How do I make 2 sets of joints affect the same mesh

I am trying to make 2 sets of joints equally affect a mesh and I cannot find out how to do so, an example of what I'm talking about would be the file attached https://mega.nz/#!w7I2FI4C!jD54aWNgXzQZe5lNNuwRxQYggKxiLW4mjnexpCULzCk

Hi!

You can assign multiple skeletons/joints to the same mesh, that's not a problem.

If you want some sort of blending instead:

One way would be to create 2 separate objects with individual skeletons and use them as Blend Shapes.

when I try to bind the second skeleton I get the error message that appears here

Hi!

You can not bind a second one later, use Unbind Skin and then Bind Skin both at the same time.

Simply add it in it's history, use a script to get it under or above the older skin cluster!

YOU CAN HAVE TWO SKIN CLUSTERS ON 1 MESH VERY EASILY
