Hi, I’m having some trouble with the blendshape conversion on a custom mesh. After setting up the blendshape solve all the blendshapes are added to the list and I don’t get any error messages but the mesh that uses the blendshape conversion does not move. This is happening with another mesh as well for me, so I would really appreciate some help. Thank you!

Hello @sandra.brueckner! Welcome to the Community! A developer will get in touch with you shortly.
In the meantime, I found these posts which may help:
Also, here is a link to our documentation: User Manual — Omniverse Audio2Face documentation
Hi @sandra.brueckner, welcome to audio2face!
I’ve checked your .usd file and found out that your “template_model” has a different usdSkel structure than what we expect to get.
We expect to get the usdSkel structure as in the below image. How did you export this “template_model” as a .usd file? From Maya+Omniverse connector or somewhere else?
FYI, this is the omnigraph of “template_model” in your file. skel:blendShapeTargets and skel:skeleton have wrong connections, and SkelAnimation prim has no connection to the Joint prim.
Could you try export again using Maya+Omniverse connector as in this tutorial video?
Alternatively, you can re-organize the omnigraph connections as in the reference image and try again.
Hi, thank you for the answer! I am using Maya and the updated Omniverse connector to export to usd and I’m following the tutorial, but the connections aren’t correct when I import into A2F.
This is the file after exporting with the connector: template-model_mayaUpdate.usd (2.4 MB)
I also tried re-organizing the connections by hand, but now I get a warning saying the size of weights and number of blendshapes don’t match and the blendshape conversion still doesn’t work.

Maybe it’s just an issue with the maya export? I’m using Maya2022.1 and the connector 102.2.3.
Thank you again for the help, I appreciate it!
Hi @sandra.brueckner
I checked your file and this is due to an issue between Maya connector and Audio2Face when write/read .usd file with blendshapes. We made a fix for that and will release a new audio2face very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
In the meantime, you can try this file, I fixed the part that was wrong, and confirmed that this is working for blendshape conversion.
The fix I made → I had to remove “blendShape1” from all the pose names in skel:blendShapes attribute.
