Cool Kursad! Yes, in the procedure I'm thinking of, the subdivision level / vertex count of the subsurf modifier that is before MTM should be fixed. Then you could apply a second subsurf modifier after MTM.
Well, anyway I think you should concentrate on getting the pose space working first!! :D Cheers! > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 00:24:33 -0600 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Bf-committers] New Modifier : Morph Target > > Hi Kursad and others, MTM does sound great and I have often wanted > morphing capabilities in the modifier stack, however what about moving > the shapekey system into the modifier stack instead and expanding it > to support linking to other mesh datablocks?
