IK/FK Switch not working

Post by rickswah » Tue Jan 29, 2019 12:52 pm

hello!

I'm trying to use the IK/FK switch, doing exactly as it's described on the documentation, but nothing is really happening but it's only turning the IK on and off.
Dunno what other detail should I describe to help to understand what's going on

I'm using the AE 2019 (16.0.1) version on win 10

Did you try unfolding the FK controls under the IK Button in your controller ?

I'll run some tests to make sure everything works, but as Gérard said, after the switch you should be able to animate using FK, and the switch may add some keyframes in these FK controls.

well, it was an isolated issue with my rig. I did some tests with a fresh IK and is working perfectly.

It seems I'd duplicated IK controller effects and some other messy stuff haha
I just deleted everything and made a new one from scratch, it's working fine now.

sorry for bothering haha

okay, I found the issue!
I don't really like to have the Markers over my timeline, so I always delete the Controller marker that comes along the IK, and that's why nothing happens when I press the Switch button haha

well, I hope it helps anyone who has the passing by the same issue

Oh yes, the markers contain hidden data which Duik needs to work properly.

If they bother you, you can move them out of the timeline, without deleting them; just move them to a negative time, they will be hidden but still there ;)
