  Odd hand glitch

  Posted by Skyler Foxx on April 3, 2009 at 3:37 am

  Hello,

  Right now I am having a problem with rigging a hand. For some odd reason, every time I move a joint that would move the arm or the hand, the hand polygons stretch out and look like spikes. Here is an image to show you what I mean.

  Before moving joints:

  After moving joints:

  How I did the rig was simply making the skeleton and then binding it to the hand. Is there something else I should have done first or any way I could fix this? If anyone has an idea of what to do, I would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks!

  You need to weight the mesh to the joints a little more closely Binding does an Auto Weight and apparently twas not good enough. The points that spike are not weighted to a joint. Use the weight tool and with both the Mesh and Joint selected (only one joint at a time) paint the points you want that joint to effect. Make sure every point is effected by a joint.
