Hi guys!

Do you know how to copy paste Weight Painted bone from one to another? I forgot to use mirror X ;(
I want to Copy foot.R.001 weight to foot.L.001 bone.

Both options did not worked for me(

Weights are partially being transferred. (mirror failed)

Did you try this (from the link above):

Tip

Mirror to Opposite Bone

If you want to create a mirrored weight group for the opposite bone (of a symmetric character), then you can do this:

  1. Delete the target vertex group (where the mirrored weights will be placed).
  2. Create a copy of the source bone vertex group (the group containing the weights which you want to copy).
  3. Rename the new vertex group to the name of the target vertex group (the group you deleted above).
  4. Select the target vertex group and call the Mirror tool (use only the Mirror weights option and optionally Topology Mirror if your mesh is not symmetric).

Thanks dude,
this kinda worked but it seems my character is not really symmetrical. I did all the process again with mirror and now it works, thanks!

Great, there’s also this from the link above

Topology Mirror

Mirror for meshes which are not fully symmetric (approximate mirror). See here for more information.

And you could try Symmetrize
