Sculpting animation

Hi there,
is it possible somehow to animate sculpting modifications? Sculpting doesn’t work with shape-keys. Is there another way?
thx,
knekke

well, yes it does. with your original mesh, record the basis shape key. Then go into sculpt mode and do your thing, like make a face out of a sphere. when done, record a second key. Back into sculpt and make tha face an alien. Back in object/edit, record a third shape key. Then set those keys to influence of 1 at whatever frames, animate, and you will have your sphere morphing from sculpted shape to sculpted shape.

Thanks for your answer, but when I try it that way (which I did before) I always get an Error: “Cannot sculpt on unlocked shape key” what does that mean?
thx,

<edit> just found out that I have to click that little pin-button… thx </edit>

I am encountering the same problem as knekke. if i add shape key, go into object mode, and then go into sculpt mode, i get the message that knekke does.

oops i forgot the comment about the pin button. if you add a new key and click on the pin button, you can add shape keys in sculpt mode
