So i just finished this bird rig only to have double transformations when transforming the global control. I did what i was supposed to do in this case which was uncheck "inherit transform" on the mesh and what not. Then it worked! EXCEPT- The birds wings have feather meshes which are seperate from the main body mesh, the feathers on the left side are working perfectly, its the feathers on the right side, that no matter how i rearrange them in the hierarchy or group them or uncheck the "inherit transform" box, they continue to double transform, im not sure where this extra transform is coming from!
Could it be because i mirrored these feathers from the ones on the left? Is it my blend shape (that has curves/clusters on it)? why is it just the right feathers??
any help would be appreciated, i hope this made sense. Thanks.
EDIT: My earlier solution to this was to delete the history, but stupid me didnt realize this messes up the weight painting i did and other controls to the meshes. Therefore i am STILL IN NEED OF SOME HELP. sorry u_u
so in my certain situation, the order of the inputs was what was giving my double transformations.... All i had to do was put my blendshape input at the top of the list, and its working like a charm, nothing broken or anything! i sincerely hope this helps someone
this is too funny, doing this fix, fixed the double rotations, but seemed to nullify the skin cluster so the feathers dont move with the joints. So, im back to square one i think. I know im getting triple transforms but i cannot find out where the third transform is coming from. It's doesnt seem to be the mesh...
Sounds like you're having fun, though probably would have to see your file to help out. Usually the easiest way to problem solve any issue is to break things down in to baby steps, usually a little more tricky once you've skinned something and you're a bit further down the pipeline. Of course you can always export your skin weights out if you're afraid of losing that information and examine what you've got going on more closely with the rig.
haha, thanks for the reply, i sure am frustrated. I'm not sure how i would post the file, im pretty new to the site. I for the life of me, cant tell what went wrong, or how to fix it. im tempted to just redo this project...
Haha yeah, sometimes just redoing things is alot faster then trying to polish a turd as they say. And yeah fairly new to this site as well, but stephen.vaifoou@gmail.com if you want me to take a quick look at it.
