Bake Vertex Parenting

Bake Vertex Parenting is an addon that automates the process of attaching auxiliary objects to a target mesh. It utilizes the origin point of the object to determine the attachment location and automatically generates the corresponding weight paint and shape keys to ensure the object deforms correctly with the underlying surface.

To use the tool, items must be separated into individual meshes. Users can trigger the automated attachment from a dedicated side panel. If the automatic calculation does not produce the desired behavior, users can manually set up the vertex parent relationship and then use the addon's bake function to finalize the shape keys and weights.
