Blender Tutorial – Shape Key Basics

Bart ·

I just discovered ‘Eve Sculpts‘ on YouTube where 3D artist and illustrator Eve shares some excellent videos on modeling and sculpting techniques. Her videos are very well produced, have a great pace and explain all the necessary steps in her projects.

Hat tip to Andreas for making me aware of this channel.

In this Blender tutorial I show you all the Shape Keys basics you need to know to get started!

What you’ll learn in this tutorial:

  • What are Shape Keys?
  • How to add Shape Keys to an Object
  • Shape Keys & Vertex Groups
  • Sculpt Mode vs Edit Mode for making Shape Keys
  • Animating Shape Keys through the Value Slider

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
