Why we like it

Earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a focused set of weight-painting conveniences, maintained by Mets and kept current with fixes like those in version 1.0.9.

What is EasyWeight?

EasyWeight is a weight-painting add-on for Blender, created by Mets, that groups together quality-of-life improvements for the weight painting workflow. It runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and requires no special permissions to install.

Among its tools is Symmetrize Weights, which handles weights symmetrically across the sides of a model, including center groups. Documentation is published on the developer's page, and the add-on is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Version 1.0.9 addresses two issues: brush settings that appeared grayed out, and Symmetrize Weights not working correctly on center groups because the destination side of weights wasn't wiped before symmetrizing. EasyWeight has been downloaded more than 50,000 times and holds a five-star average across 29 reviews in the Blender extensions library.
