Envelope weight map copy/projection...

Envelope weight map copy/projection...

Well that's the problem see, they are two different objects w/o the same
clusters... I don't really want to spend another hour (or more) weight
painting to exactly match the body weight map (which took an hour or more to
paint) underneath the clothing.  

The old script worked perfectly, it projected the weight map from one object
to the other... so even when the geometry wasn't the same, the weight map
would work correctly... I guess I may have to go see if I can fix the old
script to work with V4.  Softimage probably knows of this problem since they
took the old script off their site... I just wish they had fixed the problem
in V4 or in the old script.

You can either try saving presets out of the cluster and weight map and
reload them on the other object, or drag-n-drop the weight map property from

one object into the other, provided they have the same point cluster.
