Hello!

This is a little test i wanted to do. I have done stuff like this before but it was in-reverse. In my FREE BCS character libraries, when i made them i manually painted them and then split them into parts.

In this video i'm doing the opposite and attempting to generate a reasonable starting point for weight painting. By using auto-weights on separate meshes with separate rig parts, then combining them.

The main reason i am doing it is for clarity when working on facial rigs.
