Hi, I am really missing "Re-Assign Locally" for envelopes, in Maya, so I wrote a simple Python script. The script calculates weight by distance, between each selected point to each selected joint, using the formula in the attached file, I then assign those values back to the skin cluster.. The script kind of works, it does what it's supposed to do, but the results are not as expected.
In the attached image you can see an example of a cylinder, how the weights distribution between 2 bones looks like in Maya and Softimage ( in both apps, I chose "by distance" method). Then there is the result my script produces: as you can see, the bottom bone gets too much influence in the top half, And the top bone gets too little influence where it should.. I am not a Mathematician, nor a Programmer, I try to learn on my own using the internet, I understand that 3D apps probably do more than just calculate the distance, and derive a weight, but I hoped for similar results ;) If anyone has an idea, how can I get closer results to how 3D apps calculate these weights, I'd be happy to hear.. I can also share the script, if it interests anyone. Thanks, Oz. This communication (including any attachments) is sent on behalf of Playtech plc or one of its subsidiaries (Playtech Group).
