BlendShape Generator

⚫ This feature adds BlendShapes from a specific mesh on the avatar to other meshes as well.

Things to Check Before Setting the BlendShape Mesh#

• BlendShape Generator calculates the mesh deformation based on the current BlendShape values set on the Source Avatar and the BlendShape Mesh.
• Before generating, please make sure the BlendShape values on the Source Avatar and BlendShape Mesh are set to the intended state.
  • For example, if you want to add a Breast_Small BlendShape to an outfit that does not have one, the Breast_Small value on the Source Avatar or BlendShape Mesh should be set to 0.

Generating When the Reference Mesh BlendShape Value Is Not 0#

• Some outfits are made to fit not the avatar’s default body shape, but a shape where a specific BlendShape has already been applied to the reference Mesh.

• In this case, if the reference Mesh has values such as Breast_Small or BigBreast set to something other than 0, and you select that same BlendShape as a generation target,

  the tool treats the current shape as the Weight 100 state for that BlendShape and generates the BlendShape based on it.

  • In addition, a helper BlendShape called [Body Base] is generated so the mesh can return to the Weight 0 shape.
  • In this case, [Body Base] must be set to 100 for the other generated BlendShapes to work correctly.

1. Prepare the Source#

1. Assign the avatar's Animator to the Avatar Animator.
2. Assign a mesh containing the blendshape you want to add to the BlendShape Mesh.
   1. e.g., Head Mesh / Body Mesh

2. Add Mesh#

1. Click the [Mesh List to Add BlendShape] window to open the list.
2. Drag the mesh you want to add into the box labeled [Drag a Skinned Mesh Renderer here to add].
   1. You can add a single Skinned Mesh Renderer by dragging it directly.
   2. Alternatively, you can drag a parent object that has multiple Skinned Mesh Renderers as children to add them all at once.
3. You can remove a mesh from the list by clicking the [X] button or the [Clear All] button.

3. Option Settings (Optional)#

1. You can configure options by clicking the Options button.
   1. If you want the outfit to move tightly against the body , we recommend setting the Min Margin value to 0.
      1. However, setting this value to 0 may cause the mesh to penetrate (become transparent) in some BlendShapes .
2. You can set variables related to the minimum distance from the reference mesh or smoothing.

3. Select the BlendShape to add to another Skinned Mesh Renderer.

   1. You can select all of them using [Select All].
   2. You can deselect all items using [Deselect All].
