- dictWeightFlipGroups, return a vert weight with flipped group names.
- dictWeightMerge, takes a list of dictWeights and merges them
mesh_mirror_tool.py
Added vertex weight support for the mirror tool, its able to mirror arbitary meshes weights with optional name flipping and creation of name flipped groups.
This also uses the mode for l<>r, l>r, r>l so you can copy from left to right only for eg.
Exporter free's mesh vertex data each run (was causing memory errors when exporting fluidsim meshes... poke ken for Mesh.Unlink() since many meshes are still created)
Exporter had an indentation error also.
Added an NMesh wrapper around Mesh for importers to use, so as to work around slow 1 by 1 adding of data. used in upcoming flt_importer update.
Mesh cleanup now has the dangerous option to perform a cleanup on ALL mesh data. (needed it for a project)
Made obj_export use getMeshFromObject
obj_export now copies images from mtex as well as texface when copy images enabled.
obj_export tested to work with exporting fluidsim animations (somebody reported it was broken, must have been fixed at some point?)
at the moment it only has meshWeight2Dict and dict2MeshWeight
These allow you to deal with vertex weights as a list of dicts which makes scrips short and easy to understand.
(kh_python, perhaps dict access to the python verts could replace this )
Used the above util functions to update mesh_cleanup.
Copied from the source
'Material Clean', 'Remove unused materials.'
'VGroups'
'Group Clean', 'Remove vertex groups that have no verts using them.'
'Weight Clean', 'Remove zero weighted verts from groups (limit is zero threshold).'
'Weight Normalize', 'Make the sum total of vertex weights accross vgroups 1.0 for each vertex.'
Normalizing lets you see how much % of the vertex a bone owns just by looking at 1 of the bone weights.
Would be nice to have this functionality in Blender but theres not much room for new buttons in teh vgroup and material area :/
