Or should they stay on the same page?.<br><br>Should the Tools be documented with the Blue Reference strips, and the Modes they can be used in, <br>or should they just be documented in a clear list with good sentences how to use them?.<br><br>Also, if anyone else has any proposals for this page, or better worded sentences, feel free to join in, I guess.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>= Editing =<br><br>Documentation for editing shape keys.<br><br>== Workflow ==<br><br>These are some common workflows for editing shape keys.<br><br>=== Add and Remove Shape Keys ===<br><br>To add new and remove shape keys, use the [+] and [-] widgets.<br>The first shape key is called the Basis, this is the default shape of the object.<br><br>=== Modify Shape Key ===<br><br>The shape key data, the shape of the the object, is usually modified in the 3D view, by switching to Edit Mode, then changing the shape of the object.<br><br>1: Select an object in Object Mode.<br>1: Select a shape key via the Shape Keys panel.<br>2: Change the 3D view to Edit Mode.<br>3: Modify the shape of the object.<br>4: Change the 3D view back to Object Mode.<br><br>=== Modify Basis ===<br><br>The workflow is the same to modify the Basis shape key, though the results can differ.<br>When the Relative option is checked, this will propogate the changes to all other shape keys.<br>When the Relative option is cleared, this will only modify the Basis shape key.<br><br>== Reference ==<br><br>Reference for the Shape Keys panel when editing shape keys.<br><br>// Todo: Add Shape Keys Editing panel reference picture.<br>// Im not sure whats the best way to reference panels yet.<br>// Todo: Rewrite Tools and Props below.<br><br>Name<br>: Double click or Ctrl+LMB to rename.<br>Mute<br>Add<br>Remove<br>Move<br>Show Active<br>Edit Mode<br>Relative<br>: Used to modify the Basis shape key, or to change the Animation Mode.<br>: See Modify Basis for more info.<br>Specials<br>- Transfer Shape Key<br>- Join as Shapes<br>- Mirror Shape Key<br>- Mirror Shape Key (Topology)<br>- New Shape Key From Mix<br>- Delete All Shapes<br><br>== Tools ==<br><br>// Todo: Rewrite Tools.<br><br>Blend From Shape<br>Shape Propagate<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Koilz </div></body>
