It won't let me remove weight paint

For some reason when I bring my weight down to 0 and try to paint it doesn’t change anything. But then when I bring it back up it will change it.

  • remove the weight paint data using the panel and do automated weight painting again.
  • For each bone, there will be a weight paint data block, are you sure you are working on the correct weight paint data?

You need to have strength set 1. If you’re using a drawing tablet then temporarily turn off pressure for strength.

To expand a bit on what @Dwayne said, don’t confuse Strength for Weight. I ran into exactly the same problem before I realized there were two separate sliders up there!

yeah so I found the solution. Sorry for the late reply. So what happened was that my weight paint brush was set to “add” instead of “Draw”. This took a moment of fiddling with before I found that out because I wasn’t even aware that the weight paint had different brushes.
