Duik Not Creating Controllers on AutoRig/IK

Post by KingBeast » Thu Apr 18, 2019 5:18 pm

As the title says, I'm using Duik to rig a basic humanoid character (a skeleton), and I'm following this tutorial here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i63vPXJ00r0&t=967s) to do so. I have used this tutorial and method with great success prior.

However, now when I attempt to use the Auto-rig & IK function, it is not creating the controllers needed. I am missing one foot, and both hand controllers.

Likewise, it is also bringing up the 'Magic is Happening' waiting screen as a composition (that I can go in and see/edit) that Duik makes when it is processing a command.

Is there a way to fix this? I am not the most technical person on the planet and did have help to install duik, so putting things into a very simplified set of directions would be appreciated if the fix is on the more technical side. Thank you for your help!

A screenshot of the issue at hand, you can also see the 'magic is happening' as a created composition in the comp file areas.

Hi,

It seems you've found a bug...
Let me know what is your version of After Effects, and:
Can you "enable javascript debugging" in the preferences of After Effects (either in the general tab, or the scripting tab for most recent versions) and then try again?
An error should be show, or a full code editor. Just grab a screenshot of the whole window, and post it here so I can have a look ;)

Thanks!

Hello Duduf,

I have After Effects 2019 (version 16.1.1 build 4). I enabled the javascript debugging but it hasn't brought up any additional windows - I'm not technologically savvy and am not sure how to bring up this window.

Ultimately the problem just happened to fix itself with my build before, but in an attempt to make further rigs - it's happening again. Duik's auto-rig and IK will creature the spine controls and Ik, maybe one foot control, but then will not make hands or one of the foot controls. I can manually input the hands and they rig up just fine, but trying to make the other foot rig makes all the controls go haywire.

Let me know what you think, or how to open up that Script editor so it can show the errors.

Thanks!

Can you send me an aep as it is just before you run the autorig? (on which fails on your side)

I'll test here to see what may be wrong
