Short description of error
[mesh can't be parent to rigify generated rig]

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[I created a polygon character using sculpt tool. remesh into a lower poly count mesh around 80k poly count. then I did visual geometry to mesh, apply mesh location, rotation all to 0, scale to 1. turn on add-on rigify in preference window. add armature human meta rig, place bone to desire location, notice a warning saying this version of facerig is not up to date, so i click on it and update it. then click on the generate rig button, rig shows up. select mesh then select rig under object mode, nothing happens. mesh does not follow the rig.

tried many times, a total of 9 hours, went through a lot of forums, youtube videos, and repeat a lot of different tutorials, but still not working. I am project lead, trying to introduce blender into our pipeline, before that happens I have to design and make sure this is a working pipeline and will not break along the way. everything works brilliant love you guys, we are amazed by all the work you guys have done. currently working on a tight schedule game project, hopefully I can get this solved. Thank you so much, have a great day.]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

select mesh then select rig under object mode, nothing happens.

Just to double check, did you actually do the parenting here after this step or just missed to write it in the description?

Is this issue specific to this mesh or can be replicated on any mesh, even a cube? If yes, can you attach the mesh or a simplified version of it?
Does any error get printed to the console when you try generation?

Hi Omar,

yes, I did miss writing it, sorry. I did parent the mesh to the rig, but nothing happen.

And yes, it does happen to a simple cube model too. I did a low poly cube character just for the test purpose. I can attach that here. not a problem.

I think the first time I tried to parent there was not any error. but when I tried to un-parent the mesh from the rig and do parent again then there is a loop in parents error message came up.

Thanks a lot rigify_rigtest.blend

@jonpoh this is just a normal parenting issue. You manually created a parent looping by:

parenting the rig to the mesh
trying to parent back the mesh to the rig.

if you just:

select the rig and unparent it (alt+p>clear_parent)
selce the mesh, shift click on the rig to add the rig, and then parent it (ctrl+p>with_automatic_weight)

it will work perfectly
