I have a character in blender with shape keys. As you can see below the characters body has the shape keys.

I exported this character as an FBX into 3D Exchange. In 3D Exchange I converted him into a non-standard character by assigning his body bones. I want to be able to animate the face in blender because I find iClone expressions look too similar from one character to an other. From 3D Exchange I exported him as an iAvatar. I imported the iAvatar in iClone7. I animated the body as planned. I then exported the character and his animation as a FBX for import into blender for face animation and rendering. The problem I am having is somewhere in this process I lost the shape keys. See below.

Does anyone know which transfer the shape keys were lost and/ or a solution to keep them?
