I'm using 3d studio 5. I get this error when trying to export my model.

vertex 1710 missing weight on skin "BODYmesh2"

What could be the problem?

Ok I didn't get the joke but does anyone have anything useful to say? No but seriously I have no more hair left on my sac from tearing it all out.

If means that you have a vertex on your skin mesh that is not assigned to any bone, and thus will not be connected to the motion of the mesh.

Make sure that all you verts are connected to your skeleton - an easy way to do this is to move the skeleton and see which verts of the skin are left behind - but be sure to undo that movement once you do it.

I was just going to say that....




Next century when I got a clue, lol.

Thanks Alex, I had been racking my brain trying to come up with an explanation or some clues for him. I was on the right track, but not much closer to seeing the solution.

Thanks Alex. That seemed to have solved the issue.
