ive been searching for a tool like this for years!!! this helped out on a recent project i was gonna transfer shapes between but didnt wanna have to remember all positions of each individual polygon, this saved so much time

[@pwhite1970]

I find your youtube videos brillient. i dont know why people no longer subscribe. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.

[@HeadlampStoplight]

This helps a lot. This will save me the trouble of having to redo some shape keys. Hours saved

I just watched a video of yours from 2 years ago where you explained how the big vfx industries actually work, and at the end you talked a bit about how to get a job there. You said talent and a good portfolio are the most important things. Maybe a video about the fundamentals of a great portfolio for the big industry, and what makes it stand out from others, and the generalist vs specialist thing, etc... Also, been watching you for a while now and love all your videos!

[@BlenderBob]

It’s very simple. Is the work you are presenting perfect? If not, if you can make it better, then do it. Would you hire yourself with such a portfolio? Could your stuff be on a TV show or a feature film?

Why doesn't bleeder have this function more openly available?

[@Holaaparty]

This is very helpful!! thank s lot man, Sub!!!

[@wingflanagan]

On subscribers: you need to get some exposure on other popular Blender channels. I suggest a collab. After all, I didn't even know your channel existed until Donut Boy mentioned it in his newsletter. (I call Blender Guru 'Donut Boy' out of nothing but respect for his excellent donut-based Belnder tutorials, which he updates with every new version - and I can never remember his real name).

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

Yes, 'Donut Boy' is his real name but his online persona is as Andrew Price. It's just a coincidence that he makes donut videos.🙃

Finally Free addon (most of addons about this require payment in dollars and i am russian who have only rubles)

[@rmjrmj4]

Thanks for sticking around, people come and go but the things you make and show will change people's lives forever. Keep it up my dude!! I love the way you think. Also, what version does you Add-on work with? Blender 3.4.6 is the one I'm hoping to use it with.

[@BlenderBob]

Should work on all versions. Try it and tell me if it doesn’t

[@rmjrmj4]

@@BlenderBob Will do. But first I need to finish the rest of the Sliders in another program, than I'll test it out by pushing it onto the original model with all the back loaded textures. [Don't worry, I'm talking about the model that has the bass materials and no Shape Keys, to put it simply it'd be the one I want the Shape Keys on].

[@Alphawolfinify]

Maybe it's just the weird you tube algorithm hiding your channel 😮 subscribed keep on the great work 🎉

[@joemiciak9948]

thanks for this. I was able to copy the shape keys from one object to another. I'm copying mouth animation though -- is there a way to copy the shape key values, or shape key keyframes from one object to the other?

[@BlenderBob]

Yeah, you go to the dopesheet, in shape key editor, and assign the animation

[@violettracey]

Thank you so much for this! One problem I am running into is when I copy the shape keys from one object to another, the second object moves location to the same place as the first object. Do you know of a way I can fix this? Edit: Nevermind I just figured it out! I needed to set the origins of the objects to their geometry first.

[@GaryParris]

still here from the early days ;O)

[@GeorgeOu]

I'm going to try this, but I'm wondering if this will also copy the drivers. My problem is that I want to change the resting pose, but I can't do that until I get rid of the shape keys with drivers. I can't just apply them permanently and lose them. So I want to duplicate a compelex model, delete the keys, apply the armature duplicate, then set the new resting pose. Then pull the old shape keys back.

[@BlenderBob]

You know you can apply any shape key as the base one?

[@GeorgeOu]

@@BlenderBob I know how to apply and clear all the shape keys. The problem is that they're driven and can't be applied to most of the poses. Elbows for example would stick out a lot with a sharp corner.

[@GeorgeOu]

@@BlenderBob It wouldn't work on blender 4.1.1 for my particular model. Error message about 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'key_blocks'.

[@DesignerNetanel]

Never left buddy 😅

[@Fudgeballs88]

This helped me a lot thank you for making this!:), As a token of my thanks I have subscribed, one thing though is that for some items when I copy the shape keys the item goes crazy

[@sayakiart]

doesnt seem to work correctly for me. Im trying to transfer shapekeys from a human body to some underwear. I did the thing with Basis & Original shapekey (without the original the underwear moves to the fingers like some sort of shrinkwrap mod) None of the shapekeys transfer over, only the original one works and sends the underwear back to its supposed position.

[@BlenderBob]

You can only transfer to another model that has the exact same topology. So from human to underwear that won’t work

[@sayakiart]

@@BlenderBobAh i see nevermind then. I just remembered that i already had a shapekey transfer add on that can do that, its from Royal Skies, also here on youtube.

[@kirwish]

Really great script, but it somehow doesn't work for me. It just move target head in position of source head and change base shape target to source. It's abolutely same as just duplicate source head, but I just want to copy facial expression between heads with different shapes, but same topology. What I do wrong? Look like for me only work: "Object data property" - "Shape keys"(name of panel) - Tranfer shape key (under "arrow down" button). But it only copy one shape key in one time. Your tool looking amazing, but somehow it just move target to source position and did absolutely same shape. I tried create "Basis" shape for target face and after that copy shapekeys... but when I check shapekeys, all these shapekeys move head to source head position. Oh... sorry for my English, hope someone found soulution for that issue. I tried on Blender 4.0.2

[@BlenderBob]

Strange. You are the first one reporting this. Try exporting both models as OBJ to clean up anything that could affect it

[@namcoanyc7777]

i installed your add on but how do i see it in use?

[@user-kt4kh8he7e]

Thank you sir can we copy face 51 face shape key from one model to another

[@BlenderBob]

If they have the exact same topology only. But if you have a male and a female character it’s not going to create the facial key shapes from one model to another. It will morph the male to female or the opposite

[@user-lf7cf2iq3v]

ㄱㅅ (thanks)

[@Chrysler133]

i can't figure out how to do it on 2.93

[@BlenderBob]

Maybe it’s missing some features

[@raegatan2110]

mesh scrambled after copying shape key

[@BlenderBob]

That’s because the I order of the polygons is not the same. You can only do this is the second topology is the same as the first one.

[@foxschoolforsquirls7886]

Can it copy from one .blend to another?

[@BlenderBob]

Nop
