I’m modeling a character and doing expression tests with shape keys. She has a multires modifier and the sculpt mode changes I make to shape keys doesn’t seem to apply (or rather it messes up my base mesh). I looked up the topic and apparently multires is incompatible with shape keys, but this tutorial I’m following seems to do it just fine? (link should jump to the timecode) [this video] They also do some combo of multires and shrinkwrap earlier in the video, but their explanation is so fast I can't follow it. I don't know what they mean by "apply sculpt to base mesh instead multires layers". Does this have anything to do with my problem? (again, this link jumps to the timecode) [this video] Can some

This video goes through the full process [this video] but stack exchange is meant to answer more specific questions.

If I repologize it and then add subdivide to the retopologized version will it look smooth? Also, the tutorial I'm talking about is this: [this video] at about 5:55min he talks about having it high res and polishing it, that's where my question came from.
