Rigging problem- Second controllers follow the mesh when I used blendshapes

#1

Hi,

I rigged the character facial. I use blendshape and second controllers on his face.

Both of them can control the face, but I have a question that*how to let second controllers could follow mesh when I used blendshape.

Second controllers did not follow the mesh that is not easily for animators to do animation.

If someone can help me would be great. *(Video tutorial is perfect.)

Thanks

Hi

Create a rivet where the control is and parent the control to the rivet.

Interesting method, so if you wanted to deform the face with that control, you would have to hide the original face mesh and make a second face that is deformed by the rig AND the rivet but is itself NOT controlling the rivet? Is that how it works or is could it be something easier? *

Note that most (all?) methods of making transforms follow blend shapes require Maya to read the output of the blend shape, eg. to calculate a geometry constraint.* This prevents Maya from using GPU override on the mesh at all.* It also tends to significantly complicate a rig and can slow it down in other ways, like reducing EM parallelism due to having more dependencies between things that could otherwise happen in parallel.* I try to avoid it.
