Rigging model fucks up

[Vestras]

Ok, so I've been rigging my model (Max 2009 - Skin modifier), but it just won't 'add' the correct vertices!

Take a look at the bones Bone_Head, Bone_Neck, Bone_Gun1 and Bone_Gun2 - the head and neck bones should be modifying the 'head' and the gun bones should ONLY be modifying the two guns.

I've attached the model.
PS: excuse me if it's something obvious, I'm new to 2009 animating...

few people have max 2009, so that scene is most likely unloadable.

I suggest you to speak of your problem and post screenies.

Take a look then:

you only linked some vertices to it, you must link all the ones you need.

That's what I do, but it still manipulates the red ones I didn't select too...

thaty's because when you add bones, it automatically assigns near vertices. Select those which you don't want, set their weight to 0 and then remove-zero values.

You could also try compacting the envelopes to nothing, so you make saure that they don't affect your model. Afterwards, reload the model scene.

thanks, the first one worked... +rep (sorry, must spread)
