How to use Mesh to paint weight to another

Question

I need to paint weight on a surface with precision. Can i put another mesh on my plane and paint it with that?

I have this "gray" plane and this "pink" shape. i want to use the pink shape to weight paint the plane below

Thank You

Can you expand that question a little more. Are you trying to paint a specific shape? — Todd McIntosh, Jul 22 '15 at 14:55

You could use dynamic paint to do that. Make the plane a canvas, and the pink object a brush, and set the plane's surface type to Weight.

Note: you should be aware that the resolution of the weight painting depends on the subdivision of the plane.
