This is a separate mesh (shoe) on my character. It is parented to the metarig and then to the rig created by Rigify. The rig works all of my character, including the other shoe which is fine. I have reparented this mesh several times and weight painted. It now works fine with metarig, but not rig. Why is this?

Hi. I've added a screenshot to your question with the Face Orientation overlay enabled. As you can see, one shoe is red. This means that the normal ones are flipped and the mesh is inside out and causing the problems. Go to Edit mode, select the mesh, and flip the normals (Shift+N (=Recalculate outside) or Alt+N > Flip). After this, the weights must be recalculated or painted again. – Blunder Feb 15 '24 at 13:18
Does this answer your question? Rigify (2.8) - automatic weight incorrect and issues with weight painting – Blunder Feb 15 '24 at 13:23
First thanks so much for responding. Must have something else going on because I did all that and it didn't help. Metarig works and rig does nothing to that shoe. – Old Man Feb 15 '24 at 19:20

OK, now I got it to work. First I had to delete all vertex groups. Thanks soooooo Much! – Old Man Feb 15 '24 at 21:26
