Nice one johnar

I've often found myself with the weight brush trying to paint all the vertices nearest to the bone with the 100% influence.  I guess there must be times when a vertex is influenced by two or more bones but I've never experimented with this.

Is there anyway to use the area select tool to apply a painted weight? That would make the process a lot quicker.

Great video :)

True, tho can't really think of example at the moment. I've found using 100% influence works for most situations, but in saying that, i do remember Changing the strength of the brush at times in the past and the influence was shared as expected.

 It sure would. Good idea.
 Mind you, if you set the radius to max of 50, it does cover a decent area in one hit.

 Thanks for your thoughts and comments.  Happy Anim8oring.

Nice tutorial, johnar! Your humor is always a delight!

AlecJames: Good idea. I'll see if I can add an area select capabilitie to the bone influence tool in the future.
