How does armature deform parent work in Blender?
The armature will be the parent object of all the other child objects and each child object will have an Armature Modifier with the armature associated ( Object field). When parenting it will create empty vertex groups on the child objects (if they do not already exist) for and named after each deforming bone in the armature.
How does bone parenting work for an armature?
Bone parenting allows you to make a certain bone in an armature the Parent Object of another object. This means that when transforming an armature the Child Object will only move if the specific bone it is the Child Object of moves. Three pictures of armatures with four bones.
How does armature deform parent calculate influence volume?
Works in a similar way to With Automatic Weights. The difference is that the influences are calculated based on the Bone Envelopes settings. It will assign a weight to each vertex group the vertices that is inside its bone’s influence volume, depending on their distance to this bone.
What happens if you parent a cube to an armature?
If you parent the cube to the armature, the cube will get three new vertex groups created on it called “BoneA”, “BoneB” and “BoneC”. Notice that each vertex group is empty. With Automatic Weights parenting works similar to With Empty Groups , but it will not leave the vertex groups empty.
