Ok, amatuer modeler here, I made a mesh for SL and I've textured it and everything, problem is I'm following a tutorial on how to apply the SL mesh to it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JHWDdrIeD0) and I've hit a problem. At 2:40 they say to select the m

Ok, amatuer modeler here, I made a mesh for SL and I've textured it and everything, problem is I'm following a tutorial on how to apply the SL mesh to it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JHWDdrIeD0) and I've hit a problem. At 2:40 they say to select the mesh and the armature, and then press ctrl+p and choose armature>create from bone heat. I don't have this menu option. I've tried everything, and I just wanna get this fucking thing working, any help would be 10/10. Side note, I moved the default positions of the bones, is that fine?

Maybe it's because your Blender build is quite newer than what that guy's using in the video. It's been five years, try looking for other resources elsewhere, there must be something else.

What you want is automatic weights or empty groups, to set the bone weights which is how much of the actual model each bone influences and by what magnitude.

To do the weight painting yourself you select the model after parenting it with either option and select Object Mode > Weight Paint. The redder an area, the more influence the currently selected bone group has over that part of the model. To change the vertex group you're painting on, go to Object data and select a different vertex group.
