(Urgent) Blendshapes not exporting with MPFB v2.0 Character

[ermelious]

I've followed the official makehuman youtube tutorial to "Bake Blendshapes" as well. Unity still does not detect any blendshapes in the SkinnedMeshRenderer.
Please advice, Thanks.

This is theoretical as I don't have a windows machine available atm. But: seemingly the default in the blender fbx export is to apply all modifiers. This would then (again theoretically) also apply all shape keys.

Maybe you can test disabling the apply modifiers checkbox? It might work, but no promise.

That solved the issue and worked like a charm! Thank you. The blendshapes are now showing in Unity in the SkinnedMeshRenderer.

Actually hold up, I did not monitor the changes clearly. While blendshapes shows up, the model is now screwed up as seen here:


Additionally I'm having an issue where if I use the detailed/default rig with toes, when I import to mixamo, the fingers appear to be animated wrongly like some sort of alien. Any advice on this? I'd like to the default rig with toes instead of the one for GameEngine because the GameEngine one does not have the face bones.

I don't see any obvious way through which you can only apply some of the stuff in the FBX import.

My best suggestion is to not have any modifiers on the character. For the mask modifier hiding the helper mesh you can apply that by going to operations -> basemesh -> delete helpers. You'll have to experiment a bit though, it's possible this might have a consequence for the blend shapes.

The mixamo import does not work particularly well with the default skeleton. Thus the specific mixamo rig. There is no mixamo version with facial bones as of yet, only a feature request in the issue list.

This works perfectly
