Weight Inspector<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Weights Inspector displays the number of weights per vertex by creating a colorized texture (using vertex paint) where each color stands for a specific number of weights (see further down)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The Weight inspector only works on Objects which are bound to an armature. Otherwise the inspector can not determine the weights per bone.<\/p>\n

You find the tool in the Avastar Tool Box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For Blender up to version 3.2:
\nWhen you click on the Button Weight Count on Mesh<\/em>, then Blender creates a new Vertex Color layer named spk_weights_per_weight. The vertices are colored depending on the number of bones from which they are influenced.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Since Blender version 3.3:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

When you click on the Button Weight Count on Mesh<\/em>, then Blender creates a new Color Attribute layer named spk_weights_per_weight. The vertices are colored depending on the number of bones from which they are influenced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The color code is defined as follows:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
0 Bones
\n1 Bone
\n2 Bones
\n3 Bones
\n4 Bones
\nMore than 4 Bones<\/div>\n
Black (1)<\/em>
\nLight Grey
\nGreen
\nYellow
\nOrange
\nRed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Note:<\/strong> The SL Avatar uses no more than 2 weights on each vertex. The image shows the upper Body. There you see that even on the collars you find only 2 weights per vertex.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
