We're thrilled to present the new face of #SHAPES - meet Liv! She will demo all the powerful tools which come with the shape key editor for #Blender. Development is almost wrapped with a ton of features. Time for testing/tutorials. Stay tuned! #b3d #character #rigging #animation

Looks like we eventually got a teen tiny bit of big screen fame with one of our #F1 stock clips appearing in #F1TheMovie. Whoever put it there - well done and thanks a lot! Even though an old one, but it fits nicely!

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 18 A highly valuable tool to help with creating smooth, consistent shape keys, avoiding bad deformation. Similar to Smooth Corrective modifier but with various advantages (next post)! #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip #character #3danimation

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 17 Splitting complex sculpted expressions into any number of shape keys is a crucial step in many production pipelines. The Influence Map feature makes this process easy and reliable! #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip #character #3danimation

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 16 Full shape-key based support for #RBF Nodes. The wish for a high-level editor has been expressed early on, including mirroring of RBF setups. Create, edit, refine. All in one tool! (Result in next post) #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip #character #3danimation

Our #addons for #blender3d are ready for Blender 5. Everything has been updated and polished. And the release of #SHAPES is getting closer! tinyurl.com/59mp4arx #b3d #rigtip #3d

Very happy with #RBF and #SHAPES performance. - 4 Solvers - 96 shapes (about 500 verts each) - Mesh > 17k verts Runs with over 40fps (mind screen recording). If hiding all editors/panels it matches target of 60 fps. Test system: Mac Studio M4 Max. #b3d #Blender3D #rigging

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 15 Edit Propagation for Combos saves time by automatically applying edits from driver shapes to all related combo targets, even split shapes, minimizing the need for manual follow-up fixes. #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip #character #3danimation

#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 14 Combination shapes are a solid and fast solution to fix deformation issues when two or more active shapes interact. SHAPES provides a solid workflow for creating and managing combos. #b3d #Blender3D #rigging #rigtip #character #3danimation

Had a great chat with the Purple Puppet team purplepuppet.com about the upcoming #SHAPES shape-key editor for #blender3d today. Thanks for the great feedback. SHAPES is currently in beta and looking incredible! #b3d #rigging #character #3danimation

#SHAPES for #Blender3d: Quick Tip 13 Easily overlooked: Blend Preview! Shape keys aren’t just about shape, but also about motion. A shape may look fine, but animation can show bad vertex movement. Repeated tweaks/checks are required 'til the deformation is final. #b3d #rigtip #3danimation

🔥📣Just finished: - Full integration of #RBFNodes into SHAPES for #Blender3d - RBFNodes working with constraints. - Mirroring of a complete RBFNodes setup with all shape keys. - RBFNodes working with only two poses. Thanks for sharing! #b3d #blender #rigging #animation

Thanks for the shout out! And it will even get better because the upcoming version supports constrained driver objects and and scene linking. This will be a huge step forward!

I just found out about the RBF Nodes addon by @braverabbit.bsky.social and all I can say is that there are some addons you don't know you need till you get to know of them. This addon is somewhat sorcery.
