Great stuff. Thank you. I was looking into the kinefx blendshape setup which seems much more technical and complicated. Is there a way to use a custom attribute for applying the deformations in that setup like we do here?

Thanks for your help!

Some great tips in here. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. one question. how are you selecting inside the boundary edge when selecting points?

Awesome tutorial as usual, thanks a lot. I hope we get a GPU accelerated version in the next release.

This was very helpful! Thank you. Do you have any tips or tutorials where I can learn how to properly use blend shapes with my rigs? Right my blend shapes are upstream from the rigging so everything has to cook whenever I change them - tetembed especially takes time. I feel like my workflow is wrong but not sure the best approach

Blend shapes should be applied after the geometry capture and before the bone/joint deform. This way the capture doesn't have to be recalculated.
