Hi, trying to follow along with this tutorial.

Specifically right here....

I get a malformed mesh after adding the deletejoints2, parentjoints2 and rigpose1 into the right path and then skeletonmerging in that path and selecting it for blend.

{FIXED}

I think I fixed it with a google search pointing to the below:

It appears the path forward is always name the joints you are merging in from the selected blend.

If my skeleton messed up after a merge, I just went back and inserted the join names I was merging back in. Seemed to get me all the way to animation just fine.
