Hi ,

i am a MAYA user and currently i doing a character , so the problem is like this....

i have my body and head separate first , and after that i finish the blend shape for my head and i merge to the body . It will show the HISTORY of the blend shape and the merge of body and head.

i like to delete the history of merge body and head but not the blend shape .

so any way to do that or better way to get only blend shape history in the channel box/layer editor after merge the head and body together??

or maybe the way i did is wrong....

please give me some comment , thanks

Blend shapes need to work on objects with the exact same topology. So if you delete the history for the merged haed and body, the head blend shapes will be trying to operate on a very different object.

You can just live with the merge-history. A different way round this is to use Wrap deformers (Help > Character Setup > Wrap Deformers). These will let you use a head object, with all the blend shapes, to deform the complete mesh.
