If you're a Blender user, you've probably had the need to copy vertex groups from one object to another at some point. It's a fairly simple process, but there's a few things you need to know in order to do it correctly.

In order to copy vertex groups from one object to another, you need to have both objects selected. Then, go into the Object Data tab and expand the Vertex Groups section. You should see a list of all the vertex groups for both objects.

To copy a vertex group from one object to another, simply select the group you want to copy and click the Copy button. This will copy the selected group to the other object.

Now, you may notice that the copied group doesn't show up in the list of groups for the other object. This is because the group hasn't been assigned to any vertices yet. To do this, select the group you want to assign and click the Assign button.

You should now see the group in the list for the other object. If you want to rename the group, you can do so by clicking the Rename button.

And that's all there is to copying vertex groups in Blender!

Q: How do you copy vertex weights in blender?

A: There is no built-in way to do this in Blender, but you can use a Python script to do it. The following script will copy the weights from one vertex to another:

v1 = bm.verts[0] # first vertex v2 = bm.verts[1] # second vertex

for group in v1.groups: # iterate over vertex groups weight = group.weight # get weight v2.add_to_group(group.index, weight) # add weight to second vertex

Q: How do I select multiple vertex groups in Blender?

A: In Edit mode, select the vertices you want to add to a vertex group.

Click the "Add to Group" button in the Vertex Groups panel.

In the Add to Group popup, select the vertex group you want to add the vertices to.

Click the "Add to Group" button.

Q: How do you copy and paste weights in blender?

A: 1. Select the mesh you want to copy the weights from. 2. Go into Edit mode and select the vertices you want to copy the weights from. 3. Press Ctrl+C to copy the weights. 4. Select the mesh you want to paste the weights to. 5. Go into Edit mode and select the vertices you want to paste the weights to. 6. Press Ctrl+V to paste the weights.

Q: How do I find the vertex groups in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to find the vertex groups in Blender. One way is to go into Edit Mode, select all of the vertices, and then go into the Properties panel (press N while in Edit Mode to open it). In the Properties panel, there is a drop-down menu under the "Display" heading. Select "Vertex Groups" from this menu, and all of the vertex groups will be displayed in the list.

Another way to find the vertex groups is to go into Object Mode and select the object. Then, go into the Properties panel and select the "Object Data" tab. Under the "Vertex Groups" heading, there will be a list of all of the vertex groups for the object.
