ngSkinTools v1.2.0 Forgetting Weights

[Kevin C. Burke]

Hi,

I'm using ngSkinTools v1.2.0 with Maya 2016, Extension 1 + SP6 and Windows 10.

My weights are disappearing after I paint them. You can see the issues I'm experiencing in this video.

Can anyone help? It's making me crazy!

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the report, the video is really helpful. That could probably be considered a bug - seems like ngSkinTools tries to compensate weights to a total of 1.0, so when you have influences "A" and "B" on the vertex, and remove weight on A, it adds to B; when you remove from B, it adds to A.

One way to solve this is to actually control layer transparency via mask alone. Try this:

* From the ngSkinTools menu, go "Edit" - "Convert transparency to mask"

* Adjust influence weights them via approach "let's only " - basically all weights for each vertex is 1.0

* on the layer mask, paint the area for the nose in general.

Meanwhile I'll try to see if it will be possible to fix the workflow you're currently attempting.
