If you did that and it still doesn't work, you can try and scale everything by x1000, apply transforms and then use automatic weights, because your mesh might be too dense for the automatic weight calculations to be done so it needs to be bigger. Then you can scale everything down after you're done
Once again a random Indian guy helped me fix my problem while others could not. Thanks for the fix, I had been trying to fix it 2-3 hours before this, and no methods worked except this one
I have been wrestling with this rig for hours. the model itself is split into multiple parts and even after joining them all together, it was still spitting out the same error when I tries to parent it to the rig. My brother your solution worked perfect for me and you have saved my backside. I am extremely grateful and you have gained another subscriber! Thank you thank you thank you!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! I was struggling with my high poly model because i'm a beginner and i was about to give up on my tutorial but this ACTUALLY worked!!
Didn't work for me in Blender 3.3 with some random free model, so I found out I can do this: Select object > Edit Mode > Mesh > Clean Up > Decimate Geometry > Set Ratio to 0.980 Do the parenting as usual. Hopefully it helps someone!
You solved it for me sir! I almost gave up but the tip at the end where you change the merge distance from .0001m to .001m made the difference. By the way, I didn't have to delete any vertex groups. Thar seemed a little extreme and was unnecessary in my case. Thank you!
You save my life, I have been trying to fix this problem for hours, but when you changed the merge settings by deleting a Zero. THAT change it everything. Thak you very much!!!!!!!!!!
AAAH, thank you for adding that last bit to the video! I came across this solution a few places but had no luck. Turns out I just needed to decrease the merge distance. You're a life saver!
Cheers bud, it really helped me out... I had to continue to merge by distance for a while, just enough where the model still looked intact, and the bones by weight would finally work... I think I ended up using something like a 0.0019. Also, do not forget to constantly repeat the "Clean Up > Loose" + Dissolve.. basically, trial and error... but I got there with your help, so thanks again
Stellar! This helped me save a model, quad remesh was simply taking off too much detail for my liking, this saves a loooot of tedium for me remodeling. Thank you kindly!
THANK YOU! in my case i think i just had to convert the object to mesh and merge (it removed around 2k verticles) and it worked! finally, after following many tutorials I'm finally able to do such a simple thing! thanks!
Thank you so much for this, I'm new to blender and I was following a tutorial on rigging and when it kept acting different from the tutorial, it almost made me quit but thanks to you, the blender grind shall continue :3
BRO I LITERALLY LOVE YOU! You helped me so much omg! You did such an amazing job cramping it down to 4 minutes as well. I've watched hours and hours and HOURS... of videos and none of them has helped. But your video came out on top! Thank you so much this helped a ton❤
My hero, I am overjoyed and happy, when you where like this is my promise to you I was like yea yea, but the promise delivered super happy just subbed :) .
thanks alot bro, at 0.0001 merged 5.8k vertices but still had the issue, then i made 0.0002 and it removed additional broken 295 vertices that was hidden inside the body. then the Rig worked fine :D
everybody is so happy while I'm here staring at my monitor screen after finishing my rig working on it 16 hours a day nonstop for 9 days then deciding to change the leg model to something else and encountering this error making me realise I have to re do all of the naming seperating and the facial animations for it to not work again

Had a problem with my meshes, but your solution fixed my issues.
Thanks, based Indian guy.
I can't express how much helpful was that 4 minutes video. It supposede to be on a blender manual ❤

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
I was struggling with my high poly model because i'm a beginner and i was about to give up on my tutorial but this ACTUALLY worked!!
you are an absolute legend, it fixed everything so far. With every other tutorial I just kept deleting 0 vertices
Thanks!
GUYS, JUST SCALE YOUR CHARACTER AND RIG TOGETHER, IT WORKED FOR ME! (sometimes the scale is so small that the rig bugs)
this worked for me, thanks!
OMG THANKS!!
@@fl4mm3 No problem! i'm glad that worked for you!
Thankz man 👍👍
thanks so much man
Still having the same issue!!

bro thank you very much for your comment
Thanks alot man
Thanks man, that helped a ton!
Useless comment, didn't help, nothing in the internet can help me
ALSO! If it still doesn't work (was my case lol) just scale up your model, apply scale and parent again. IT WORKS

This is a bit random to say but here I am, the person that made the like-count 1000, But thank you so much for this fix!
This makes me so incredibly happy! I've been running around in circles trying to figure out what was wrong with my mesh. Thank you so much!
2 years later and you still prove to be useful thank you so much man
It worked! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Your exact instructions fixed my issue. Merge by distance .0019 fixed it. I had to slightly resize my mesh but that’s ok.

The repetition finally worked !! Success :) Thank you!!!!

If this still doesn't work for you, go into edit mode, go to:

This worked for me - thanks for suggesting this
