Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

Hey!

I’m creating a rig with the ARTv1 tools (updated them via dropbox link within the last month) and have a question on using the Hammer Weights tool.

I’m having a problem that after selecting vertices and then using the ARTv1 Hammer Weights tool, I get an error saying I need to have some vertices selected. I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong and just not understanding the workflow, or if there’s a bug present.

Here’s the workflow I’m using:
Select geo and click the Paint Weights in ARTv1.
Switch to Select mode within the tool, and select the verts I want to apply the Hammer Weights operation. I can visually see that the verts are selected.
Switch back to the Paint mode (at this point I no longer can visually see the vert selection), and then click the Hammer Weights button in the ARTv1 Skin Tools bar. Error: The weight hammer works on polygon vertices. Select at least one vertex.

Am I doing something wrong? I couldn’t find any documentation on that workflow, and didn’t find anything else within the forums. Sorry if this topic has already been covered elsewhere.

P.S. Thanks a ton for providing this toolset! It’s really helpful and I am eagerly looking forward to ARTv2.

Cheers,
