DQ skinning Copier

3 votes

In previous max versions like max 2016,
when you save the envelopes, it doesn't save the Dual quaternions weights.
Which is a pain when you need to transfer skinning from a model to another for whatever reasons.
The thing is I do quite a lot of rigging and I faced this problem more than once with no out of the box solution.
And I needed to transfer only the DQ weights, not the other envelopes.

So here is a super simple script to do that.

How it works :
1 : select the model which has the DQ weights set. (the skin has to be the first modifier)

DeltaMush to Skin is a c++ 3ds Max modifier which smooths deformations while preserving details with "converting" to Skin feature - the plugin solves Skin weights matched as close as possible to the DeltaMush result. It enables the user to export such rigg to the game engine like Unity, Unreal etc. The whole process is incredibly fast thanks to multithreaded optimization.

Copy/Paste Skin Modifier via Max Script

0 votes

I recently discovered that copying a skin modifier via maxscript (using addmodifier) doesn't set the weights correctly, so I wrote a function to transfer the weights from one mesh to another. (they need to have the same topology though)
Some other scripts out there won't work because at some point autodesk decided to change the way that the skin's bone table is indexed, and they would need a lookup table with the bone names to convert the old index to the new one. *sight It seems I fixed it.

SkinHelper

Hi, hope you like my SkinHelper.

I tried to add a bunch of selection helping tools to the skinning process, so I replaced the hole UI of the 'Weight Tool' copied the default functions and added some more functionalities like, ...

Select by Weight; Save & Load Selection; Mirror Selection; Shrink, Grow, Loop, Ring addition; Set Weight Slider

I would like to read your feature ideas for this kind of tool.
