How to bend with skinning without the skin surface break? How do I get rid of a crease of something skinned?
You definitely need more faces. If you look at many models of, say, human like figures you will see that there are many small faces near areas that bend (like the elbow) but not so many in areas that don’t (like the biceps or forearm). (Steve) Skinning is inherently problematic. It does not preserve things like volume so tight bends can kink, bulge, and flatten. Playing with the bone influences can reduce the problem quite a bit. Sometimes adding an extra short bone in a joint can help too, so that it: <---><--><---> instead of <------><------> if you see what I mean. Thin fingers also work better than fat ones. You just have to keep playing with it until you figure out what works.
