With the bones parenting with Ctrl+P. Automatic Weight getting this error.

enter image description here

I have 3 bones only. Removed all the doubles. Applied Rotation Scale. All modifiers applied, All mesh are attached. still there is error. Any suggestion. I tried the manifold option from the 3d print addon still did not work.

Your mesh is made by different spare parts, which also intersect each other, and this is not what automatic weight is ready to manage.

A workaround can be separating every single piece in one different object (Jacket, legs, pants, ect.), you can do it by selecting all vertices, then press P > Separate by loose parts.

Then you can parent every object to the rig, and later you can join (Ctrl + J) everything in a single mesh as weights are properties of vertices, and they don't change if the meshes are merged.

Anyway I would suggest you to parent your mesh using With empty groups option, then do manual weighting, with paint or direct assign, because with automatic option you will have lots of intersections between various parts of the mesh (and possibly clean some ugly topology and eliminate interiors as far as you can).

  • $\begingroup$ I have selected the jacket, body, pant & join all the parts with ctrl+J. Or do i have make union with boolean modifier. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Ctrl J is ok, boolean would add some more mess. $\endgroup$
