Shapekey fix doesn't work for me

posted to: Detailing the Eyes

Hello! I just wanted to let you know, that your fix for the shapekey bug doesn't work for me. In the video you copy the head, remove the multires from the original head and add a new one. Then you activate the shapekey on the copied head and the problem already seems to be fixed, if you watch the head on the left closely, whereas when I do it, it still has the bug on that copied head. So reshaping the original head obviously doesn't work, since it will just copy over the bug. It's not the end of the world for me, I'll just continue working without shapekeys, but I wanted to let you know @theluthier . Maybe I did something wrong, I'm using Blender 1.93 for this course.


P.S.: I still love this course regardless

    I'm sorry to hear about this fix not working out for you. If you post a download link to your .blend file I'll be happy to take a closer look. The best way to do this is by uploading your file to Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega, or equivalent file hosting service then copy + pasting the share link here.

    Unfortunately I don't have a version of my file WITH the shapekey anymore, as I was so eager to stamp more pores, so I deleted the shapekey, as I didn't need it anymore/couldn't fix the bug. I know this doesn't help anyone that might also encounter this problem, since you can't check what went wrong, but maybe the next person (if it happens again) will be smarter and save a version WITH the shapekey. But thanks anyway!

    No worries bexxarts! Except the implication that you're maybe not saving incrementally. If you're not...you're walking a fine line my friend; into the *danger zone* 😬

    I like living close to the edge, @theluthier ! No that's a lie, I definitely need to work on my organizational skills.
