Poser Pro 2012 has the tools in its Joint Editor to be able to replace existing jointing with the equivalent weight mapping, however at three joint rotations per body part and 50+ parts that is a boat load of work.
Sounds like a job for Python but no method existed. So we asked for one, and SM came through. Still under test but I'm happy to say that it looks like it is working. Way to go SM :)
Yes if I'd known before I could have saved a number of folks a lot of work but I only got the beta update today and wrote the script this evening so I'm posting now. There is no point in me posting the script yet because it will not work in your version yet. I most certainly will when the Pro update is released. The script is only 20 lines of code and once the method is known its a no brainer to write so I'm not being particularly clever here :)
So for now I suggest that we concentrate on the best method of distributing weight map data without infringing on any CR2 file copyright.
