Thanks for the infos Lisa !

You seem to be a very good 3D technical honestly.
I already was aware of vertices weights in an animation work for smooth animation purposes, and I've made some use of that sometimes, but that weight map ... this is the first time I see that.

2 other questions if you don't mind :

- How do you create a weight map ? I mean, I know how to create greyscale pictures for bump maps, and b/w pictures for opacity maps, but ... are you "painting" black vertices and white vertices on a grey background for a weight map or ... ? If so, how can you be accurate in this job ?

- What softwares make a use of these weight maps ?

TIA
