Hi,
I've been working on the envelope weights for a fairly simple model and I am hitting a problem where the smooth weight paint tool seems to have no effect at all. The mesh had weights originally set up by automatic enveloping using inclusion/exclusion/limit volumes, and I need to tweak the values. I can paint the weights using Abs and Add. Reveal shows grey while I'm painting but reverts back to what it was. The problem is that Smooth and Erase don't seem to do anything at all (I'm really just interested in smooth). Opacity is at 100, the mesh is selected and the weight panel is visible. I expect I'm just doing something obviously wrong, but after spending way too much time trying everything I can think of and getting nowhere I have to ask if anyone might have an idea what silly thing I'm overlooking here? I just want to hit the smooth button and smooth a few weights (not the 'apply smooth' command to selected points but I'll probably resort to that if I can't figure out this seemingly trivial feature); I've done it plenty of times in the past and I'm not sure why it is failing now. Already tried restarts, freezing, time on Google, disconnecting the wacom, and banging my head on the wall a few times.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Eric Cosky
