This looks like a very useful tool. Someone has to do a good tutorial as to its practical use however.

If somone knows such a tutorial let share it here please.

Yeah, that’s part of the plan at some point, but I’m quite busy getting my other addon Alpha Trees ready for its next update at the moment.

After that, though, I think I’ll definitely be writing some documentation, and also maybe do a video tutorial on how to use it.

Ok I’ll definitely make a tutorial video, but it’ll probably still be a couple of weeks before I can work on it.

Hi Jason, yeah, I actually have an updated version that works in 3.2 and also has a bunch of new layers.
Unfortunately I didn’t get round to releasing it, and I’m currently away from my computer for a while :frowning:
I’ll try my best to release it soon, but it all depends whether I can upload the files remotely (I really should have thought of this before I went away :sweat_smile:)

Sorry for the wait :frowning:

Ok, I’m finally back, and I can now release:

weight layers 2.1

It includes 5 new layers:

  • Camera cull
  • Is inside mesh
  • Blur
  • Normalize
  • Map range

It also has a bunch of bug fixes, including the one that prevented it from working in Blender 3.2 :sweat_smile:

And so now the layer list looks like this:

Hope you like it!

just one question? dose the new version use named atributes insted of the old pass thru way?

33

also i get an error when using it:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Usersl\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\addons\weight_layers_addon\WL_ui.py”, line 100, in draw
mod_group = WL_functions.get_wl_mod_group(context)
File “C:\Usersl\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\addons\weight_layers_addon\WL_functions.py”, line 204, in get_wl_mod_group
group.wl.type = GROUP_TYPES[“stack_list”]
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘wl’

34

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, somehow I managed to re-upload the old version rather than the new one, if you download it again now, it should be working :sweat_smile:

I’m not quite sure what you mean? As in the new named attribute nodes in 3.2?

yes so it looks more clean on the modefier

36

Ah, yeah, that’s fairly high on my to-do list at the moment, so it should happen fairly soon. Changing to using named attribute nodes should also simplify the code significantly, which should reduce the likelihood of bugs appearing.

Hi I’m also experiencing the bug that doesn’t allow you to add layers after downloading the 2.1 update

38

Huh, that’s weird, what error does it produce?

39

ok so update it seems the issue has been resolved for some odd reason after I redownloaded and reinstalled the addon in both 3.2 &3.3
