What I like to do in these situations is to make a script that makes the
Weightmap and applies an ICE tree/compound and then freezes it, all in one fell
swoop. That way you get ICE to do all the hard work, but it runs just like
you’ve done it all by script.

Thanks for your answers!
I already coded it with my original idea, and so far it works fine.
Since I guess an ICE alternative would faster for high poly objects, I'll try
that later.

Hi Martin
Paul's answered how to copy weight values from one object to another. He's
got an old video where he showed how to write to a weight map, which may be
useful : https://vimeo.com/19031487 . It's uses a distance test rather than
copying values but the set up for how to write a weight map may be of interest.
There are a number of really good videos in that channel on geometry
manipulation, if you have the time it's probably worth going through them.

Its very easy in ICE. but you will have to have a map existing to write to
as ICE cant generate Maps.
There is a get closest points node. Which returns an array of locations. If
you just want one point, then the nearest will be the first in the array
so in ICE its a bit like this
OTHER OBJECT------GETCLOSESTPOINTS--------SELECT IN ARRAY (select the
first, which is 0)--------GETDATA(weightmap.weights)--------SETDATA(this
object’s weightmap that you have made to write it to)
If you freeze the ICE tree, its now permanent.

Subject: Get Closest Point in another geometry
Hi list,
I'm trying to write a tool to snap to the closest points and copy their
weights, so these points would have the same position and the same weights. But
I can't find a method or property besides Geometry.GetClosestLocation, which
gives me the location in the geometry, not the closest point.
My only idea would be to use the GetClosestLocation and then get the points
from the polygon in that location and iterate between those points.
Is there any easier or direct way to do this?
I would try ICE but I'm don't know how to copy the weights with ICE, or if
this is possible, or how to get the ICE information to use it to copy weights
through scripting.
Thanks
Martin
