*** WIP *** POC ***: Blender bpy addon that splits a mesh up based on preset masks.

shapesplit

***POC*** A simple bpy addon that splits up a mesh's shapekeys into preset vertex group masks.

Overview

Currently a POC addon: This tool is only a visualization at the moment and does not have functionality. Functionality will be added as I learn bpy!

This tool will do the following:

• Take your current context object and creates new shape keys using a base shape key and masking it out using vertex groups.
• The tool will then allow the user to bake each grouped vertex groups into the base shape keys to create new shape keys.

This is meant as a very quick and scalable implemenation of the slow and handsy 'vertex group masking shape key' bake workflow.

Goals

• Interface implementation
• Create unique presets within the interface controls (currently 3 different presets are hardcoded)
• Assign unique presets to each shape key
  • Currently only selects for all shape keys
• Bake functionality.
