SymEnvWeight

Introduced

2.0

Description

Smooths the weighting of envelope points.

Scripting Syntax

    SymEnvWeight( PropObj, [SubComp], [MappingTemplate], SymmetryAxis )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
PropObj [in/out] | String | Envelope weights property to be used.
SubComp [in/out] | String | List of points/objects/clusters to be copied in symmetry. Default Value: Current selection
MappingTemplate [in/out] | String | Mapping template that determines the symmetric mapping between deformers
SymmetryAxis [in/out] | Integer | The symmetry axis used to build the symmetry mapping template and symmetry map.

Return Value

Returns an XSICollection that contains the new envelope operators.

Examples

VBScript Example

    'This example creates an envelope on "BodyMan" model, with less bones
    'than usual (2 nulls for the body, 1 bone per arm).
    '
    'The default envelope assignment doesn't give a correct separation
    'between the arms and the body, so we will use LocalAssignFlexEnv,
    'SISmoothEnvWght and SymEnvWeight in order to modify the weight assignment.
