Tihs is such a good way to do this, I was messing around before, painting the weight, moving it, painting, moving, and it took forever, and I still never got it right! thanks so much!

I see you are painting the white weights on to but never taking any weights off, how do u do that

UT3 Rig, huh?

Hey, do you have to subdivide or split up low poly and high poly into layers in order to skin properly or can you just skin your low rez mesh FIRST, and then smooth it a few times to get a weighted higher res?

@ChimeraProd It might work Smoothing it after painting the weights. But I would just set your model to the poly count you want, then paint it. Complication might happen smoothing after painting it.
