Blend Shapes and Deformers Maya

Maya

Blend shapes and deformers

Main use for blendshapes: Facial expressions

Basically if your not happy with the way something looks you can use the blend shape to correct it

Blend shapes – allow you to blend between shapes

Example:

Create 4 cubes, all same size

Leave master as it is, transform the other 3 cubes

Select all 4 cubes, the last one being the original, create deformers – blend shape  - options – blend shape node – name it!!!

open master cube, inputs, blendshape (name) – and will be able to blend the master cube

blend shapes need to go underneath binding and controller, can check this (inputs – all inputs)

and then apply controllers and set driven keys
