feature request- Blendshapes

Unless i missed, i don't see anything to control blend shapes?

Correct, there is no dynamic control for blend shapes currently. But they should animate if provided in the fbx. They should update based on the animation? I don't have much experience with blend shapes...

Thanks for the answer Nick. The main idea would be to control the blend shape with OSC

Hi Nick,
Can you confirm that there is still no support for control of blend shapes? I can however see computeBlendShapes in ofxFBXMesh

Hi @towooden,
Apologies for the super delayed response. I don't generally use blend shapes, so I can't even confirm what is in there works. I believe if you play the animation it would control the blend shape? It was adapted from the example code included in the FBX sdk. Looks like Arturo's add-on might let you control the blend shapes with parameters.
