Paint Weight Skin resetting

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

When I paint skin weights to one joint and proceed to another joint, the skin weight changes automatically. No matter how many times I do, it changes.

I have tried to set down the max. influences, unlocked the joints in the paint weight tool editor, even tried a new rig, but nothing worked. Please help.

Be sure that "Maintain Max Influences" is disabled in the skinCluster.  It causes a lot of problems.

I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. Sorry

I actually found the reason somehow through various tutorials, it is due to an option called normalization. I disabled it and worked, the weights didn't change but if I paint now, the mesh just pops out... I cannot explain... I have attached an imageNotice the hand on other side... if i paint here, the mesh moves like this

@zewt can u please help me...

if you try to set weights of this region to null when there are no other influences, it will attach it to some other joint.
