    Hi, I have a character with a lot of blendshapes and need to animate them. Ideally i would do it in code. However changing them in code with SkinnedMeshRenderer.SetBlendShapeWeight seems to be extremely slow while doing it in an animation is fine.

    My question is: Is there a better way to change blendshapes in code?

    Welp. It seems that having the skinned mesh focused on the inspector was the problem. Weird but not a problem anymore.

    yes i don't think there should be a difference in controlling a blendshape through code or though animation keyframes.
