Issue 12462
using the blender pipeline addon / plugin, shapekeys (expressions) are not re-imported, are ignored.
See the issue here in the blender pipeline GitHub, confirmed by the creator victor soupday:
https://github.com/soupday/CCiC-Blender-Pipeline-Plugin/issues/103#issuecomment-3742050841

He wants to check with reallusion why is this happening now in CC5, shapekeys are ignored / bypassed, and not re-imported, so we can't tweak them in blender anymore.

Other issues is that replacing mesh (with pipeline too, and in Mesh > replace mesh in CC5) always shifts ever so slightly the body mesh on replace in CC5, and that's even when having the exact same bind pose, as when not having made sure current pose in both apps is the real bind pose (Delete > trash icon in CC5) repalcing mesh explodes everything.

Thanks !

Hi, sorry for the delay, I'm starting a new project with characters only now.

I can try to record a video a bit later, but here are my steps in case that's enouh for you to reproduce:

Let me know, you cancomment on the doc too.

Thanks.

Hi Loïc,

Hope you are doing well.

Thank you again for sharing the Google Doc with your workflow steps previously. We really appreciate the details you provided.

We are just following up to see if you might have had a chance to record a video of the process? While the written steps are a great starting point, seeing a screen recording of your exact operations between CC5 and Blender would significantly help our team accurately reproduce and investigate the specific issue you are encountering.

Whenever you have a moment to capture that, please let us know or simply drop the link here.

Thank you for your time and continued patience!

Best regards,
Kayla

Hi animaliok, 

just checking in to see if you've had a chance to capture that screen recording? 

We're eager to investigate this CC5 Blender Pipeline issue further, and seeing your specific workflow would be a huge help for our team to replicate it. 

Thank you

Hi animaliok ,

Thank you so much for the detailed report and for providing the link to the GitHub issue. We really appreciate you bringing these specific behaviors in CC5 and the Blender Pipeline to our attention.

Regarding both the shapekeys being ignored and the mesh shifting/exploding during the "Replace Mesh" process, would it be possible for you to share a screen recording of your workflow?

Since this involves specific steps with the bind pose (using the trash icon) and transitioning between Blender and CC5, seeing your exact operation step-by-step would be incredibly helpful. It will allow our internal QA team to replicate your exact environment and ensure we aren't missing any subtle details when investigating this with the development team.

Thank you again for your time, patience, and for helping us improve the pipeline!
