Blend shapes (5)

[perseus2]

I've used blendshapes many times and have always been able to solve this one, but something is wrong here and I can't figure it out.

The problem is that regardless of whether I set the "origin" option to "Local" or "World", the blendshape node incorporates the location information into the blend - in other words, the shape moves to the original position of the target.

I always understood that setting the origin option to "local" overcame that, but not this time.

FYI - both surfaces are extrudes - I created one, then duplicated the generation and path curves, altered them and re-extruded. Both surfaces have been altered on a component level after the extrusion and after history was deleted. The surfaces have identical topologies, surface direction, etc.

I also tried re-ordering the deformers, but there aren't really any to reorder - just the blendshape and the tweak.

Maybe check the pivot points of your target objects. If it is at the origin as well, that is your problem. Reposition your pivot point in the target and it should fix your problem.

This is all assuming Ive understood your problem correctly.

You could always try reseting and/or freezing the transformations before you apply the bland shapes.

Yes you could, but be SURE to make sure all of your objects are in the same position or you will have the same probelms you are havinjg now.
