I recently learned shape keys and made couple of them. However the hard part for me now is animating them. Once I set values to 1 and key them and do the same for another facial keys nothing happens when I play the animation. Any solution. I'd prefer some image tutorial but not a must.

Go to the desired frame on your timeline, hover the cursor over the shape key's value and press I. enter image description here

Go to another frame on a timeline, change the shape key's value to 1.000 and press I again. enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ You hover the cursor over the shape key's name. Hover it over the shape key's value. I've edited the answer to show you how to do it. $\endgroup$

To animate a shape key you need to set 2 keyframes. Normally, the first keyframe should have a value of 0 and the second a value of 1, although the values you set depend on the effect you are trying to achieve. Hope this helps..
