Brief for anyone who needs it: 1. Both models have to be Bind Skin. 2. Same Scale and Position Joint. 3. Select Original Model then Select New Model -> Copy Skin Weight ( Default Option ). The best Maya Rigging TH-cam channel so far.
This was really helpful, thank you. All I needed was the bit about about copying skin weights but I didn't know it and it was hard to find elsewhere. Really good stuff.
If anyone is struggling with this not giving the expected results, something to consider is that when you come to put the rough skin on the mesh you want to transfer the weights to, you must select EXACTLY the same joints that were skinned when the skin was bound for the source geometry. A quick way to automatically check this is to select the source geometry and run this mel script: $sel = `ls -sl`; select -r `skinCluster -q -inf (findRelatedSkinCluster($sel[size($sel)-1]))`; This will select all the joints skinned to the source geometry. Now they're selected, bind the rough skin. Now the skin weights should transfer correctly.
@2:47 Does the clothed character still have the full body underneath the clothes? Or are the arms head etc chopped off at the clothes cuffs? I'm confused because I'm trying to add clothing layers to a naked character, I've got the naked character mesh itself plus some items like a jumper, boots, jacket etc. And whatever I do, I can't seem to bind them with a perfect solution.

Thanks again! Nice tips! Is there a tutorial that you have done, on combining joint based facial rig and blend shape rig, including which one goes in the front of the chain? Especially when it comes to dialogues vs expressions. I know you have a series on facial rig, which I haven't gone through yet. So, if that is covered there, then please ignore this message.

Quick note - In order to copy the weight paints, both meshes have to be binded to the same skeleton - Hope that helps :)

Is there a way of copying skinning data from a selection of vertices from one mesh to a selection of vertices on a target mesh?
I appreciate your help! It's tricky to move from Blender to Maya.
Thanks a lot!!! I love this so much!

Wait a minute, ng skin tools wasn’t free last month was it? It was rather expsive if I’m not mistaken. Since when is it free?
They’ve always had a free version, and the standard is only £65.
