Weight Map > Texture Maps?

Is there a way to generate a texture map from a weight map, based on the uvs? This would be sort of similar to the way Zbrush works in that you paint on the model, then the program fits the image to your uvs when you generate the map? Thanks! Chris Covelli http://www.polygonpusherinc.com/ http

Vertex order matching

have no idea how to implement this but I imagine it would involve picking the the "0" vertex of the source mesh and then pick what you want the "0" vertex of the target mesh and then it could compute the rest. Anyone know if this is possible? -- Chris Covelli http://kylevargas.net/
