The Paint Skin Weights node
When to use it
Paints per-vertex skin weights onto a skeletal mesh by hand, one bone at a time. Select the node to get the brush; deselect it and the tool goes away.
This is the fix for the places an automatic bind gets wrong - a shoulder that collapses, a jaw that drags the neck with it. For a first pass across the whole character, Auto-Skin or Transfer Weights get you most of the way there first.
The mesh has to arrive with a skeleton and skin weights already on it. A static mesh or a plain file import has nothing to paint into.
How to use it
- 1
Connect a skinned mesh
- 2
Pick a bone in the tool and paint its weights in the viewport
- 3
The output is the mesh with the updated weights
