Assign Shape Keys earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a lightweight curve utility carried over from Blender's bundled 4.1 add-ons, now maintained with limited support and kept compatible with 4.2 LTS and newer.
Assign Shape Keys is a Blender add-on that assigns one or more Bezier curves as shape keys to another curve. It was originally created by Shrinivas Kulkarni and lives in the View 3D Sidebar, under the Edit tab, once installed and enabled.
The extension was previously part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered on its own with limited support. It lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. At under ten kilobytes, it stays small.
Within the Blender extensions library, Assign Shape Keys is a compact utility carried over from Blender's earlier bundled tools.
