MEL and Python code to restore joint positions to their bind pose based on skincluster's .bindPreMatrix
Sometimes the bindPose node of a skincluster gets corrupted, however, the attribute.bindPreMatrix of the skincluster should be enough
to restore the world position of the joints. This MEL procedure reads off every .bindPreMatrix values of a skincluster, invert them, and set the world transformation of each corresponding joint in the skin cluster:
string $skinClusterName = "skinCluster25";
// get the list of joints connected to it
string $joints[] = `skinCluster -q -inf $skinClusterName`;
// loop through each joint
int $acc = 0;
for ($joint in $joints) {
float $m[] = `getAttr ($skinClusterName+".bindPreMatrix["+$acc+"]")`;
float $im[] = invertRowMajor($m);
xform -worldSpace -matrix $im[0] $im[1] $im[2] $im[3] $im[4] $im[5] $im[6] $im[7] $im[8] $im[9] $im[10] $im[11] $im[12] $im[13] $im[14] $im[15] $joint;
$acc = $acc + 1;
}
global proc float[] invertRowMajor(float $m[])
{

// Extra element to indicate if the inversion failed or not:
