Mmhhh....so Gator is still the easiest way to solve this issue and I see that is still use as a primary solution.... Well, considering that I basically exported the rig from Maya because of the same issue I'll just finish the skin weighting in Softimage by probably using the "cage" envelope trick, or just by remove the unnecessary clothes, do the weighting and then Gator upon the removed geometry. Thanks guys and thanks for Gator :-D
