  Another must-have Blender addon from Mesh Online. Corrective Smooth Baker is extremely helpful for improving model deformations in constrained environments - like older game engines - especially when corrective shapes are not feasible and bone influences are limited. I have only very recently started using this addon, but it has already saved the day (and hours of work) for some troublesome models. The weight baking procedure gives a significant improvement to rough weighting and costs less than a minute or two, whereas cleaning things by up hand could take hours on complex models.

  I absolutely recommend this addon, especially if you are working with older/constrained animation technology, like in my case. It is not a magic feather, but it is the icing on the cake that can fix those final problem spots very quickly.

  Thank you, William! I have spent four months to make this little add-on from scratch, I wish it can be useful for game developers.

  Well, I wasn't sure if I needed CSB but I use Unity a lot and have quite a few game character models I've picked up over the years so I figured I'd give it a shot. After experimenting with it for a couple of hours I can definitely say that it can be beneficial.

  I tried it on a character model where, like in the demo video, I didn't like the weighting around the shoulder and armpits and it did an excellent job at fixing it. It did take some trial and error to get the results I was happy with but it definitely would have taken much longer to fix the weighting by hand.

  So I can say with certainty that I'm glad I picked up CSB. :-)

  Thank you Benedict, you can try baking with highest quality, for some complicated armatures, the default high quality may bring trial errors, but to bake with highest quality may cost a much longer time.
