Maybe its me,

but every time I try to mirror skin weights with soft bound models I get unuseable results.

Does this tool in Maya actually work? If you've gotten it to work what are the tools limitations for a successful mirror? I've just spent almost 2 days getting a nice pants leg working ( the high poly character can sit, stand, walk etc without the crotch bunching ) and I really would like to save some time here by mirroring the wieghts to the joints and influence objects on the other side. If you have any suggestions please let me know. For now I'm off to search highend 3d and cgtalks archives for info. If I don't find a quicky solution soon its off to the store for more CG artist Crak ( caffine ) and time to fluff my office chair for a long night ahead.

Thanks,
