Ok so most all applications now load and support key morphing keys exported from like example blender. aka Shape Keys

Unreal supports it and unity 3d and 3ds max and blender and most all applications.

I ask that if app game kit is going to be taken more seriously that the team make it a add on.

It is a sad thing to know that a simple thing that most apps and game engines support does not.

So I ask, please make a add on for key morphing.

Hi
Perhaps no add on for that, but you could use memblock to get morphing with...

Now it's a bit late....if you want I'll do an example this weekend.

Ok ...here we are

Morphing is an old technique that moves vertex to match next figure . We could make a function ....something like an add on to morph differents keys of a figure. In the past it was absolutely necesary that both figures had the same quantity of vertex to work ...I've seen somewhere advanced programms that this is not necesary, but in this example I show you the old school technique .
In this example, you can flay with cursor keys to get closer to the object to see how vertes move to match the othe figure .

So I guess it can be done with a exhausting way.

Good job and great example.

I just wish they will implement this and make it easer to apply automatically.

I have like 30 different shape keys in one mesh.

But you proved it possible so now I know they could add support for shape keys.

You will find help here in the forum....just ask your doubts .
Edit : you can animate your object with all the meshes instead of morphing....that is even easier

Oh I'm sorry

I have a fully animated model but the face is animated by shape keys

it is the face like in your demo that I need the keys from blender.

The shape keys work in everything but app game kit.

lol that was fun to look at

Yes, and thank you so much for showing me.

I can not use it for my shape keys but I can use this for other stuff.
