This weeks lab had us going over weight painting.
The process started with flooding the character from the hips, then the bottom of the spine. I then smoothed this to have get rid of creases and unnatural looking elements.
I started by flooding the hips with 1. 
I then locked all other elements aside from Spine_01. I vertex selected the top half of the character and flooded Spine_01 with 1.
After that, I moved onto the left leg.
I started out by vertex selecting the entire left leg and flooded L_Leg_J. 
I then chose the knee and below, flooding L_Knee_J, 
Next I vertex selected the ankle and below, flooding L_Ankle_J. 
Finally, I vertex selected the end the foot and flooded L_Foot_J.
Moving on, I next painted the head and spine.
I started with the left clavicle, I didn’t paint the full arm during this lab, though I did smooth the section so the arm could be raised without deformation. 
Vertex selecting the whole head section, I flooded Neck_J. I then vertex selected only the neck section and smoothed that to prevent deformation when the head is turned. 
Next was the head, I simply highlighted the entire head and flooded Head_J,
Selecting the section and flooding Spine_02, I smoothed it. 
Finally, I selected the upper chest and flooded Spine_03. Smoothing it afterwards.
To replicate the painting I had done on the left side of the character, I used mirror skin weights along the YZ axis.
