Re: Copying/transferring weight maps

[Sergio Mucino]

Thanks a lot everyone! I actually noticed that even if the sub-ops didn't come along for the hike, the weight map still works! I will for sure go back and freeze the original. Looks like everything is still just fine at the OK corral. ;-) On 22/11/2013 4:36 PM, Eric Thivierge wrote: Select the weight map you are trying to copy. Hit the freeze button to freeze the weights. Then you'll be able to Ctrl+ drag and drop on the other mesh with weights in tact. You should make sure you freeze those properties and ops when you're satisfied with the weights.

I have two meshes that are exactly, the same, just under different models. I've painted a weight map on one that I'm using to modulate the effect of a deformer. Now I need the other mesh to deform identically. I though I'd be able to just copy/paste the weight map, but that seems to not work. Ctrl-dragging the weight map does copy the weight map node, but it does not bring with it the two sub-operators that are needed for it to work (a weightmapop, and weightpainter). I've tried to copy/paste and drag-n-drop these, but Soft won't have it. Any ideas? (I can't use the ICE approach because my target mesh has some ICE trees and operators at the modeling level already, so I wouldn't be able to freeze the ICE tree used to copy the map afterwards). Thanks for any help!
