So I've created two models of equal sizes and shapes in blender 1.8 and would like to do the following tasks on one of the models:
- Copy skin weights from one model to another
- Add vertex paint to some parts of the first model
- Add the option "bindskin"(I used Maya before)
- Reduce polycount without losing details
- Rigging the ponytail of the hair of the model
Now I'm facing the following problems:
- I'm not getting options to copy skin weights in blender
- I tried my best to apply vertex paint but the paintbrush is simply not painting anything, not even an edge
- "Bindskin" Option isn't present in blender
- I used decimate modifier to reduce polycount but in that case the hair of the model looks like polygons glued together
- I'm failing to make one of the bones the parent of the other. Is there a shortcut key for this? I used drag+shift+drop in this case
What can I do to avert these problems? I'm intermediate in blender
