DUIK 16: Pre-composition Error when extracting controllers
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2018 3:15 pm
Hi Guys,
It is my first time posting here on the forum. Good to be here and I am loving Duik so far.
I am encountering a problem with my character rig that I am using for a scene.
I rigged the character and pre-composed it so that I could add it to the environment scene.
I then extracted the controllers on the pre-comp and everything was working fine. The characters bones were responsive and I scaled the pre-comp down but never larger than the size that I set it as.
After animating for a while, I got 4 error messages on After Effects telling me that:
"After Effects warning: Expression disabled. Error at line 1 in property 'Goal position' of layer 80 ('C | Foot') in comp 'Once_Upon_A_Time_In_Yeoville - New Comp'. layer named 'FootRoll | Foot 2' is missing or does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved, or deleted, or the name may have been mistyped."
When checking the source of these layers, I found that they do exist in the pre-comp and the rig works perfectly in there but outside of the precomp, the controllers for my characters "Hand", "Hand 2" and "Foot", "Foot 2' structures where not responsive anymore.
I then tried relinking the expressions parent to the precomp from thisComp.layer("FootRoll | Foot 2").effect("IK | Foot")(36) to comp(“McGuyver - Character Only_Fixed_V5_Rerig_Proper”).layer(“FootRoll | Foot 2”).effect(“IK | Foot”)(36) which did not work at all.
What can I do to resolve the matter? and what have I done wrong?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance on the matter.
Thanks
