Average Vertex Skin Weight 2.0 beta (Python only)

Have had some time lately to to what I wanted to do for quite some time.
While using the brush it usually screw up vertices that are modeled to be close to each other, i.e. for stylize character with hard edges or hard surface stuff.

This is an attempt to fix the problem by adding "distance between surrounding vertices" into the calculation.

UPDATE:
 - Supports undo/redo.
 - Supports maintain max influence set on the skinCluster node.
 - Optimized (I did try, really.)
 - Big changes in calculation.
   Averaging weights will take distance between its
   surroundings into account.

Average Vertex Skin Weight Brush!

    A custom brush for smoothing skin weight. It takes its surrounding vertices weights and blend it to the original weights. The result is kinda like hammer weight tool, but with brush you can paint on.

    Base on the original 'tf_smoothSkinWeight.py' by Tom Ferstl posted on createivecrash.com
I did a little modification. The brush now performs a little faster and supports undo/redo.
Please see: creative crash link


How to use  : 1.Put averageVertexSkinWeightCmd.py to your plugin path.
                         (ie. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\maya<Version>\bin\plug-ins)
                      2.Put averageVertexSkinWeightBrush.py to your python path.
                         (ie. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\maya\<Version>\scripts)
                      3.Execute the following python command.

import averageVertexSkinWeightBrush
averageVertexSkinWeightBrush.paint()

Enjoy!
