Use this tutorial to understand how to copy weights of any armature to a mesh which can only be designed easily in a pose.
Also applicable to transfer weights from posed armature to a mesh which requires the armature to be posed in such a way to make it look right.
This is useful mostly for game characters and when you need to retarget animations across similar armatures and need to maintain a rest pose like T-pose or A-pose.
In this video I show you how to setup the heeled shoe for a manuel bastioni lab character but it should work for similar cases.
You can also use this method if you are modelling clothes and shoes on a posed armature and need to be able to transfer the weights from the posed armature.
Thanks for watching.
