Copy Weight Layers #

When the hair is copied across different objects, the weight will not be copied. Use the function below to copy the weight to other objects.

Only Active: Only copy the weight of selected hair.

Match ID: If both objects have different hair, the weight layers of the copied hair will not match the original particle system. Enable this option to make the copied weight layers match the original particle system.

Remove Weight Layers: Enable this option to clear the weight layers of the current object, and keep the weight layers of the selected object.

Weight Brush #

Add Display Grayscale to the Weight Brush, enable this option to display weight in grayscale mode.

Note #

• The weight layer is bound with the Particle Settings, and the weight layers will be cleared if Particle Settings are cleared.
• Due to the limitation of Blender, even though the weight layers belong to the particle system, they are stored in the objects, which is similar to the vertex groups of objects. So the weight layers will not be copied when the particle system is copied.
