#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 18

A highly valuable tool to help with creating smooth, consistent shape keys, avoiding bad deformation. Similar to Smooth Corrective modifier but with various advantages:
- per shape adjustments
- no additional modifier required
- only edited vertices are affected
- reduced loss of volume
- respects changes in local scale
- fully integrated workflow

Splitting complex sculpted expressions into any number of shape keys is a crucial step in many production pipelines. The Influence Map feature makes this process easy and reliable!

The new version of #RBF Nodes supports constraints or otherwise driven objects and bones, works with linked scenes, and provides better interpolation options. But because of a different data structure older setups are not compatible.

Direct comparison between skin only and four RBF controlled shape-keys. Not meant to be a perfect result but merely how far one can get with four shapes. Of course the actual motion would involve more bones.

Full shape-key based support for #RBF Nodes. The wish for a high-level editor has been expressed early on, including mirroring of RBF setups. Create, edit, refine. All in one tool! (Result in next post)

Edit Propagation for Combos saves time by automatically applying edits from driver shapes to all related combo targets, even split shapes, minimizing the need for manual follow-up fixes.

Combination shapes are a solid and fast solution to fix deformation issues when two or more active shapes interact. SHAPES provides a solid workflow for creating and managing combos.

Easily overlooked: Blend Preview! Shape keys aren’t just about shape, but also about motion. A shape may look fine, but animation can show bad vertex movement. Repeated tweaks/checks are required 'til the deformation is final.

Easily remove partial shape key data to clean up shapes or remove unwanted influences. Makes use of selecting vertices which are affected by the shape key.
