Blender provides a set of helper tools for Weight Painting.
La Opción Subconjunto
Some of the tools also provide a Subset filter to restrict their functionality to only specific vertex groups (in the Ajustar última operación panel, displayed after the tool is called) with following options:
Grupo activo
Selected Pose Bones
Deform Pose Bones
All Groups
All tools also work with Vertex Selection Masking and Face Selection Masking. In these modes the tools operate only on selected vertices or faces.
Assign from Bone Envelopes¶
Apply the envelope weight of the selected bone(s) to the selected vertex group.
Assign Automatic from Bone¶
Apply from the selected bone(s) to the vertex group the same «auto-weighting» methods as available in the Parent armature menu.
Normalize All¶
For each vertex, this tool makes sure that the sum of the weights across all vertex groups is equal to 1. This tool normalizes all of the vertex groups, except for locked groups, which keep their weight values untouched.
- Lock Active
Keep the values of the active group while normalizing all the others.
Normalizar¶
This tool only works on the active vertex group. All vertices keep their relative weights, but the entire set of weights is scaled up such that the highest weight value is 1.0.
Simetrizar¶
The Mirror Vertex Group tool mirrors the weights from one side of a perfectly symmetrical mesh to the opposite side. Those vertices that have no corresponding vertex on the other side will not be affected. But note, the weights are not transferred to the corresponding opposite bone weight group.
Nota
Mirroring only works when the object’s rest pose is perfectly symmetrical across the X axis.
- Influencias de Simetría
With this option checked, every selected vertex receives the weight information of its symmetrical counterpart. If both vertices are selected, it will be a weight information exchange; if only one is selected, information from the unselected will overwrite the selected one. Information on weight is passed for the active group only, unless All Groups is checked, in which case it is passed for all groups.
- Flip Group Names
Works with selected vertices that belong to vertex groups with «symmetrical names» (with components like «L», «R», «right», «left»). All selected vertices that belong to the active group, or to the symmetrical of the active group, will have their assignation to that group replaced by an assignation to the symmetrical one; however, its weight will be preserved. If All Groups is checked, all assignations to these kind of groups will be replaced by the symmetrical counterpart, also keeping the old weights.
- All Groups
Operate on all vertex groups, instead of the active one.
- Simetría Topológica
Mirror for meshes which are not fully symmetric (approximate mirror). See here for more information.
Truco
Mirror to Opposite Bone
If you want to create a mirrored weight group for the opposite bone (of a symmetric character), then you can do this:
Delete the target vertex group (where the mirrored weights will be placed).
Create a copy of the source bone vertex group (the group containing the weights which you want to copy).
Rename the new vertex group to the name of the target vertex group (the group you deleted above).
Select the target vertex group and call the Mirror tool (use only the Mirror weights option and optionally Topology Mirror if your mesh is not symmetric).
Invertir¶
Replaces each Weight of the selected weight group by × -1.0 weight.
Ejemplos:
Original 1.0 converts to 0.0
Original 0.5 remains 0.5
Original 0.0 converts to 1.0
- Subconjunto
Restrict the tool to a subset. See above The Subset Option about how subsets are defined.
- Add Weights
Add vertices that have no weight before inverting (these weights will all be set to 1.0).
- Remove Weights
Remove vertices from the vertex group if they are 0.0 after inverting.
Nota
Locked vertex groups are not affected.
Limpiar¶
Eliminar influencias del grupo de vértices anula la asignación de vértices de grupos de vértices cuyas influencias están por debajo del Límite. Elimina las influencias por debajo de un umbral dado. Esta herramienta es útil para limpiar sus grupos de influencia de influencias muy bajas (o cero).
En el ejemplo mostrado, se utiliza un valor de corte de 0.2 (ver las opciones del operador a continuación) para que se limpien todas las piezas azules.
Tener en cuenta que las imágenes tienen la opción Mostrar influencias nulas activa, para que las influencias sin referencia se muestren en negro.
- Subconjunto
Restrinja la herramienta a un subconjunto. Consulte más arriba La Opción Subconjunto para saber cómo se definen los subconjuntos.
- Limitar
Este es el valor de influencia mínima que se mantendrá en el grupo. Las influencias por debajo de este valor serán eliminadas del grupo.
- Mantener uno
Ensure that the Clean tool will not create completely unreferenced vertices (vertices which are not assigned to any vertex group), so each vertex will keep at least one weight, even if it is below the limit value!
Quantize¶
This operator uses a process known as Quantization which takes the input weights and clamps each weight to a number of steps between (0 - 1), so there is no longer a smooth gradient between values.
- Intervalos
The number of steps between 0 and 1 to quantize the weights into. For example 5 would allow the following weights
[0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0]
.
Niveles¶
Adds an offset and a scale to all weights of the selected weight groups. with this tool you can raise or lower the overall «heat» of the weight group.
Nota
No weight will ever be set to values above 1.0 or below 0.0 regardless of the settings.
