A technique using target-based vertex deformation for nuanced facial expressions and morphs.
Blend shapes—also called morph targets—are predefined variations of a base mesh where specific vertices are repositioned to create expressions, phonemes or shape changes. Animators interpolate between these targets via slider controls, enabling smooth transitions from neutral poses to smiles, frowns or other deformations.
Blend shapes date back to 1990s character animation, when studios sought more control over facial performance than skeletal rigs alone could provide. By storing multiple mesh snapshots—e.g., jaw open, eyebrows raised—artists could mix and match expressions in real time. Today’s pipelines integrate blend shapes with rig controls and corrective shapes for dynamic realism.
