Very clear teaching technique. Thanks so much for this. Precise, to the point and I highly recommend these videos!

Much appreciated!

I tried to do the method with automatic weight. The point is that for this method, all painting layers must be merged together.
When I click the Generate Rigs, this connection does not exist and it is only works in the state before generating rig
