@AuxiarMolkhun Год назад

This video randomly came across my feed and happened to be quite relevant to what I was dealing with. I purchased the addon and I have to say, in the 3 seconds that it took to bake the weights, it saved me maybe 3-5 hours of painful manual fixing of auto-weights. The result wasn't flawless, there was maybe 2 places where a few verticies clipped that took me maybe 5 minutes to fix if that, but it was close. If you're on the fence about getting this and you're dealing with models that have layered or double-sided clothing, or multiple pieces to it, consider this your sign to buy it. It's well worth the $30 price tag and that's just for the voxel skinning alone. You will not regret the purchase.

@kaientric Год назад

Thank you very much for this! I spent the entire week trying to make it work with auto weights and just could not get a satisfying result out of it since my model has A LOT of separate components. This literally cut down the entire process to less than an hour. I still have to edit some weights due to the model structure itself. For example, the model have side hairs that goes down to the shoulder and it was weighted on the shoulder as well. But it was pretty easy fix and the plugin already did like 99% of the work. Plus your video actually covered _more_ than the tool. Most videos covered some button presses and be done with it so this really helped covering the edge cases as well.

I don't regret my purchase, I don't have the error anymore, now I have to find why my mesh is deformed after using heat diffuse skinning. On the other hand, it works perfectly if I don't use the rig generated by the game rigging tool addon. I did some tests with the armatures generated by Blender and this addon but for the moment not to understand where it can come from. I tried to recreate a rig respecting the same format as the one generated by the addon and it works but I encounter the faulted to merge bone error once exported. Even if I still can't export to unreal I've made some progress, thanks for that.

is there a way to transfer weights with that plugin? im trying to rig clothing having a hard time!

@pklpklpkl 2 года назад

Trying to use the plugins I'm finding that the weighting that they apply to the mesh is extremely sharp and if I change the falloff setting too much it weights too much to the wrong bone instead of sharing(like the left shoulder taking the entire left side of the shirt) then gets stuck with that value/setting, even if it's redone.

For Face and Hands I seperate them from the body. After applying voxel heat to the body I parent Head and Hands to the armature with "automatic weights"

@tdsw 2 года назад

This looks like a really cool add on. I’m pretty new to rigging, when you have your clothes and body selected are they just joined meshes? Also could you run the automatic weights first to solve for the face, and then run the other two methods with the “protect selected vertex weights” enabled with respective vertexes selected?

@CGDive 2 года назад

-when you have your clothes and body selected are they just joined meshes? Yes but that's not so important. They can be separate if you prefer. And, you can use the tools in any order that makes sense to you :)

@funnyknowledge7251 5 месяцев назад

Hey, I am having an issue I think you could help me out with. I have a mixamo rig + body is attached to the rig, ( I removed the head) I have a rigged head/face made with "Human gnerator addon" (not baked, must stay not baked so i can further adjust when needed) I removed the body of the Human generator rig, and deleted all the bones that were connected below the neck leaving only the neck and head bone along with the facial bones Mixamo i kept the same, only thing i did was remove the head mesh My goal is to combine these, I align the HG (human generator) head to the mixamo body in object mode, the mixamo body being in rest positon My issue: when i select the HG head mesh, and then select the mixamo rig "pair with automatic weights" or use the 30$ "voxel heat skinning" addon, the HG head mesh is tracking with the mixamo head great, but the HG neck is clipping through the body as the head rotates and moves, telling me it most likely was not weighted right Is there any chance you can provide me with a workflow of some sorts, or point me in the right direction? the goal is to make this as simple as possible as I have to repeat this process with many characters.

@-DarkBlue- Год назад

i am wonder what if u changed voxel resolution to something higher like 512 instead of default 128 will that fix fingers and lips problem ? since we are using higher resolution now the skinning should be very more accurate ?

@CGDive Год назад

If the lips are pressed against each other (as is the case with most face models) then you'd have to increase the resolution to something ridiculous which is just too slow and impractical. But in theory, yeah, might be possible. :)

@shrci2 Год назад

I seem to be having problems where the voxel heat diffuse skinning is basically weight painting to either area it shouldn't or to much, i am just curious on what settings you use cuz the default seems to cause for example the right leg to be weight painted to the left left leg. Like the thigh is perfectly weight painted on the one side but weights paints a little to the other side.

