteman12 2017-09-07T02:04:59Z
