What should I do if when Control+J join the legs to the body ruins my shape keys? I know it seemed like in the vid at that point you were concerned it wouldn't work. Thanks Kent!!! I love this tutorial series.
CTRL + Z is the first thing I recommend doing ;) But seriously, combining a mesh with another mesh that has shapekeys will most likely ruin the keys. So it's best to finalize your mesh before adding keys.
Hey awesome thanks kent! yeah haha i did try control + z but it didn't fix it:( i think it was because i was in edit mode because sometimes it won't let me control z when I'm in edit mode but in object mode it works! Anyway I ended up creating new shape keys, and thanks again for the reply!
