In-between blendshape textures

[jimtheartist]

hello,

i am animating the eyelids of a character with in-between blendshapes. there is one displacement map per blendshape.
i am looking for a way to blend the maps accordingly to the blendshape animation. so 4 maps should be blended in series - between zero and one, that i can link it to the blendshape anim. does anyone know how to go about this? i know that using bones is an option, but this will give me other problems.

thanks, phil

use a ramp node, then connect the textures to the color swatches and drive v cord.

hey, thanks for the reply. sounds interresting, just how would that work? lets say i have 4 fileins connected to 4 color swatches in a ramp, which would give me 4 files blended between 0 - 1 uv space. then moving the texture up/down, give me what exactly? sorry, i just dont get it... thanks, phil

Well easiest way to see what happens is to stage a test!
