Hi Bradley,
What about transferring the weights on a cav map (script or direct paint on
it ?), creating a group of siobjects and keep a relationship between both
by the display color <-> color at vertex (smooth weights should not be that
easy to process, but at least absolute ones should be ... ) ??
Another solution could be a 'userdatamap' ('facerobot' uses some to store
extra envelopes informations for custom ops) mixed with a cav map.
This last idea would be the same as applying an envelope, painting it,
creating a group to keep a track to the deformers, duplicating the envelope
cluster and it's map, and finally freezing.
just some thoughts,
:)
