    Not bad! One small point - weight painting is vertex based, so knowing that makes it a little easier. With the main body being a cube - all you gotta do is aim for the corners. 😃

    For something like this, I'd just select the entire cube in weight paint and hit shift + k to just paint the whole thing. Covers all surfaces of the faces selected with bleeding over so the mesh doesn't have speration during movements

    @@TheInnerWorlds i did this the following way with weight painting so the square streched and squashed. I gave eash bone a bit of the square. Like the shoulder blades moved the top part of the square and the hips the lower while the spine bone moved the middle part. I tried painting the whole square but I found during the animation it was lacking the strecth and squash i liked.

    Thank you this got me going! The auto-weights for me were the hardest part. They were going nutso. It was one of 2 things I think. A) I did not have the transforms applied on the CubeMan mesh prior to parenting the rig. B) I had a lot of overlap in the arms/legs and the main body. Apparently that causes issues with auto-weighting according to this one lone post I read somewhere.
