Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

painting weights messes up previous painted joints

Hi people,

Using Maya since 2011 but just recently got into rigging.
I need to rig a simple packaging box and I'm using the Skin Paint Weight feature on Maya but every time that I paint a joint's weight, if I go ahead and check the previous one back, it gets completely different and messed up. I'm painting each joint again and again with zero results

I tried to lock each joint that doesn't need to be painted, as well as reducing the max influences. Nothing has worked out so far user added image
Does anybody have any suggestion on why this is happening?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I just joined this site. Did you ever figure out what the issue was?
I figure you need to set the painting to "add" as it's probably on "replace".
