The Paint Weight Map node
When to use it
The hand-painted weight map. Select the node, brush the region you want onto the mesh in the viewport, and press Accept to publish it on the WeightMap pin.
Reach for it when the region you need is a judgement call rather than something the mesh can be asked about. Create Weight Map covers everything derivable - curvature, landmark proximity, a bone's skin weights - and it re-derives itself when the mesh changes, which strokes cannot. Paint the ones only you can decide: which corner of a cloth is pinned, where a muscle attaches.
Brush size, strength and falloff come from the viewport Brush controls, the same ones mesh sculpting uses. Nothing leaves the node until you press Accept.