- Subconjunto
Restrinja la herramienta a un subconjunto. Consulte más arriba La Opción Subconjunto para saber cómo se definen los subconjuntos.
- Desplazamiento
A value from the range (-1.0 - 1.0) to be added to all weights in the vertex group.
- Ganancia
All weights in the Subset are multiplied with the gain.
Nota
Whichever Gain and Offset you choose, in all cases the final value of each weight will be clamped to the range (0.0 - 1.0). So you will never get negative weights or overheated areas (weight > 1.0) with this tool.
Suavizado¶
Truco
The Smooth tool only works when «Vertex selection masking for painting» is enabled. Otherwise the tool button is grayed out.
Blends the weights of selected vertices with adjacent unselected vertices. This tool only works in vertex select mode.
To understand what the tool really does, let us take a look at a simple example. The selected vertex is connected to four adjacent vertices (marked with a gray circle in the image). All adjacent vertices are unselected. Now the tool calculates the average weight of all connected and unselected vertices. In the example this is:
\((1 + 0 + 0 + 0) / 4 = 0.25\)
This value is multiplied by the factor given in the Operator options (see below).
If the factor is 0.0 then actually nothing happens at all and the vertex just keeps its value.
If the factor is 1.0 then the calculated average weight is taken (0.25 here).
Dragging the factor from 0 to 1 gradually changes from the old value to the calculated average.
Now let us see what happens when we select all but one of the neighbors of the selected vertex as well. Again all connected and unselected vertices are marked with a gray circle. When we call the Smooth tool now and set the Factor to 1.0, then we see different results for each of the selected vertices:
The top-most and bottom-most selected vertices:
are surrounded by three unselected vertices, with an average weight of \((1 + 0 + 0) / 3 = 0.333\) So their color has changed to light green.
The middle vertex:
is connected to one unselected vertex with
weight = 1
. So the average weight is 1.0 in this case, thus the selected vertex has changed to red.The right vertex:
is surrounded by three unselected vertices with average weight = \((0 + 0 + 0) / 3 = 0.0\) So the average weight is 0, thus the selected vertex has not changed at all (it was already blue before Smooth was applied).
Finally let us look at a practical example. The middle edge loop has been selected and it will be used for blending the left side to the right side of the area.
All selected vertices have two unselected adjacent vertices.
The average weight of the unselected vertices is \((1 + 0) / 2 = 0.5\)
Thus when the Factor is set to 1.0 then the edge loop turns to green and finally does blend the cold side (right) to the hot side (left).
- Factor
The effective amount of blending. When Factor is set to 0.0 then the Smooth tool does not do anything. For Factor > 0 the weights of the affected vertices gradually shift from their original value towards the average weight of all connected and unselected vertices (see examples above).
- Iteraciones
Number of times to repeat the smoothing operation.
- Expand/Contract
Positive values expand the selection to neighboring vertices while contract limits to the selection.
- Origen
The vertices to mix with.
- Todo:
Smoothing will smooth both selected and deselected vertices.
- Sólo seleccionados:
Smoothing will only smooth with selected vertices.
- Only Deselected:
Smoothing will only smooth with deselected vertices.
Transfer Weights¶
Copy weights from other objects to the vertex groups of the active object.
By default this tool copies only the active (selected) vertex group of the source object to the active vertex group of target object or creates a new one if the group does not exist. However, you can change the tool’s behavior in the Ajustar última operación panel.
For example, to transfer all existing vertex groups from the source objects to the target, change the Source Layers Selection option to By Name.
Nota
This tool uses the generic «data transfer», but transfers from all selected objects to active one. Please refer to the Data Transfer docs for options details and explanations.
Prepare the Copy¶
You first select all source objects, and finally the target object (the target object must be the active object).
It is important that the source objects and the target object are at the same location. If they are placed side-by-side, then the weight transfer will not work. (See the Vertex Mapping option.) You can place the objects on different layers, but you have to ensure that all objects are visible when you call the tool.
Now ensure that the target object is in Weight Paint Mode. Open the Toolbar and call the Transfer Weights tool in the Weight Tools panel.
Adjust Last Operation Panel Confusion¶
You may notice that the Ajustar última operación panel stays available after the weight transfer is done. The panel only disappears when you call another Operator that has its own Ajustar última operación panel. This can lead to confusion when you use Transfer weights repeatedly after you changed your vertex groups. If you then use the still-visible Ajustar última operación panel, then Blender will reset your work to its state right before you initially called the Transfer Weights tool.
So when you want to call the Transfer Weights tool again after you made some changes to your vertex groups, then always use the Transfer Weights button, even if the Ajustar última operación panel is still available. Unless you really want to reset your changes to the initial call of the tool.
Limit Total¶
Reduce el número de grupos de influencia por vértice al límite especificado. La herramienta elimina primero las influencias más bajas hasta alcanzar el límite.
Consejo
La herramienta sólo puede funcionar razonablemente cuando se selecciona más de un grupo de influencia.
