D-Former on half body

mlominy

I want to create a D-Former that covers only half (left or right) of my full G3 character. Is there a way to do that in a precise manner? I don't want to ''paint'', as this method is imprecise...

You can do a weight map that isnt hand painted. After you create the weight map it's all filled in so you want to select all the geometry and right click, pick Fill Selected and set it to 0%.  Then right click and clear your selection. Now you can set the selection mode to marquee (i.e. rectangle) and select only the half of the model you care about. That will result in a very crisp line. Then you can fill selected again, this time 100% or whatever you like.

Maybe that's useful in your case.

And it did!

Thanks!

The weight map paint brush tool also has methods other than painting - the gradients would probably be the one you'd want.
