hi! I'm fairly new to Cinema4D, though I've learned a decent amount now I just can not find my way around this issue, despite much trial and error and lots and lots of forum digging... this is my last resort, making my own post and hoping I can get the right answer for my problem =(... I'm going to post pictures of my project along with a description of whats happening so you can see what I'm seeing and understand whats going on.
The Problem:
I've fully jointed my models body, (have not finished the face yet, trying to solve this issue first). The joints have been bound, and the auto weighting did its job well for the hands and a few other areas, but for the most part, it needs to be fixed and the wrong areas are getting pulled with movement.
So of course fixing it involves changing how its weighted right? Well =/ when I go to the weight tool, (while I'm in object mode, and I have the correct object selected), all I see are the multicolor vertices. I dont see any black and white, or the multicolor effect, like I've seen in tutorials... and I have absolutely no idea why this is =(
I've gone through my display settings, nothing seems to be off there.. could it be my render settings somehow?
Also when I click on my objects "Subdivision Surface Weight Tag", all it is, is this blue texture taking the place of my material...? I've never seen anyone click on the tag so I'm not sure what this is for or if I'm looking in the right area?
I also just went and created a mini model with some joints and the weighting tool is working properly there, colors and all. And when I compare its settings to my original project, there is only one difference, the new simple project doesnt have that weird tag... yet when I delete the tag from my original project it doesnt change anything anyways so that must not be causing it. I can not figure out what the hell is up =;(
This is all the information I have at the moment, if you need anything else please let me know!
And if it would be better to download my project file to be able to fix it let me know that as well =)
Pics:
this is my project as is when I open it, nothings selected or changed
this is my project while using the weight tool in object mode with the model selected =/ still not able to see to be able to paint
This is my projet with that weird tag selected that I mentioned above... still not what i need =(
