View Full Version : Blend Shapes - Input order mess

I have just done my blend shapes in Maya 2008, just to the head, and now when I put the Blend shape node inbetween the skin_cluster and Tweak node (so that i have skin 1st, blend 2nd, tweak 3rd) the whole body resumes the blend shape and the whole rig moves. I'm assuming I have moved a few controls and bones here and there.

Is there a way to get around this?

Cheers

Thanks exhibitx very useful, that's works perfectly but it looks like I'm going to have to reskin all over again to get the blend shapes right :(

you dont have to re-skin it, just delete the blendshape node and redo the blendshapes

But I think the problem is that the joints/controls are not in bind_pose as I detach the skin and it goes back to the bind_pose even though none of the controls are moved, but I think the joints are, the bind poses seem to make the main mesh go back to it's bind pose
