Re: The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
I feel like I'm jumping into the middle of your conversation and doing little good, but I'm just trying to help :) To be clear that code I posted should resolve the error you get when you first load one of Valve's Maya files that looks something like this: This is caused by Valve using certain proprietary formats we are… -
The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
If you've rigged something from the Dota2 files, you've undoubtedly come across this spawn of Satan. If you don't know what I mean, here's the skinny (from here): From my experience most of the meshes in the Maya files that we get from Valve have this. Some people suggest updating your .fbx plugin to stop this behavior but… -
Re: The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
Just checked, there actually is still lockInfluenceWeight on all the skeletons, but it's not affecting anything and I can duplicate weights, export etc. just fine. I guess it doesn't come into effect unless one of valve's nodes is using it? If it works with a new maya settings folder, but not with your old one, there's… -
Re: The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
Yep, though I have had the latest FBX version for a while now. That's why it was so frustrating for me, I did all the thing that I found on Autodesk's Area etc to resolve this and none of worked. Seems it was just some random plugin I have is interfering because, as stated above, if I do it with a clean… -

But I just wanted to post that doing this: Can be done a little more simply by typing this:delete `ls -type unknown`; ...into the command line or dropping it on the shelf as a… -
Re: The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
Oh god, I remember this. Tried a whole bunch of methods but lately I've been doing this and it hasn't failed me yet: First, instead import the .ma file instead of the .fbx's. Then go to File < Optimize Scene Size Options and there should be a Remove: Unknown Nodes option. Press optimize now next to it, save the scene.… -
Re: The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
Worked fine for me with slark. File < New Scene File < Import < Slark_model.ma File < Optimize Scene Size Options < Unknown Nodes : Optimize Now Button < Close Window File < Save Scene < slarktest.mb From here I can paint weights/copy weights of anything default, or anything I add and smooth bind. Here's the file with a…
