Bones Wont deform with Mesh I just started using Blender and I wanted to recreate a viral creepy pasta. I have seen many tutorials and they all say for the armature to parent the mesh with automatic weights but nothing happens.



I cant seem to solve the problem, the bones move but the mesh wont move along with it

Welcome to Blender Stack Exchange!

It looks the automatic weighting failed when you tried to parent the mesh to the rig. This is unfortunately a common occurrence in Blender. It seems to happen when you use somewhat dense meshes like you have.

There is a really easy fix though. Select both the mesh and the rig and scale them up a lot. I tested your file and it worked when I scaled them up 100 times. All this does is space things out a bit (a lot) more and the automatic weighting seems to like that better. Then apply the scale on both objects with Ctrl+A. Then parent, scale down (by .01 instead of 100 this time) and apply the scale again.
