Shoutouts to Maurizio Memoli for creating this incredible Add-On for free! I literally have no complaints, but if I could make a recommendation for improvement, when transferring shape keys, it would save LOTS of time if it also transferred the drivers that control the keys. Regardless, great job man -
ALSO, there's a faster method, but it only works between two objects that have the same number of vertices.
If that's your situation, do it this way:
(On the new body) add the basis shape key > click the original body > pick the key you want to transfer >
shift click the new body > in your shape keys, click the down arrow > transfer shape key, you're done -

Needed this add-on 5 years ago but glad it's here now

When I start thinking "hey, would be cool to also being able to do that", you always post the video about how to do it.

[Psikais]

OMG! This addon is doing magic :) Thanks you sir for this info!

[giyutomioka]

I really enjoy your videos but now I am stuck with a bad habit of saying "Not a problem" whenever someone asks me for help.😶

As always, your awesome!Your teachings literally saving time and time is priceless!!! Stay blessed!!!

[astroquasar]

I tried two other transferers and they'd break my blendshapes, but this one works PERFECTLY! Thank you so much

I found this plugin about a month ago. changed my life.

"You'll have to copy and paste the drivers"
Yeah, I wish I could automate THAT!

[eojinkim]

Bruuuh I wasted so much time trying to figure it out and this addon solved everything for me in seconds. Thanks for the share man appreciate it!

[shayanshabani]

it's not working for me, when i want to choose the source the body is not there !

[Spamkromite]

Yes, it worked. It made the model to get scrunched into a garbled ball of polygons, even though both models are identical. Guess it doesn't work on Blender 3.0* This is the second tool I was researching to transfer shakekeys, the first being fblah and p2or addon, which transferred the shapekeys but upon using any of them, scaled the model down into a 1 pixel size. I can't still find the solution to this...

Dear royal skies - it is not working for me. i am transferring the shape keys from a low res mesh to a very high res mesh. I see the shape keys and drivers translated to the high res mesh, but when i move the values, nothing happens as it should. I am using blender 2.90.1. what else can i try? even if it's not a one click of a button...thanks so much for this video :)

0:08 "and if you're poor like me hit zero."
This is *the* most relatable things I have ever heard.

Holy S*** it works like a charm. Thank you again dude.
I had to sacrifice my shape keys with facial expressions to apply some modifiers to a character, I was afraid because I needed to transfer those shape keys from an object that was just the head, didn't knew if it was going to work. Anyways, it worked perfectly, I'm crying <3

Love it when someone 1000%'s everyone elses BS in 30 seconds, even made a quick LoL in the mid.

[Ian_Paneque]

You're my religion. Best tutorials ever!

[mMemoli]

Thanks for the shout out ;). You should also try transferring sampling UVs to transfer objects with different topologies. It is actually pretty good to retopologize the flat patterns in Marvelous designer and put them back into the sim state.

[carlonchoov]

"Not a problem" good job, bro. But, the gestures of my character's face do not move

[primus]

didn't really work for me...it transferred it but when i use it the mesh doesn't move
