Prune insignificant smooth skin weights

In some cases, the normalization process can create small weight values across the mesh as it normalizes the total skin weight for each point to total 1.

These small weights have no discernible effect on the skin, but they can slow down processing. Pruning these small weights can speed up processing time.

To prune small skin weights

  1. Select the skin or specific skin points.
  2. Select Skin > Prune Small Weights > to open the Prune Small Weights options in theSkin menu.
  3. In the Prune Below box, set the threshold weight.
