Testing with the sample file from https://www.katsbits.com/codex/avatar-morph-animation/ it all works well using less than 8 shape keys, but adding 12 shape keys for example, the morph animation file (.XPF) is not created.

 

I believe the issue is the file name, the file name becomes too long and can't be created.

I tested using classic and IMVU Studio, doesn't work on both.

 

Is this a known limitation?

Anyone know a solution for this?

Should add, it's a long standing issue as you've discovered, it happens in Classic AND Studio.

Not sure what's causing the issue exactly but it likely relates to the way we have to set 'morph' animations up to have both a Shape Key AND Action sequence to get the file to export. For some reason IMVU is pulling the sequence name from the shape keys themselves rather than the Name attributed to the overall sequence.
