Footwear causes issues with points in blend shapes
When exporting character in FBX format with expressions and importing to Houdini that has footwear, the footwear seems to be throwing the points off...if you look at the screenshot below, you see what node I'm using.... if I use the import option in the File menu, everything seems fine, so I don't know what's throwing this off when I use the Character Blend Shape node.

OBJ import works fine, it shows the expression

I don't know how to get expressions to show up in Blender, but the morphs work in there...so I don't know what's happening

Sorry for multiple updates...  but I just figured it out...

If you check "Delete hidden faces" it affects the expressions when importing into Houdini...
When I tested with Blender 5.0, I checked "Delete hidden faces", it had no effect regardless of which export option I chose (blender plugin or straight FBX blender option)

So, it appears with Houdini, you can't delete hidden faces....

So, maybe a Houdini option in the future would be great.

I should clarify, the first issue was CC5 when I first discovered the issue...  and it seems I-Clone has the same issue, so that's why I provided that project

Please let me know when you download the file so I can free up space on Google drive

I am sooo sorry for not responding to this, and thank you for not closing this...  I created an animation from I-Clone and exported to FBX...  

Here is a link to the project file from Google drive along with the FBX exported:

I've also attached the export settings... 

I'm not sure how I can get notifications on this....

Hi frescalus,

Regarding this issue, could you please provide the ccProject file you saved after editing in CC, the FBX you exported from CC, and the export settings you used when exporting the FBX from CC so we can review the problem?
If you're willing to share the file, you can upload it to Google Drive or another cloud storage, and then provide us with the download link.
You can share the link in the comments and set the link to private (if you prefer).

Thank you!
Tina
