optimal weights for IT gloves

[DOG-ZEBRA 0]

so far i have avoided using IT .chrs in max because i hate the way the gloves look(wrist deformities). if anyone has a cobination of weights that make the gloves look presentable i would really appreciate the input.

I weight the entire glove as being part of the hand only, and then I tweak the inside of the wrist, so that it conforms to the arm, and doesn't go through the forearm.

i remember weighing the whole glove as part of the hand once and it changed the way the fingers form their grip, yes no?

i mean L or R hand not hand end

The entire glove should be tagged as 'hand end'. If you tag it as 'hand' it will actually be part of the forearm.

i just selected every vert. -twist and up- and using the hand end envelope gave it a weigth of 1 and then with the same envelope adjusted the wrist to about a .8 or so and it looks great. i think my confussion may come from not using the right max termenology.

-thanks, very helpfull.
