Blendshape target: edit does not save sculpted work

A00834465 — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 00:38:28 GMT

Hey!
I'm making some blendhsapes, I sculpt as usual with the edit mode ON, but when I turn OFF the edit mode on the shape editor, the sculpt is not saved.

Also, when I try to use the slider it immediately bounces back to the original shape of the mesh, not saving the sculpting.

Here is what I did:

1. Select geometry

2. In shape editor, add target as tangent space

3. Sculpt with EDIT on

4. Turn off EDIT (here's when it bounces back to the original shape)

Below a demo of my workflow and how it doesn't seem to work (I've done this for other blendshapes in the same character, I don't know why it stopped working). Any help is appreciated!

I found the problem:

As I was sculpting, I had slided OFF the weigth of the folder, (L_Leg and TrajeFK_corrective_bls were set to 0) thus why it was not showing any changes, as it wasn't changing anything really.

All I had to do was slide the weigth of the folders all to the right and problem solved 🙂
