Smooth Bind skin Problem?

#1

Hi ,
I use Maya 2011.
I do Rigging process in Maya for my character quickly and without any problem.
But I have some problem for binding skin to joint. because I use internal Maya Smooth Bind for this work.
and then I adjust skin weight by “Paint Skin Weight Tool” and “Component Editor”.
I have to spend too much time for this Process .
Is there any Maya Plugin for doing bind skin faster than Maya. (and with good quality).
If yes what is your suggestion?
Thank you.

pm_heatweight can save a lot of time. Does a really nice job of getting the weights 90% right (sometimes more). Does not work too well if there are not enough joints or the mesh has uneven density, but it is always my first try, before I resort to painting.

Thanks djx . I want test pm_heatweight. but I think it does not support Maya 2011.

I think I used it in 2011 and 2012. I’ll have to check and let you know. Did you follow the install instructions in the header of PM_heatWeight.py ?
