Unless there is some clever part that Im missing, It's not a hard thing to implement. Fill a volume with voxels. Spread out( iterate) influence from bones across the volume particle to particle by neighbours. Get closest voxel to surface and find resulting influence for each bone. Normalise and write to envelope . I'd be bold enough to suggest it could be done in ICE in a day.
