#Problem in IK
7 messages in this thread
Hello,
I have been working with IK alot in the past couple of weeks and I have ran
into an odd problem. Sometimes when linking objects and then going into IK I
get an invalid chain, eventhough it is a valid one. Then I can isolate the
peticular part of the chain that is the problem, go into the editor, make a
copy of the object, delete the old one, and then use the new one in the chain
and then there is no problem. This seems strange to me, especially since, in
one instance, all the part of the chain were copies of each other.
Then in a slightly similar problem, I can create a heirarchy, and then go into
IK and set everything up correctly and everything works fine. But if I than go
back out to the 3D editor and adjust mapping parameters or add parameters to an
object, when I go back into IK I get an invalid chain.
Is there a problem with IK,…
or a problem with what I am doing?

I'd like to get a copy of the problem file and a detailed step by step
description which allows me to consistantly recreate the situation.

Hi Jonas,
I can send a copy of the files to you. I will include a doc stating the exact
steps that I took.
Thanks,
Andrew

Looking forward to it.

Jonas.
I was just working on another project, and I had an IK chain setup. I then
went back into the 3D editor to adjust some vertices. I freezed some objects
to work on the verticies, and when I was done, I unfroze everything. I went
back into IK and again I got a message saying that the chain was now
ill-formed. I reloaded the project, did the same manipulations and it did not
occur a second time. I am really confused now.

There is a known problem with IK. I had trouble with mapping params killing
the IK Chain. Also had the prob of copied objects having no IK Chain. You may
also be doing something incorrectly but I doubt it. Joans will take care of
you.

Thanks for the info…
