How to retrieve a vertex weight in the group?

Hello!

I’ve gone through the tutorial of skinning and I know how to assign vertices with different weights to vertex groups, how to use weight paint. But now I need to retrieve the weight of the given vertex in the group. The only thing I found is a weight paint, however it doesn’t give the precise weight of the vertex, just the color. Is there any way to retrieve the weight of the vertex in the group?

Thank you.

(1) In Edit Mode, select the vertex you want to know the weight(s) of.
(2) From the 3D View menu, select Mesh --> Scripts --> Selected Vertex Group Dump
(3) Select “Vertex Groups With Weights” from the popup
(4) Switch to your Blender console to see your data.

Hope this helps.

I am sorry, but I don’t see this script. I have Blender 2.37a. Could you email this script to me maybe?

My appologies. I thought it came with the standard Blender installation, but now that I look it over it’s one I installed.

You can get it from here.

Place it in your ~/.blender/scripts directory. After that it should appear in the menu.

Good luck.

That’s grand! Thank you very much! It works very well in Blender 2.37a, but doesn’t want to work with new 2.40-alpha. It says no groups :frowning:
