Soft Cluster EX is a python and c++ based tool for converting soft selection to cluster or joint, supports common types of deformable geometry(e.g. polygon,nurbs ,subdiv and lattice) with a lot of advance features.

Hey, Would be awesome to be able to normalize the all cluster weights (and selected ones) so you don't get double transformation on parts of the mesh where the clusters area of effect overlap.
Its the only thing missing really for a complete Cluster making tool! :)
Google nClusterWeights.mel if you would like to see an example of a script like this.
Thanks
Thanks for suggestion, I 'll consider to add this feature, for now, you can create joints first (check the "J" button at right top of the icon button), then convert them to clusters, their weights would be normalize.
Thanks
