Data Transfer Trouble

Having an issue with the Data Transfer modifier all of a sudden.
I use this modifier all the time and it works fine, but for some reason it’s just not working properly with this one object.
I’m trying to transfer vertex groups and weight, have it set for ‘nearest vertex’, ‘all layers’ and ‘by name’.
Yet when I hit the ‘generate data layers’ button, only the vertex groups themselves are transferring and not the weights with them. (everything is just set at 0.000 weight)

Could I be doing something wrong or is it just bugged out?
I say bugged because sometimes the model does change appearance (as though the transfer worked) sometimes when I hit the button, but then resets as soon as I do anything else…so it has me wondering if it’s just borked ._.

  1. Easiest way to transfer weights:
  • selected object: source
  • active object: destination
  • in weight paint mode:
  • Toolshelf > Weight Tools > Transfer Weights
  1. Nobody can tell you if it’s a bug or not without looking at the blend file.

Ah, that worked much better. Thanks~

If your first attempt for not working as intended, it would benefit everyone if you could report it as a bug so it could be investigated !
