Context: I use Blender 4.1. My mesh as I assign bone:
Assigning vertices to a group:
“Deform” removed for bone:
Parenting mesh to bone “with empty groups”:
Assigning vertices to vertex group
Yet vertex group doesn’t move with bone in pose mode?
MY blend file:
Names of bones and their corresponding vertex groups must be the same. “Deform” must be enabled. What tutorial did you watch to do the way you did?

No need to add vertex groups manually. They will be created automatically after parenting a mesh to an armature (with the correct names).Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.
If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.
What tutorial did you watch to do the way you did?

I see, I’ll try this out and let you know ASAP
If you goal is to have the bone cause the green cube to move…. be sure to keep “Deform” selected. When you turn this off…the bone no longer has any influence over the object or vertex group.
You and kdv are right in this regard. Why the mesh initially seemed to distort when I rotated it was because I did not put a constraint on it.
Removing parent:
Renaming Vertex group:
Reparenting mesh to bone Armature Deform – with empty group:
Rotating without constraints:
Obviously, I need to put a rotation constraint to prevent mesh rotating in unwanted angle. But why in this case, what do I set min and max for limit x, to prevent rotating mesh from going off angle?

Just watch the video from my previous post…Cool, I just watched this.
I’ll have to learn this, nifty little trick.

I now see what you mean. Makes sense actually
I see. Btw, is there a way for me to use vertice/vertex groups with bones in a single mesh to manipulate vertices like this
When I tried, it looked very distorted and crumpled up…
