Is there a Zero Weight plugin?

[sami]

Is there a plugin (or feature I missed in LW2020) that you can select a weightmap or series of weightmaps and it can add a Map value of 0% automatically to any unweighted points in the selected layers?

I know I can select the weight maps one by one - do a Select by Map, Invert the Points (to get the unweighted points), and then Set Map value to 0% - but surely there is a faster way when you have a bunch of maps you need to do this to?

thanks!

Aren't unweighted points are already at 0?

No. They are "unmapped".

I made plugin which is showing which vertexes are unmapped:

Useful for character animators..
It's part of TrueArt's Modeling Pack http://modelingpack.trueart.eu

There's also 3rd Powers Paint Weights.

There are a couple Edit menu drop-downs that I use a lot for my furred critters for trimming weights.

not as far as i know,

tho' Ma3rk might be onto something.

thanks everyone. I thought there used to be an LScript that does that. But I guess not. I'll have a closer look at these plugins.

Thanks for your knowledge!

If you need one, the lScript or Python should be trivial to write.
To be sure, you basically want it to scan the model; if the vertex doesn't have the selected map mapped to it, you want it to be mapped and assigned a value of 0.00, correct?
Or should it work on selected points as well?

from my understanding, yup.

EDIT;
found a plugin that kicks it...

Thanks Kryslin & eriklas - I will check out Combine Weightmaps and snag some code from it. or I will see if I can use that with code from this other script i found - but I'm not sure where it came from or who made it. This script did the opposite of what I wanted - it takes Zero weighted points and unmaps them. I also wanted a plugin that does all this to multiple maps in one click and provides clear feedback of what it is doing/did. If I write that I'll share it. But here's the other semi-relevant script I just found:

Beware I haven't tested it in Modeler 2020 yet - so maybe only use it on temp objects first.
