Blend shape transformation

[kos-bos]

hello,
When using blendshapes, I encounter the base shape sliding to the location of the target. When creating I have the local and check topology "on." I freeze transformations before I set the blendshape, but it still slides over. I checked the list of operations and the blendshape is at the top of the list.

thanks,

Kos

Don't freeze transformations on your duplicate blend targets, it needs these to know that they are offset from your master object.

What if you have two pieces of geometry that were built from different patches, but with the same parameterization? The geometry matches up and the blend shape works fine, but it just translates when you move the slider bar and I want it to stay in place.

thanks for your reply,

is your geometry bound to a skeleton?
if so i think you have to detach, create blendshapes and reattach

You can change the order of your deformers without having to unattatch and reattatch, simply right click on your object, bring up entire list on inputs and re-order.

if it is still sliding out of poition, place your target where you want your object to stay whenit is fully blended (1), then freeze transforms, then you can move it wherever you like, just don't freeze them again. Then apply your blends. good luck.

Might be silly but...did you make sure that you have on "Local" instead of "World" in the Create Blendshape option box?
