In this chapter we saw how to associate shape keys with a mesh and how to add an IPO to animate transitions between those shape keys. Specifically, we learned how to:
- Define IPOs
- Define shape keys on a mesh
- Define IPOs for those shape keys
- Pose armatures
- Group changes in poses into actions
In the next chapter, we shall learn how to create custom textures and shaders.
