Add option for transfer shape keys (if you can)

Issue #570 closed

We may often need to transfer shape keys (in daz we use auto transfer system) for daz figures, at same time, I may hope if you can offer delta slider for transfered shape keys. which can adjust each mesh shape keys individually.

I often feel if there is way, attach raw props and ui slider for transfered shape keys (Jcm or some detail PBM ) even though they are transfered and driven by same character rig props.

I can add new delta raw prop (off set) for those transfered shape keys, and change driver expression. but it not generate any UI slider.

when transfer shape keys, same rig fin props (morphA fin) will drive, clothing A, clothing B, clothing C, .morphA shape keys.

Then if add on will generate mesh raw props, only for transfer shape keys.

clothing A morph 1 shape keys, driver expressions will change as “morph1(fin) + clothing_morph1(raw)”

Of course I know, there is user who do not need any off set for those transfered shape keys. so it may better to offer as option.

(when I hope to adjust those shape keys, I select each mesh object >> add on show raw prop of the shape keys in UI,

even though it will be gathered as one category, (eg “transfered shapes”) , it not matter. at least I can direct manipulate them individually, (it may often use to easy adjust current clothing shape too, but they are still be driven = can keep good shape, with change character shape (jcm or PBM) + still manually tweak those effect with use same shape key data.

Real case, I often hope it,

  1. I adjust some detail breast shape of character.
  2. I transfer them for all clothing, so each clothing auto deform too.
  3. Basically it should work, but it may show small poke through for some clothing
  4. I hope to adjust it… of course I can add new shape keys, but basically I only need to adjust transfered shape keys effect

At current I make new props, for clothing object, and modify, shape keys driver expresison for the mesh.. then change prop values. ..

so If add on offer option, generate off set slider (aka raw slider) when transfer shape keys. I can adjust each mesh shape with use them…

(I do not means to force add on mimic same way as daz, it is way to adjust each shape keys which driven by same props, but still offer user off set in blender add on UI)

    After consider to manage many assets easy, I withdraw this request.

    (maybe it make things more compex when I need to retarget shape keys etc.. though if it will be added no problem for me, but many adjuster may things make more complex, so I may customize it only when I need it for some specific morph and assets.
