# Blendshape Animation Creator

#### Setup

* **Parent Game Object** accepts a game object
  * This will usually be your avatar
  * You can ignore this and just set the **Mesh** slot instead. The Parent Game Object will be set automatically

#### Blendshapes

* **Mesh** is where you’ll put your object containing a skinned mesh with your blendshapes
  * There’s a **+** button at the left of **Mesh**. When it’s hit a **new Mesh** slot will be added
    * There can be as many **Mesh** slots as you want
* If blendshapes are found in the Mesh provided, a **list** with all the blendshapes will be created
  * Set them as active with the **toggle** on the left
  * The animation created will have a keyframe for each active blendshape, and the value set on this list
  * **Toggle All** will enable/disable all of the blendshapes
  * **Reset** will disable all the blendshapes and set their value to 0

#### Animation

* **Add To Existing Animation** makes it so the keyframes are added to the provided animation clip, instead of creating a new one
  * Note that if you already have the animation open in an animation window, you’ll have to select a different animation and then select it back for it to refresh
* **Animation Name** is the name of the Animation Clip created in the selected asset folder
* The **Selected Folder** is where the Animation Clip created will be saved as a file
