Driver Exporter - Object Shape Keys

Developer: Inlet

Download Free

Blender add-on that bakes bone- or object-driven shape keys into object shape keys so they survive game engine export.

What Driver Exporter - Object Shape Keys does

Shape keys controlled by bones or other objects through drivers often break when a model moves into Unreal Engine 5 or Unity. Inlet's Driver Exporter bakes them into ordinary shape keys on the object, detaching them from the armature.

The process takes just two buttons, one to bake and one to export, and needs your animation placed in NLA strips. Blender 2.93 through 5.0 are listed, along with GPL licensing and documentation. Game artists exporting facial or corrective animation get a more dependable result.

Key features

  • Two-button bake and export workflow
  • Converts driver-based shape keys to object shape keys
  • Frees shape keys from the armature
  • Targets Unreal Engine 5 and Unity
  • Blender 2.93 to 5.0
