Installation

  • Extract the content of the .rar file anywhere on disk.
  • Drag the skinning-tools.mel file in Maya to permanently install the script.

Note

Mirror skin weights using the topology of a mesh. By selecting the mirrored edge of a mesh a symmetry mapping is generated which can be used to mirror weights from side to side. The mirror mapping for the influences is created using a string match between left and right rather than position or labels.
