How to create a vertex group in Python?
I want to create a small Script that works with any object, but I need to create a new Vertex group of the selected vertices with Python
How to change the list of selected vertices in Python?
This is done when you switch back to object mode. You can verify this by switching to edit mode, select some vertices from your object, execute your code, then select different vertices (still in edit mode) and run your script again. You will notice that your list of selected vertices in the Python console will not change.
Is there a way to edit the vertex group?
This icon indicates that the vertex group can be edited. You can add vertex assignments to the group or remove assignments from the group. And you can change it with the weight paint brushes, etc. When you click on the icon, it changes to a closed padlock icon and all vertex group modifications get disabled.
How to iterate vertices of a vertex group?
Once you know the Object has the group then you can iterate Mesh.vertices and each vertex will have Vertex.groups that have an index back to the Object group. i.e.
When do you make a vertex group in Blender?
Testing shows that uniquely named vertex groups are retained when joining mesh objects. Instead of doing this manually (boring) can speed it up with a script. Running script below will give each mesh object in selected objects a vertex group named after the object containing all verts with weight set to 1.
Is there a way to remove vertex assignments?
You can add vertex assignments to the group or remove assignments from the group. And you can change it with the weight paint brushes, etc. When you click on the icon, it changes to a closed padlock icon and all vertex group modifications get disabled. You can only rename or delete the group, and unlock it again.
How to batch delete vertex groups in Blender?
Here is a quick script I did to quickly delete a few vertex groups at once very simple to use, just run the script. thats it…
How to manipulate vertex groups using bmesh in Blender?
This example uses BMesh to manipulate edit-mode vertex groups directly using dictionary like access where the keys are vertex group indices and the values are floating point weights.
Why are vertex groups stored in loops but not Verts?
IE, vertex colors are stored in loops, not verts… but vertex groups are stored in verts, not loops! UVs make sense, because you could have more than one uv coordinate per very if it’s on a seam. What’s not entirely clear to me is why some data is stored in some elements but not others.
