Once you have your blend shapes set up in your 3D modeling application (such as Autodesk® Maya®):
0
means the blend shape has no influence.100
means the blend shape has full influence.To create a blend animation:
To preview your animation, click Play in the Editor window or the Animation window.
You can also set the blend weights through scripting using functions like GetBlendShapeWeight and SetBlendShapeWeight.
To check how many blend shapes a MeshThe main graphics primitive of Unity. Meshes make up a large part of your 3D worlds. Unity supports triangulated or Quadrangulated polygon meshes. Nurbs, Nurms, Subdiv surfaces must be converted to polygons. More info
See in Glossary has, use the blendShapeCount variable.
This code example demonstrates how to blend a default shape into two other blend shapes over time when attached to a GameObjectThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info
See in Glossary with three or more blend shapes:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class BlendShapeExample : MonoBehaviour
{
int blendShapeCount;
SkinnedMeshRenderer skinnedMeshRenderer;
Mesh skinnedMesh;
float blendOne = 0f;
float blendTwo = 0f;
float blendSpeed = 1f;
bool blendOneFinished = false;
void Awake ()
{
skinnedMeshRenderer = GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer> ();
skinnedMesh = GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer> ().sharedMesh;
}
void Start ()
{
blendShapeCount = skinnedMesh.blendShapeCount;
}
void Update ()
{
if (blendShapeCount > 2) {
if (blendOne < 100f) {
skinnedMeshRenderer.SetBlendShapeWeight (0, blendOne);
blendOne += blendSpeed;
} else {
blendOneFinished = true;
}
if (blendOneFinished == true && blendTwo < 100f) {
skinnedMeshRenderer.SetBlendShapeWeight (1, blendTwo);
blendTwo += blendSpeed;
}
}
