Subject: Re: [Fwd: Fwd: How do we achieve this in XSI?]
we have a set of weightmap tools that we've been using for
years here at
lamaison.
they were mainly written by aloys just before he left us for
some penguins
adventure. :)
we had the idea to give it away to the community for some
times now and
periodically forget about it..
this thread is a good opportunity to do it finally.

you can achieve a lot of different effects by combining all
these tools
together.
We used them heavily in production here , so it should be
stable.(we
didn't test them so much in 5.0)
it should work on windows and linux.

<mailto:XSI(at)softimage.com>>somebody should still have, on
XSIbase, a small
suite of tools that
change weightmaps by proximity to an implicit, including falloff
controls etc; I remember helping whoever it was with
something in a
SCOP, must have been almost a year ago now.
I also posted a self-installing plugin on CGTalk some time
ago that
supports several types of implicits or a planar curve to
describe a more
arbitrary shape, can't seem to find it though and I don't
have it with
me in Oz (although I have a WIP version of some WMap tools
like mixer,
map2grid, wmap tools etc. that I already gave to a few people).
it should be possible to get some funky stuff done with
what's already
out there, it will simply take some forum scavenging; but I
agree, it
would be nice to see a new panel in XSI that revamps
enveloping AND
weightmap painting and management.
maybe the efforts that went into the TLE should have gone
into some WMap
tools instead :), but then hindsight is 20/20 they say.
