Does Softimage have a tool similar to "Interactive Skin Bind" in Maya?

The closest things are bounding volumes, but you need to create and assign the shapes yourself. It's not automatic like in Maya.

When you're done with the initial weighting and want to start adjusting point weights individually, it's a good idea to freeze the envelope weights or else updates will be slow (the initial weighting from the bounding volumes will keep getting re-evaluated).
