Feature Q

Hey,

 

I have a simple question for curiosity's sake. Are there any plans to add smartskin capability to the WeightMover?

 

What I mean is this - if the bone weights are interpolated linearly between neighboring points, it should be similar math/algorithm to transfer smartskin settings to neighbors from the same bones. The use for this would be to have the basic low-res envelope warped into exactly the desired shape (CP weights and fan bones get close, but I've had to use tricks to preserve volume), which would be transfered wholesale to the higher-resolution model.

 

Let me know what you think/have thought on this question. It is more than alright to say that I am being silly and have overlooked another technique to acheive the same effect.

SmartSkin and bone weights have some general similarities, but the devil is in the details. I'm afraid it just wouldn't be worth the time it would take to implement, since most people don't use SmartSkin on their lo-res models.

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply.
