View Full Version : Partial Blendshapes?

Hello!

I've got a question that's bothering me. I've got a couple of blend shapes for a beak I'm making for a cartoon penguin. I want to be able to tweak right and left sides of it independantly so I've made 2 blendshapes one for each side, and set them up. The problem is, when I have both weighted to 1 they cancel eachother out. Since the opposite side of each blendshape is in the initial pose, it drags the verts back when I have them both. How do I avoid this??

Thanks in advance!

Trying checking the blend shape deformation order (advanced tab on create blend shape) and making sure that's default.

Might be a setting or two off somewhere because as far as I know Maya's blend shapes are additive and two opposites shouldn't cancel each other out.

Is there any chance you could link the file?

Hmmm, since you are using two blendshape nodes, you might want to change the deformation order to a parallel blend instead using a default.

But just curiosity why do you need to have 2 blendshape nodes?. you can have those two targets in a single blendshape node. Which as jHromika said will be treat as an additive.

With 2 blendshape nodes in default deformation order you will have later node cancelling the effect of previous node.
