Some Blendshapes Not Working

Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom head avatar and I'm using the Face Expressions template.

I can't seem to get the camera to detect certain facial expressions both with the example model and my own. I've tried a couple different cameras with no luck.

For example, when I frown, the debug ui gives me a value of 0 for MouthFrownLeft and a very low value for MouthFrownRight. It seems like something is preventing these blendshapes from being activated. Turning the scale up to do has no difference either. Many of the other blendshapes work fine.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Max,

    The BlendShapes Component is automatically added by Lens Studio to imported 3D models that have Blend Shape data. If your exported FBX has Blend Shape data, you should see it after importing to Lens Studio. You can review our software-specific export guides for more information on how to include Blend Shape data in your model. 

    Cheers,

    Bakari Mustafa
