Blender addon for transfering shapekeys from on mesh to another one and binding thier values. There is another free addon that do almost the same with another algorythm (you may check it here https://github.com/fblah/ShapeKeyTransferBlender), but sometimes it does not work properly. So have writen my own addon. It is very fast and simple (around a hundred lines of code).
- Switch to object mode
- Select a target mesh or multiple meshes
- Select source mesh (it should be active, don't click at another object after that)
- Specify which shape key you want to transfer (N-panel > Tools > Shape Key Wrap). 4.1. By default "Transfer By The List" option is disabled (toggle button is released) and all the shape keys of the source object to be transferred. 4.2. If "Transfer By The List" option is activeted (toggle button is pressed) only checked shape keys from the list will be transferred. "Refresh" button refreshes the list of the shape keys in accordance to all the shape keys of the source object. "Check All" refreshes the list and checks all the shape keys. "Uncheck All" refreshes the list and uncheckes all the shapekeys.
- N-panel > Tools > Shape Key Wrap > Click "Transfer Shape Keys". 6 Adjust parameters if something goes wrong (most of the parameters are the parameters of surface deform modifier, the addon is based on it). If "Replace Shapekeys" is on, and target mesh have shape key with the same names as source mesh they will be replaced. Be carefull with the checkbox because the key shape data may be lost irrecoverably. "Bind Values" binds the values of target shape keys ot the values of the source shape keys via drivers.
By default the add-on will bind shape key values with the shape keys. But you can easily do it separately.
- Do steps 1-4 from the preceding paragraph (see above "How to transfer Shape Keys").
- Click "Bind Values" button. The shape key values of the target object will be bound do shape keys of the values of the source shape keys with matching names.
