Hey, I’ve been working on a realtime soft selection skinning tool, let me know if you guys think its a pretty good concept.

Starts being used about 12 minutes into the video.
The UI Tooltips don’t seem to show up when viewing the recorded video, not sure how i can fix that, using camtasia, if anyone knows, please feel free to enlighten me.
Basically it has everything the the soft selection section has when modeling, aside from the paint options for obvious reasons (we already have a paint skin weights tool), along with the ability to mix certain weighting modes (replace vertex weight, increase vertex weight, reduce vertex weight, and blend vertex weight modes can be mixed with partial weight mode which pretty much just multiplies the difference in before and after weights by the set % according to the chosen vertex weight mode, and overwrite partially weighted vertex which just removes the vertices weights from the selected bone that are not being adjusted by the soft selection as long as they are partially weighted to another bone).
Haven’t had any time to make any sort of pdf or layout of all the buttons and what they do yet, but the tooltips are extremely descriptive, if only camtasia would of captured them.
