Maya tutorial: Animate objects using Blend Shape

[@Chevifier]

Simple to the point. Love it. I just watched a 15 minute tutorial to explain the same thing and he was getting way too complicated with it. Heck he didnt even throw in using it with keyframes.

You are very welcome

I hate animating this way, it's very painful method to work with, but the tutorial is very good and to the point :) Easy to understand, good job!

[@edersouza1881]

[@Monimitaa]

loved it, this is what I wanted for my showreel. Thanks a lot :)

[@MefilioDeAggelo]

is there a way to see the key frames? It makes much easier to handle the details of the animation...

[@MHTutorials3D]

The red vertical lines in the animation slider

Hey Mike, I absolutely love all the videos you put out, nice job man, really. I wonder though, the box where you set the max animation frames to 200 and then later on to 82, what's the point of the box right next to it? It behaves the same but I assume it does something else. Thanks in advance :)

Danijel Milosevic Hi there, The one on the left set the range of the playback ( what you want to play ) The one on the right sets the length of the entire animation. If you want to see everything they have the same value. If you just want to see the beginning the value on the left will be lower than the total number Mike

Hello Mike. At first, thanks for your Tutorials! They are great!. I have a problem. When i put on the blend shape, my cube deforms like yours, but the size is not changing. Any ideas? Hope you can help me. Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Do you have enough subdiv ?

[@gabriels.vieira4561]

cool tutorial, but i guess if u use clusters would be way more easier and faster

[@oklavamusic]

hi, thanks a lot for awesome video. I have question: I made a head and completely rigged it with bones etc. now I will make it sing a song and I will make blend shapes for articulating vowel sounds like "aaa" "eee" "uuu" and I also need jaw movement to open mouth. but my jaw bone is on my main model, not on blend shapes. how can I make it open its mouth and articulate with blend shapes?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Open with joint and combine mouth shape with blend shape

[@oklavamusic]

oh right, then I can control both of them with one control curve movement right?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yep

[@oklavamusic]

thanks a lot! this literally made me happy :) cheers
