match by vert id is impossible in that case because the vert ids cant ever match, unless you somehow reorder the verts yourself from the mesh with the most verts(the body) what i suggest to do instead is match vert by world position, or if you have unique UVs by UV position.
get the closest vert, for every vert. and hook them up in a tuple. then use this to do anything you want. ex transfer skinning. i suggest to do this with openmaya because of speed it will be very slow in pymel On Tue, 22 Jun 2021 at 10:46, Rudi Hammad <rudiham...@gmail.com> wrote: > (so no, meshes whould not have the same number of cvs) > > El martes, 22 de junio de 2021 a las 11:44:57 UTC+2, Rudi Hammad escribió: > >> >> >> yes, i want to have different topologies.
