Blender Market – Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning v3.5.2:
How Can It Help Me? This add-on tackles three common skinning challenges:
- Resolving Blender's 'bone heat weighting: failed to find a solution for one or more bones' message.
- Handling ignored body parts or accessories, requiring manual vertex weight fixes.
- Addressing dissatisfaction after spending considerable time fixing vertex weights.
Quick Start: Effortlessly generate perfect vertex weights for a character in under five minutes, ideal for intricate setups like a soldier with various equipment.
The Story: Born out of a need for a 3D character, this add-on overcomes Blender's automatic armature deform limitations. It uses ray tracing technology to create a robust voxel grid, ensuring accurate results. The unique combination of heat map diffuse skinning and voxel heat diffuse skinning delivers perfection, setting a milestone for Blender's armature deform capabilities.
Introduction: Traditional heat map diffuse skinning struggles with non-seamless characters. Voxel heat diffuse skinning converts non-seamless characters into solid statues, allowing natural vertex weights. While Autodesk's Maya and 3ds Max have utilized this feature for years, Blender users can now benefit from it.
Interface: Appearing in the animation tab when selecting sub-meshes and the armature, the interface simplifies voxel heat diffuse skinning with a single click.
Blender Version: Proven compatibility with Blender v2.8 - v4.1.0 Alpha.
Platform: Support for Linux (x86_64/arm64), Windows 7-11 (x86_64/x86/arm64), macOS 10.9-12.4 (x86_64/arm64). Supports both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows.
CPU: Utilizes multiple CPU cores for enhanced speed.
Memory: Requires a minimum of 8GB RAM for high voxel resolution.
How To Install: Navigate to 'Edit->User Preferences->Add-ons' in Blender, click 'Install Add-on from file...' and select 'voxel_skinning-3.5.0.zip'. Activate the add-on, click 'Save User Settings,' and close the window. Avoid manually copying to prevent potential issues.
Personal Workflow: Select sub-meshes and one armature, ensuring all sub-meshes are selected before running voxel heat diffuse skinning for optimal results.
Team Workflow: Distribute voxel heat diffuse tasks to a powerful server for accelerated performance using the command line tool.
Update Version 3.5.2:
- Added the 'Max Raycast Hit Count' option in the 'Joint Alignment Tool' add-on.
