Skin Save/Load Tool
Some had asked me to package the previous code together into a tool. I was reluctant because there were many situations where it just didn’t work. I made something to aid a discussion on the beta forum.
However, accidentally, I seem to have the code working. It’s odd, but the solution to skinClusters not being paintable after deformerWeights was used to load them was to try and make another skinCluster (which errors, but fixes the Artisan issue).
I have tossed this on GitHub here:
