SKINSMART WEIGHT DOCTOR
BLENDER 4.5 LTS — 5.x
rigging / non-humanoid / deterministic

Broken skin weights, diagnosed & fixed. Your topology untouched.

Auto-weights fail exactly where it hurts — quadrupeds, wings, tails, creatures. SkinSmart scans your rig, shows you why every joint deforms badly, and re-solves only the broken regions with a deterministic geodesic pass. No remeshing. No cloud. No neural guesswork. Runs alongside Auto-Rig Pro.

01 / EVIDENCE

Same mesh. Same skeleton. One click apart.

Creature test rig in a crouch pose with collapsed, shredded leg junctions caused by broken automatic weights
BEFORE — auto weights▲ junctions collapse
The same creature and pose after SkinSmart's local re-solve, with smooth junctions and intact volume
AFTER — SkinSmart re-solve● topology preserved

// development test rig, unretouched headless renders — real production-rig demos are what the beta is for. Objective check: fixed junctions show the fewest new self-intersections of any method we test against, including Blender's own re-bind and Weight Blur.

02 / PROCEDURE

Diagnose free. Fix when it's worth $39.

STEP 01
FREE

Scan

Point it at any mesh + armature. Get a color-coded heatmap and a ranked issue list — every flag tells you which metric tripped and why, never a black-box score.

STEP 02

Review

You stay in charge. Adjust sensitivity, dismiss intentional weighting, inspect each region in the viewport before anything changes. Read-only until you say otherwise.

STEP 03

Re-solve

A geodesic heat pass re-solves only the flagged regions, feathered at the boundary, anchored to the weights you already trust. Non-destructive, one-click undo.

03 / DESIGN CONSTRAINTS

Built for production rigs, not tech demos.

§1 Topology is sacred

Never remeshes, never re-parents, never touches your UVs or edge flow. Fixes the weights on your mesh — the thing cloud auto-riggers can't do.

§2 Non-humanoid first

Quadrupeds, wings, tails, multi-limb creatures — the rigs Mixamo and AccuRig reject and humanoid-only AI tools ignore.

§3 Deterministic, 100% local

Geodesic mathematics, not a neural model. Same input, same output, every time. No cloud upload, no account, no telemetry you didn't opt into.

§4 Honest about scope

Rigid mechanical rigs, driver-based deformation, geometry nodes? It tells you it's the wrong tool instead of mangling your work.

04 / BETA ACCESS

The free analyzer ships first.
Waitlist gets the fix engine early — and $10 off.
