"ATM, converting Aiko 3 to weight mapping remains a pipe dream, it may never get done."

if someone would be willing to help me packing her up for redistribution, I wouldn't mind sharing her.
Thighs, shoulders and knees: Left WM, right original sphere rigging
Buttock comparison: Left original, right WM. Thighs only posing.
Splitting BEND across thighs and buttocks helps the original rig, but the WM is still better. (Thigh pose only)
Pink WM, blue original rig. Ellbows, thighs, knees, feet.
Knee and foot comparison
Buttock comparison
Chest and abdomen comparison.
This is only a partial weightmap, btw. Several bodyparts like hands and fingers are perfectly fine "as is", so no need to waste resorces by adding weightmaps.
"Twist" also doesn't really benefit from weightmapping, so I left it alone.
All original JCM's have been deleted.
Adding a few for "squishy" flesh deformation wouldn't hurt though, but it would make cloth conversion/modification harder.
Maybe later I add a few.
Besides, as are all my other weightmaps, these are "Open Source". As long as you respect DAZ original copyright, feel free to improve and modify my work and redistribute them.

But as I said, I'd really appreciate some help in the original packaging, hosting and redistribution.
