quick thing if u join stuff it doesnt mess up ur shapes! i had a mirror mod on and learned way to late it wont work so i duplicated flipped and joined and it worked as i wanted it to!

[@FerziIsayev]

Thanks Bro

[@ISlayerSwift]

Tysm!!!!

[@schnee444]

Now I can comfortably animate :3

[@llhiroshillgaming5816]

Is it possible to carry over like the morphs from one part to another. like it's values. I'm doing some model conversion and when trying to for example. Show weapon slider, it affects another material or part of the model

[@helloburger69]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SlimePuppyRR]

is it possible to put shape keys on bones/vertex groups? for example, I have vertex groups and bones of each face muscles and I want to make an "A" shape key, I would just need to move the bones instead of each individual vertex

[@user-kx1je6bq4d]

Thanks

[@lykenth08]

so i did the sin of adding a new vertex after the basis mesh was created - im currently editing an existing premade avatar. is there a way i can create a new basis or update the exishing one? an of course ideally with out having to update all the pre-exisitng shape keys manually. but i will if thats the only option.

[@alexmajorov2506]

best!

[@Garlicbreadsupremacist631]

I literally only needed to watch this for 1:41 to figure everything out, thank you

[@JKTravelsShow]

Up to 1:41 tells how to use it. After 1:41 goes over the quirks, limitations, and other tricks which I found useful. 😁

SuperWiiBros learning about 3d models? 🤨

[@dennis-schneider]

Very helpful... do you have some more usecases for this?

[@TonyTxT]

[@Furiac.]

Im making some weird alien-like living plants for my game and this will definitely be the easiest way to animate, thanks. Im so sick of using armature its so tiring.

[@Damian_h]

u can by pass the shape key modifier restriction with SK keeper addon. once u install it object scroll down > apply choose modifier or apply all modifiers.

[@sargentskylon892]

Nice bro!

[@avocadoslicr17]

yes pretty nice

[@tamilorejoseph4704]

Can u use it a shrink wrap modifier. If so, how is it done

[@aortaplatinum]

Ooooh this could be fucking awesome for squash & stretch in animation! I gotta use this!

[@III-do3dm]

Hello i've been wondering about this for so long, is it possible to create an animated shape key ?
For instance, I press the "&" key on my keyboard and it triggers a spinning flower on my avatar's head.
Is it doable in blender ?

[@alex-qn5xp]

He shows how to near the end of the video.

[@TheAntlionGuard]

mokne deformation

[@TheBrazillianSquirell]

Big brain moment

[@cqcumberfunnymix]

how you deselect the shape in shape key pannel?

[@yueqizhong4052]

How to export the shape key animation into a fbx file?

[@AnotherCoyote]

Help! I think I've slowly been destroying the eye ball animations on my character because I've been using the 'Relative' button checked for Shape keys but the Blender documentation doesn't explain the 'Relative' button in a way I can understand.

[@Kurabiye.Canavari]

How can shape keys data made on one object be transferred to another object?

[@DonaldDrennan]

How can I apply a shape key, so that my base mesh is in the shape of the shape key?

[@aumhren3480]

i also want to know this. i have used an addon to generate character mesh, and during the generation, shape keys were created (by addon). now i want to apply all shape keys, so i can have 'clean' character mesh. thx for sharing, have fun, aum

[@DonaldDrennan]

@@aumhren3480 you want to apply them ALL? Don't they conflict with each other? You can easily delete shape keys. Did you find a solution?

[@s3ntry948]

What about ADD REST POSITION?

[@clawcakes]

my life is changed forever

[@actiongamemaster8082]

This is best for easy lip-sync.

[@midorifox]

and facial expressions as well

[@markzckrbrengsek87]

things went scary when we're about to export it to glb / fbx to sketchfab

[@ytuser4562]

Why can't we extrude/duplicate/make new geometry using shape keys? I tried it and it worked just fine.

[@blade8424]

Too fast for me speaking wise but thank you. :)

[@Lilian040210]

Idk why y'all think Suzanne is the best, seeing deformed skulls and faces is pretty disturbing ngl 😨

[@dertobbe1176]

Imagine you make a chain. It's straight, nothing special. You bend it to be a circle. This is your Base shape. Now move the chain parts to get a New shape with the deform modifier. How to apply the New shape?

[@PangaeaVids]

i found this absolutely useless, you completely fail to explain how to create key frame for shape keys, i dont know what to select from the create keyframe list

[@mackerel987]

To animate a shape key with timings, hover mouse over the value slider on the specific shape key and hit "i" , this adds a keyframe of the shape key on the timeline.

[@frozenfridge3943]

did you even watch the video?
