Hello Yao, Of course, i dont know exactly how he does it, but i think you could build something like that with regular blenshapes. The only thing you need to fix is the vtx number mismatch. So you can preprocess the parts of the body, and with a uv or world position relation, and then you can rebuild the blendshape on a full mesh. When adding it to the blendshape node as target, paint the weights only to the affected vertices only. So I think what you need is to build a mapping function between the vtx of the splitted mesh, and the original mesh (anything other than vtx number) and a function to rebuild the shape on the complete geometry.
Sorry i dont answer question by question, if you think this idea could work, i can later elaborate better the answers ;) Cheers!
