Hi all.
I have a set of characters and they have their heads all set up with blend shapes. But to make the heads slightly different to each other I have used the Soft modification tool. But how do I bake or delete the cluster from history without it reverting back before it was applied?

Thanks

It is by my will alone I set my mind in motion

what about deleting history?

everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Hi there. I have blend shapes connected to the head which will be lost if I delete history.

what I usually do - pose the skeleton. duplicate the geometry - tweak it - delete history + blindnodes - connect as blendshape.

which means you can disconnect/connect your blendshapes as often as you need. it does not make any difference as long as you don´t delete history on your bound geometry. but blendshapes don´t get enveloped to the skeleton, so -
explain to me if I got something wrong?

everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
