Hi Guys,

I am working on a mascot head filter that uses shape key keyframe face animations I made in Blender; however, when I import it into Deep AR, the animation component is visble but doesnt work/play, other detached features like the eyes that I animated more manually seem to work but facial animations i made using the shape keys dont seem to translate upon play despite various file export formats and different fix attempts. Please help.
