I STRONGLY look forward to the Vbridger mouth with blend shapes. I've followed a guide on doing it but you are fantastic at making people actually understand what is happening, rather than just saying "do this".

[GoomiCh]

This is AWESOME, you're great at this! I watched several blendshape tutorials and none of them ever answered the question to why to use them. It completely clicked for me when you showed 1:22.

[catdeersnooz]

Thank goodness!! I've always struggled to understand blendshapes and your tutorials are always so helpful!

[sharksgrr]

tysm i got so confused because i'd previously learned blender and i couldnt find a clear explanation as to what live2d meant by the term

[KamichiKaya]

This is legit the clearest explaination how blendshapes work. Thank you so much!

[maousoro]

Oh my thank you! I was just thinking about these. Ive never understood the way people explained but you and the showcase make it seem so simple!

[PillowHyena]

Thank you very, very much for this very explanative and simple to understand tutorial. You're a very eloquent teacher!

[hunibe]

Thank you so much! This is the most clear tutorial I've found about Blendshapes. I couldn't figure out what they even DID, and you explained it so precise! Definitely recommending you when anyone asks for live2D tutorials! 💗

[MurakamiAngel]

I had no clue what blendshapes were till now, i was just using a dif parameter w/o the blendshape on which somewhat works

[cvkpond]

Me, discovering Blend Shape only after almost finish the model 💀

[MilanaArtShop]

Looking forward to see blendshapes for mouth 😀

[kippclover]

Happy to see you back!!
I was just looking in to learning about blendshapes. I hear that one drawback is that they're unable to be used in the physics menu? I haven't played with them myself much.

[MUCKADUC]

Damn, I came here too early, I'm trying to look for the Vbridger Mouth guide LOL

[ninisdesk]

So would the best way to make your life easier when doing blend shapes on a work in progress rig be finish the basic rig and come back in for the blendshapes? Because I’ve been working on a personal model for around 6 months now and wanna try this out on it
