Vertex Skin Weights
Vertex Skin Weights by Melo Wilo is a Blender add-on for riggers and animators who need exact numbers, not guesses, when weight painting. Edit vertex weights numerically across several bones at once, nudge and normalise, copy, paste and mirror weights, and transfer them between meshes, with real-time feedback on how each bone influences the selection. Supports Blender 4.2 and 5.0.

What it does
Three weight painting problems it takes off your plate
The problem
Painting can't land on an exact value
Blender's default tools suit broad adjustments. On shoulders, elbows and facial rigs you need a precise weight, so Vertex Skin Weights lets you edit the value numerically.
The problem
Guessing how the bones share a vertex
Instead of switching between panels and judging weights by paint alone, you get real-time feedback on how each bone influences the selected vertices, and can edit several bones at once.
The problem
Repainting weights you already got right
Copy and paste vertex weights, mirror them across bones, or transfer them to a different mesh, so good deformation gets reused rather than painted twice.
Inside the tool
Inside Vertex Skin Weights
It works alongside Blender's standard weight painting tools rather than replacing them. Paint the broad strokes as usual, then refine deformation where it matters most with exact values, while keeping the deformation balanced across multiple bones.
MULTI-BONE
Edit several bones at once
Adjust weights on multiple bones simultaneously.
NUMERIC
Precise numerical editing
Set weight values directly for the selected vertices.
NUDGE
Nudge and normalise
Quick weight nudging and normalisation.
COPY
Smart copy and paste
Copy vertex weights and paste them where you need them.
MIRROR
Weight mirroring
Mirror weights across bones.
TRANSFER
Transfer between meshes
Move weights from one mesh to a different one.
FEEDBACK
Real-time bone influence
See how bones influence the selected vertices as you work.
