Shape Animation not working?

[Shredder565]

For some reason, every now and then, the Shape Animator just refuses to work. The base scene model works when I open up it's original file. But for some reason, whenever I insert it into this particular scene, it doesn't want to work at all. I move the slider, and the animation does not deform like it is supposed to. Other scenes it works perfectly. nothing is different.

any ideas?

You're exporting a model from one scene and importing it in another scene? Are you using reference models? Are you using merge scene instead of exported models?

Yes to the first question. no to the second. I tried to merge it with a new scene, and same effect.

i finally decided to close the project and start fresh with a whole new scene. for some strange reason, it worked the second time around. highly annoying
