If new vertices will just be added/removed in the right order from all shapekeys, then there should be no issue. (Same location: I would expect it this way)
But thinking about the implementation: Could it be, that the order of the indices's can go wild? If the vertices get not synchronously added or removed, then there could be a problem. I just wanted to be sure if the key-asignments don't get confussed. Otherwise i would need to write a script that exports the shapekeys as a file and restores them after the changes. (using vertex locations in Basis-shapekey as reference) PS: Still didn't find the corresponding code to look at. (adding/removing a vertex while using shapekeys) ;-) Greetings Tobias Oelgarte Am 11.02.2011 14:44, schrieb Brecht Van Lommel: > Hi, > > I don't know any of current bugs with shape keys when adding/removing > vertexes.
