Hi,

I cant get the Import skin weight maps to work in maya 7! It worked fine in version 6 but now when I export and import in maya 7, it´s gets realy messy, some vertex don´t even get weighted.

There should not be mouch to it since I´m using the same rigg. Heres how I do it:
I select my skinned mesh, export weight maps, Select my new skinned mesh and import weight maps. I also tryed selecting both the mesh and root bone but with no success.

Anyone else experienced the same problem?

regards

Anders

personally ive never gotten import/export skin weights to work so i always used copy skin weights.

what exactly are you trying to do that requires you to export and import the weights?

Thanks for the tip did not think about that one. I guess I also could use substitute geometry.

my problem was that I already rigged and skinned the characters but then it turned out that some of them where not UV mapped, so instead of re UV maped them I imported the new mesh and just import the skin map and it woud be done.

Thanks again for you help!
