I have some problems about skin weight maps.

You do need a skin weight map. The mesh vertices are weighted to the bone. The bones animate the mesh.


When iClone physics is applied to the mesh.... The mesh needs a physics weight map to tell iclolne how to deform the mesh.


No.... but If you load a CC character into Maya and look for yourself..



I will help you understand.

Unfortunately, i could not understand. :rolleyes:
No need skin weight map?
Can you publish a tutorial?

It's a great way to learn.

Example: "Twist Bones"
RyderHS.... your looking for the "Correct Bones" to Mao in 3dxchange.

Find the "Bone" that controls each limb.

Practice..... "what controls the arm?"
> Rotate a bone that appears to be the "Shoulder Bone." <
"Does the entire arm rotate?"\
If so, map that bone as the "shoulder bone."

Find the "UpperArm Bone".... select the next bone in the hierarchy.
Map this as your Upperarm bone in 3dxchange.
_______________________________________________________________

Find the "Foream Bone"

CAREFUL HERE!
There is a Twist Bone... between the UpperArm and Forearm bones.
Thees bones helps prevent "Gimbal Lock."

This twist bone DOES NOT rotate "The Rest of the Arm"
It rotates "A Small Section of the Mesh."

Select the NEXT bone.  "This baby roates the arm PROPERLY.
This is your Forearm Bone for 3dxchange.
_____________________________________________________________

Now, find the bone that controls the entire leg.
= upperleg bone

Finally:
Find the bone that move the entire character.
= ROOT bone.

You do NOT map this twist bone in 3dxchange.
_________________________________________________________________________

Also: Twist Bones
Look at the characters skin (In Maya)
> Some bones are skin bones.
> Some bones ONLY Twist the Rig, NOT skinned to the mesh.
Write down ALL skin bones.... speeds up the whole process.

Until you find the tutorial your looking for.... Reallusion is a Great Teacher.
1. Load a CC character into Maya.
2. Write down the bone naming convention.
3. Pay attention to the bones "Hierarchy."

...simple skin and bones.

Now create Maya bones using Maya Hunam IK names.
Link Correctly
FREEZE there Rotations.
Skin it.