@CGDive Год назад

Yeah, if the legs are close to each other, this can happen. You can either increase the voxel resolution or just do a bit of manual weight paint to remove the weights from the other leg.

@AdamJanz3D 2 года назад

These videos are insanely helpful, thank you. It seems that Auto-Normalize only respects your brush Weight, Strength, and type (ie. Add / Subtract) settings when there is NO armature modifier applied to the mesh. Otherwise, even painting with a subtract brush will paint positive values on your mesh (which seems counter-intuitive to me). Is this a bug or expected behavior? Thanks!

@CGDive 2 года назад

I don't follow. Auto-normalize should work with an armature modifier. If it didn't I'd report a bug :)

@AdamJanz3D 2 года назад

@@CGDive Thanks for the reply. I think I figured it out, but it still seems ridiculous to me. Auto-Normalize only respects your brush settings when you have vertices with weights already assigned from 2 or more bones. However, if you parent your object to an armature with Empty Groups (so NO weights have been assigned yet), and then try to paint, even if your weight is set to 0, or you are using the subtract brush, you will end up painting positive weights. This bizarre behavior seems present in every Blender version I tried, as far back as 2.79b. It never showed up in your videos, probably because you already had assigned Automatic Weights before painting with Auto-Normalize on. 🙂

@abedd370 2 месяца назад

I'm using Auto Rig Pro and I also have the paid Voxel Heat Skinning addon. Now, I want to skin my ARP armature using the Voxel addon but I want to use the Surface Heat Diffuse method (through ARP) not the Voxel Heat Diffuse method, is there a way we can force the Surface method through ARP? Thank you in advance.

@CGDive 2 месяца назад

I don't think so. You could ask the ARP developer to consider including it. However ARP does some tricks to make the default Automatic Weights work more reliably so you may not need surface heat.

This is a good point. No, not directly although it would be a good feature to have... This is from the addon documentation Q: How can I tell a bone not to deform the mesh? A: When you selected the bone, there is a 'Deform' option in the 'property->Bone' panel, uncheck the option, and delete the bone name from the vertex groups of the mesh, then run voxel heat diffuse skinning again.

When I move my foot box up to test a kick - 1 leg moves up (working), but at the thigh of the other leg, the mesh is being influenced. Im surprised that these paid addons do not account for that??? So how to fix? And is it related to "8" bone influences (default Voxel Heat setting) - do I need to turn that down to _? (But if set to 1, then lower leg bone or twist wont work correctly to influence upper leg? So I need 2 - but then upper Leg 1 will influence upper Leg 2 (original problem)?)

I can't say for sure without seeing images or the file but it usually means that the weights "spilled" onto close-by parts of the mesh. One way to fix it is if to edit the default pose so that the legs are a bit wider apart. The addon also has settings so if you play with them you might get better results, e.g. increase the voxel resolution. And finally - and best - learn weight painting. That will allow you to fix and fine-tune the results manually. I have a playlist about that ru-vid.com/group/PLdcL5aF8ZcJsFEdlMJ7To0Iu9s-XCFV3W

can we use this for clothes?

@CGDive 3 месяца назад

yes, as shown in the video.

@touristhawk 3 месяца назад

yeah but the cloth is so skin-tight and low poly. I meant more like a raincoat(realistic) made in marvelous designer?

@CGDive 3 месяца назад

@@touristhawk It really depends on the cloth and your goals. If it's realistic, then you may need additional bones and manual weight painting. Voxel Heat may help a bit but it is not a magic tool that solves all problems. That is what I tried to covey with the video, I hope it was clear enough.

Your Surface Head Diffuse Skinning from source is not working. I built and placed addon as described in the src readme, but am getting Python: Traceback - ...\Lib\subprocess.py CreateProcess FileNotFoundError: The system cannot find the file specified. This is after enabling the add on in blender and pressing the button to get rid of the automatic heat error in Blender 4.1

@CGDive 2 месяца назад

"Your Surface Head Diffuse Skinning" It is not mine. Watch the videos carefully :) Report to the actual developer. Thank you!

Honestly I think this addon is garbage. I can’t get anything close to what blender does natively or what ARP does for me. Not one time in the 2 weeks I’ve had it have I gotten a useable skin. Not once.

@CGDive Год назад

Obviously you are entitled to your opinion. I stand by mine which is that this is a tool in the toolbox. Works great in some cases and in others Automatic Weights can be better.
