    So of course when I try this, the Bind (which the documentation says can take a long time) is almost instant, yet editing the mesh cage doesn't move the object with the modifier on it... and no error messages or warnings... sigh!

    I have a cartoon character head that is deformed with standard shape keys (no lattice deform), to sing along with lyrics, but I also want the eyes to move, they are a separate mesh. anyway to get them to deform based on the shaped keys I have for the head?

    Since it is a mesh and not a rig, you can not exactly key its deformations. What you could try is creating shape keys and key those, or create a rig for the "proxy" mesh and animate that

    He basically was in Object Mode (not Edit mode) and Added a new Mesh > Cube , and then started transforming that cube (but first he has clicked the buttons Toggle X-Ray , and the button Wireframe , you can find those buttons on the top right of your ViewPort Editor , they are visible from 0:42 until 1:00)

    The tutorial is really nice, but I have a question :) Can I export the mesh with the cage and the modifier to Unity? I need to do this for an armor. If yes, is there anything special to be done? I searched everywhere and I couldn't find an answer to this. Thanks!

    For that I think you would need to apply the modifier to bake it into the mesh. Then import into Unity.

    Although I'm not new to 3D, I'm new to Blender. So, my question is: Does it work in a previously animated character? I want to create a cartoony deformation in my character after animating it. Deformations work in already animated characters in 3ds Max, but I'm not sure if it works the same way in Blender.
