Well, i think no. By default, the bones seem to study the
surrounding mesh and take their best guess at evenly sharing the
task of deforming the skin. After that you can go and edit the range
and strength of effect inside the vertex modeler (assuming deformed
mesh is a vertex model). There you can assign any vertex to any bone
and after that it doesn't matter.
I'm not really sure how the initial assingment works. I guess it
really is based on distance of each vertex to each and every one of
the bones in assigned skeleton. Propably not so much affected by
size of the bone object, rather its location.
Charles, Arnaud, Matt or somebody at eovia? Could you shed some
light on how the bones actually work?
