Blend shapes gone bad...

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

HELP!

Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

Here's the blend shapes Im using so far. Simple mouth positions, mainly just open and closed with a smirk.

But when I move the slider, the neck twists and the back of the mouth protrudes thru the back of the head.

Looks like you might have a extra vertice or edge.... Also check the options of the blendshapes use the default settings...

Ya know, it always seems that right after I post a question, I find the solution. Turns out I still had history on a few of the blend shapes. Problem solved.

Thanks guys.
