Shape Keys

posted to: Retopology: Mouth

I just watched the last chapters of the first part without following along with my personal project.

I'm not planning to render for different facial contexts and have no time for that.

So I jumped in with retopology for my project. Will that affect how I will follow the tutorials?

    I'm going to say no. But in any case if it does affect you, you can always go back or just ask around for help. That said I wouldn't skip, maybe watch them at 2x the speed, but it's better to have it in your head and not move forward with the feeling you're missing something, it's like walking out of balance. Or like skipping Captain Marvel before Endgame, you're going to be like who's this blonde chick that has such amazing power? Better to watch it even though it's not Marvel at its finest.

    I don't believe the shapekeys will effect your project going forward. Aside from facial asymmetry - which is present in all faces - the other shapes during sculpting were mostly informational.

    I do not recommend skipping the "helpful shapekey" lesson because it will make a difference to the process.
