Chapter 8: Map Tab 259Color ScaleThis adjusts the strength of red gradient color in the WeightValue display mode. This is only a display setting, so changingthis value does not affect the actual weight value.Click the + button to scale up the weight values using the valueset in the input field next to the button. You can also scale it up bypressing the “+” key. Click the - button to scale down the weightvalue using the value set in the input field next to the button. Youcan also scale it down by pressing the “-” key.Calculating WeightTo calculate weight using a falloff, select the Calc subtab onthe Weight tab. Basically, this function works the same as theModeler plugin Bone Weight. Note that any weight calculationswill be normalised.A weight map scaled up from the bone’s starting pointFalloff specifies how the weight value is calculated. Linear setsthe bone weight closest to the point to 1.0. Other weight is setto 0.0. Distance uses the inverse of the distance from point tobone as weight value. Other options (e.g., Distance ^ 32) usethe distance raised to a specific power. Higher powers cause aquicker falloff.Calculate Weights executes the calculation based on thesettings you have chosen.A weight map scaled up from the bone’s ending pointScaling WeightTo scale weight values, select the Scale subtab on the Weight tab.The Scale setting specifies how the weight values are scaled.WholeScales all weight value uniformly.At Start JointAt End JointScales values using the bone’s startingpoint (the fat end) as the center.Scales values using the bone’s endingpoint (the sharp end) as the center.
