Auto-normalized vertex weights are a god-send.<div><br></div><div>Being able to easily have a vertex that is only 50% seems like a good idea until you work on a system that lets you do that. Enormous amounts of time are wasted making sure the weights on each vertex sum up to 100%.</div>

The final weight of a bone for a vertex is the weight assigned to its group renormalized on the total of all weights on that vertex.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Man, you're right... So if I wanted a bone to effect a vertex exactly 50% then I would have to set the value of the vertex group tied to the bone to 1.0 then have another vertex group on that vertex with a weight value of 1.0 while vertices that gets effected 100% gets 0.0 as the weight on the other vertex group because the weights are being normalized.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Well, I suppose it's a bit confusing but short of writing, for lack of a better phrase, an "un-normalized additive contribution" mode of doing the weight calculations it can't be helped. I suppose this means the issues in more a sug then a bug at this point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for clearing that up.</div><div><br></div><div>btw, where would I bring up a sug/feature request like this? Is there an official list I can append to?</div></div>
