Default Bone Weights

I want to dab a little into character animation using bones. Does anybody know where i can find tutorials about bone weights?
I already have Philips character animation tute but he never explains bone weights.

Thanx!

yeah, hehe. I didn't explain bone weights because they can be a PITA in LW So in the character setup tute I showed you how you can achieve a decent bind without any weightmapping at all.

Of course there will be situations when there's absolutely now way around them, but I'm confident Peter will explain every little bit while going on with the excellent "Creature Feature"!
