weightGeometryFilter node

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

Base class for deformations that use weights that correspond to components. For example, clusters use the weights to store their percentages: one "weightList" per geometry, and each geometry's percentages are stored in "weights".

Within the weights attribute, the weights are stored in the index that corresponds to the related point's 1-dimensional cvIndex. For curves and polys, the cvIndex corresponds to the actual cvIndex. For nurbs surfaces, the cvIndex = (totalV * uIndex + vIndex). For lattices, the cvIndex = (totalS * (totalT * u + t) + s).
