Hi Nick Thats a great video. Does exactly what we need to do on blendshapes ;) -- Angus Davidson ICT Project Leader - Digital Arts University of the Witwatersrand On 23 February 2015 at 11:48:21 AM, Nicolas Esposito (3dv...@gmail.com<mailto:3dv...@gmail.com>) wrote: Regarding the "change geometry" issue this works nicely if you need to update the blend shapes<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFPAIU8hwQ4> 2015-02-23 10:44 GMT+01:00 Cesar Saez <cesa...@gmail.com<mailto:cesa...@gmail.com>>: Have you tried "tweak mode" on the move tool preferences? it's not as complete as Softimage tweak tool but helps (you can access the move marking menu pressing w + LMB). Another useful "trick" is use shift+MMB to get the axis depending on the stroke (like softimage MMB).

When we used to teach maya the thing that students battled the most with was blendshapes. Mostly because they would get the process right 9 out of 10 times, but just trying to trouble shoot that 1/10 caused so many issues. Also students trying to change geometry after blend shapes caused so many issues. If there was some nice weight map system like they use in Modo that would be awesome. Something easy to understand that didn’t require multiple hidden heads would be a start ;) On that any one have a decent replacement for the tweak tool. This having to select and move instead of doing it in one motion will drive me to kill something.
