Particularly when making fringes and bangs, make sure the hair does not go through the face when it moves. Check that when the swing bone hair moves, the inside of the hair geometry or the interior of the mask does not show. It’s important to check on the swing bone’s behavior on the hair item. Please take some precautions when setting swing bones for hair. If the hair mesh is too complex to easily assign weights to each strand of hair, painting weights on a simplified model and transferring weights back to the complex model can help. The hair bones should be arranged in the armature hierarchy according to where the corresponding hair piece exists on the head, so the hair scales properly with other sections of the head. If there are pieces of hair that move on the forehead such as bangs, then it is recommended to connect them to another bone.

Normally, the hair bone is added to the hairAll bone. The swing bone feature is important in hair rigging. ℹ️īelow are common scale values to test common head size changes Otherwise, the weights may not be distributed evenly across the mesh.

Make sure to enable “Auto-Normalize” in the weight paint tools option for weight painting. Test and correct the weight values on the mesh by moving individual joints and fixing weight errors that may crop up with the weight painting tools. You can limit the bone weights per vertex in weight paint mode using the Weights > Limit Total function. 4 bones per vertex is the default in Blender, but it’s good practice to check. Please ensure that the weight per vertex limit does not go over 5. ZEPETO has a maximum skin weight limit of 4 bones per vertex In the expanded options menu at the bottom left of the viewport, change the Source Layers Selection to “By Name.” ❗ In the Weights menu, find and click the Transfer Weights operation.

Select the dummyFace mesh, then the hair object. Armature Deform - With Automatic Groups is also an acceptable option.įor a baseline weight distribution, transfer weights from the dummyFace mesh to the hair objects. Go to the Object menu > Parent > Armature Deform - With Empty Groups. Select the Hair mesh and then the armature.
