Converting wrap to skin in maya

[thematt]

not that I know of..but this could be scriptable I guess although not easily.
It could be an intersting dev to do, if I wasn't that busy I would look into it.

Hi..!

Is there a way to get the weight map of the wrap deformer....

rgds,

Rather than using a wrap deformer, you're better off just smooth skinning your new mesh, and then copying the skin weights from the mesh that is already skinned.

Select your skinned mesh, then select you new mesh, then run this in the script editor:

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
string $cluster = `findRelatedSkinCluster $sel[0]`;
string $joints[] = `listConnections -s 1 -d 0 ($cluster + ".matrix")`;
select -r $sel[1];
select -add $joints;
SmoothBindSkin -tsb -ta;
string $newCluster = `findRelatedSkinCluster $sel[1]`;
copySkinWeights -ss $cluster -ds $newCluster -nm;


To manually do this, just create a smooth bind with you new mesh, and the go to Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Copy Skin Weights.

Skin wrap equivalent is 'copy weights' in Maya 8.5
