I'm always for competition. I'm curious what the limits of their visual scripting are, UE4's Blueprints biggest issue is the performance. Wounder if they found a way to tackle that.
Fully agree with @monster , painting and envelope fiddling are a very tedious way to skin. Assigning weights at the vert level with the table and scripts is much more efficient.

Take the script posted above, and replace "maxFilePath" with ("C:/Documents and Settings/" + sysInfo.username + "/Desktop/") That should save to your desktop instead of the current file folder.
