A Blender addon for getting smooth weight transfer results with just one click!
Robust Weight Transfer can successfully transfer weights from the body, without needing additional weight painting work like smoothing in problem areas (between legs, between chest, armpits).
Weight transfer code is based on https://github.com/rin-23/RobustSkinWeightsTransferCode/tree/main
You can find a tutorial on the Gumroad page of the addon https://sentfromspacevr.gumroad.com/l/robust-weight-transfer
When using the same Python version that Blender uses, you can install the dependencies with:
pip install --no-deps --target deps -r requirements.txt
With this pip
command you can control which platform and for which Python version wheels should be downloaded:
pip download --platform win_amd64 --python-version 310 --only-binary=:all: --no-deps -d whl -r requirements.txt
The dependency wheels get downloaded into the whl
directory. From here you can unzip the content of the wheels into the deps
directory
I recommend using https://github.com/JacquesLucke/blender_vscode during development.
This Blender addon is based on "Robust Skin Weights Transfer via Weight Inpainting" by Rinat Abdrashitov, Kim Raichstat, Jared Monsen and David Hill published at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2023
