Inputs

Blendshape Rig

BlendRig Blendshape Rig for welding blendshapes.

Parameters

First Merge Suffix:

first symmetry suffix.

Second Merge Suffix:

second symmetry suffix corresponding to the first symmetry suffix.

After merging, all new control values become zero.

Include Expressions:

whitelist of expression names to weld, separated by comma. Example: JawOpen, Funnel, Blink.

Exclude Expressions:

blacklist of expression names, separated by comma. Excluded expressions are unchanged.

Weld Control Values Type:
Mean

Set the control values as mean between welded control values.

Min

Set the control values as maximum between welded control values.

Max

Set the control values as maximum between welded control values.

Zero

Set the control values to 0.

Note

Blacklist overrides whitelist. If each list contains one expression name, this expression will not be welded. If the expression name is not on any of the lists, this expression will be excluded.

Tip

You can use special characters to simplify whitelist and blacklist. ? equals to one arbitrary character. For example Jaw_?_Left selects Jaw_L_Left and Jaw_R_Left heroshapes. * equals to any number of arbitrary characters. For example Jaw* selects each heroshape, starting with Jaw: JawOpenExtreme, Jaw_R_Left, JawOpen, Jaw_Right_L; * list value selects all heroshapes.

Visual Editor

The visual editor displays a list of output Blendshape Rig controls. In the visual editor, special controls are highlighted:

  • Control names with welded expressions are white.

  • Control names with excluded expressions are gray.
