Re: XSI constraints not updating when running script.

[Raffaele Scaduto-Medola <raffaele(at)inch.com>]

Hi Nicolas,

Thx for the post, I checked to make sure there wasn't any animation on the 
constrain object.
What I did notice is that the we actually have 3 constraints (as this ball 
goes from one hand to another, and the world), and the blendweight 
channels are tied to expressions on a seperate control.

Could their be a refresh problem with expressions controlling blendweight 
on constraint objects not evaluating ?

Is there a way in XSI to link to channels together without creating an 
expression ?
