I have been searching through here trying to find any posts on using blendshapes and subD's. What is the best way to do use them. Do most of you guys pose your low res cages and then just smooth, and not use Subd's or do you use wrap deformers or do you actually use blendshapes on the finished SubD model.
Ideally what I wanted to do was use the blendshape on a low poly cage and convert to a blendshape when I was done, but you cant do that.
Also using wire deformers for wrinkles, do you guys use this alot and where do YOU place them in your deformation order, again it would be cool to be able to throw them on the low res cage and have them flow up to the high poly for more detail deformation but if you apply to a low poly cage you dont have the detail in there and get more of a general control rather than fine creasing.
sorry for the ramble.
