anyone have a good script for copying skin weights based on the vertex world space position? One that is UVW independent. I need one for maya 4.5 to save me from weeks of weighting very similar meshes with different UV's
Malcolm: I think.. although I'm not a 100%maya pro, that the weight maps you export are based on your models UV's therefore they are not much use for moving weights from one model to another. Snowfly: that script sounds perfect, but of course I'm having some problems getting it to work. I'll play around with it more and…
well after working with it all day, finally got the results I was looking for. I took the time and weighted one of my meshes, just visually referencing the painted weights of the mesh I was trying to copy. Then used the script Snowfly posted to copy those weights to my other characters. Works great BTW. Also thanks…

ya, the only problem is that I have to have the characters in seperate files, and as far as I know copy skin weights dosent work between files. But I'll try exporting weightmaps. Importing the mesh into my other files, applying the weight maps, then using copy weights. As far as my problem with the Script snowfly posted is…
