Quote - In Maya, the rigging's joints are the controllers. The weight map defines which vertices are affected by a joint's rotation and how much they are affected.
You're still not answering the question. Imagine you're a computer, not a human. Computers can't "see". You have a pile of 70,000 vertices. Which ones are affected by the neck, for example, if there are no groups?
You said the weight map defines which vertices are affected. That means it has a true-false for each vertex? In other words, every map has something to say about every vertex?
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
