You can apply a modifier with shape keys if you get the Blender Addon Skeeper

Thank you, straight to the point, no fluff, no specially prepared object to catch up with, simple and easy to understand. Great job!

Is it possible to use the shape keys even if the body has a armature. Like say I wanna use the shape keys for a cartoon rabbit and I also developed a Armature for the body of the rabbit, will the shape keys still work?

Thank you for this tutorial...

Short and to the point and full of great info, thanks

You get an A+, straight to the point with a nice lil demo . Yea no scrubbing through video today!

Thank you, very concise and quick video!

Known OF shape keys for ages. But now is when I finally get around to learning how to make them. Very simple and to-the-point tutorial. Just what I wanted.

Ooooh this could be fucking awesome for squash & stretch in animation! I gotta use this!

Im making some weird alien-like living plants for my game and this will definitely be the easiest way to animate, thanks. Im so sick of using armature its so tiring.

Thank you a lot! Short and clear, best combination

Big brain moment

Very nice, Short, Informative and Usefull Tutorial! Thanks a lot. Learned a lot in that 5 Minutes.

Too fast for me speaking wise but thank you. :)

Thank you so much, this was superrrr easy and to grasp!

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial and happy blending with Blender 3d

Hello i've been wondering about this for so long, is it possible to create an animated shape key ? For instance, I press the "&" key on my keyboard and it triggers a spinning flower on my avatar's head. Is it doable in blender ?

Thanks for this, great and straightforward explanation!

things went scary when we're about to export it to glb / fbx to sketchfab

Idk why y'all think Suzanne is the best, seeing deformed skulls and faces is pretty disturbing ngl 😨

It's always really nice to find a tutorial that's easy to follow and straight to the point, thanks!

You made this so easy. Many Thank

Very easy to understand. Well explained. You got yourself a new subscriber mate!

Now I can comfortably animate :3

How can I apply a shape key, so that my base mesh is in the shape of the shape key?

Right to the point + simple animation. Thanks!

Thank you so much. This will save a ton of time. OMG!

Good tutorial, GOOD! +rep

This is best for easy lip-sync.

my life is changed forever

oh so that's how it works! thanks man!

Interesting overview. thank you.

Why can't we extrude/duplicate/make new geometry using shape keys? I tried it and it worked just fine.

is it possible to put shape keys on bones/vertex groups? for example, I have vertex groups and bones of each face muscles and I want to make an "A" shape key, I would just need to move the bones instead of each individual vertex

Well said, short and simple. Much appreciate it

very nice

Thanks man, that helps a lot

So, what do you do when you click mirror shape key and it straight-up refuses to do it?

Thank you!

really nice tutorial, thank you!

best!

Imagine you make a chain. It's straight, nothing special. You bend it to be a circle. This is your Base shape. Now move the chain parts to get a New shape with the deform modifier. How to apply the New shape?

u can by pass the shape key modifier restriction with SK keeper addon. once u install it object scroll down > apply choose modifier or apply all modifiers.

Help! I think I've slowly been destroying the eye ball animations on my character because I've been using the 'Relative' button checked for Shape keys but the Blender documentation doesn't explain the 'Relative' button in a way I can understand.

Thanks for tutorial :D

thank you

so i did the sin of adding a new vertex after the basis mesh was created - im currently editing an existing premade avatar. is there a way i can create a new basis or update the exishing one? an of course ideally with out having to update all the pre-exisitng shape keys manually. but i will if thats the only option.

❤❤❤❤

yes thankyou vry much, i cheked like 5 tuto before that one to understand.

How can shape keys data made on one object be transferred to another object?

Very helpful... do you have some more usecases for this?

Is it possible to carry over like the morphs from one part to another. like it's values. I'm doing some model conversion and when trying to for example. Show weapon slider, it affects another material or part of the model

Thanks dude for this 👍amazing tutorial
