Currently, I'm running test using a small spore tail. I apply weights and when I try to connect using two bones. I get this error "Weights could not be computed". I read something about the bones not being able to computed if they intersect; but, I don't think that I am doing so in my small drawing. Also, please note that the weights currently being shown in the photo have been manually adjusted. I couldn't figure out how to make them compute however.
Nevermind, I figured out why it wasn't properly working. Please excuse this topic.
