Does that mean if you rig a biped from scratch, you still can't use Blitz? You could rig a mechanical biped with it, since a mechanical biped wouldn't need a skin modifier.

Ignore it, and push OK. All that means, is that more than two bones have control over the same vertex. And since it has been rigged by Bungie, I would suggest leaving it the way they have it. if that does happen, set bone effect limit to 2 in each skin modifier's advanced properties rollout, then test the biped by rotating it's nodes and fix whatever weights need fixing.

Set that way obviously for a reason. Quote: --- Original message by: Mythril ... ; I imported an elite model rigged, and edited it, rerigged to the edits. By re-rigged to the edits, I assume he means he made a new skin modifier for it, since it's an elite, not a droid. His rig, not Bungies.
