Skinning<\/i><\/span> is the process of creating a connection between a Mesh (the Skin) and a Rig (the Armature). More specifically in the Skinning<\/em> process we connect each bone of the Rig’s Skeleton<\/span><\/em> to each vertex of a mesh, giving a connection strength named bone weight<\/em><\/span>. the weight is a percentage of influence where 0% means the vertex fully ignores the bone’s movement, while 100% means the vertex follows the bone’s movement as if it where glued to the bone.<\/p>\n

The weights of all vertices of a mesh are organized in weight maps with one weight map for each deform bone in the rig. Note that weight maps belong to the Mesh and not to the Armature. this way each mesh object can have its own weight maps. In Blender weight maps technically are Vertex groups.<\/p>\n

In practice, for a polygonal mesh character, each vertex is related only to one or very few bones of the Rig. This means on the contrary that each weight map contains only vertices having weight for the related bone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
