Maya: Skin > Mirror Weights is not working.

Robota

Hi, I'm working on character rig, however, at the moment I am stuck. I have added skin weights to one side of the character, but I am unable to mirror this with the mirror weights function. I have tried deleting half the model and rig, essentially starting from scratch from there to no avail.

So, is this a common problem with common solutions? Any trouble shooting here would be great.

Did you make the entire model a skin, or just the vertices on one side of the model? Is the model and skeleton identical on both sides? What mirror skin weights settings are you using etc? Does the function provide an unexpected result, or no result?
