Salut Guillaume
I hope you’re ok.
Thanks for your input. It’s in fact comforting us in the
direction of how resolving this issue.
We did solve the IK-FK blend ala Motion builder – where the
IK rig drives the FK and vice versa - with that same technique.
The tests we made so far on our in-house basic human rig are
quite encouraging.
Did you notice some weird behavior or drawbacks on the use of
this technique in production ?
Thanks
Jm

Subject: Re: the Cycle thing
Salut Jean Marc,
You can avoid the cycle issue if you don't create the relation at
"animation time". Just create the relation at "manipulation
time" :-).
The "On Selection Change Event" is your friend for this kind of
manipulations.
Here is a quick test :
http://www.vol2nuit.fr/guillaume/selection_event/selection_event
There is an inactive pose constraint on each cubes. If you select cube1, cube2
constraint is active and vice-versa.
When you select the arrow, the constraints are inactive and you can play the
animation.
I never use a such "manipulation setup" in production, so maybe there
is something wrong with this technique...
Cheers
Guillaume

Hi all
Two existential
questions from our TD department here :
First is : Is
it possible to create a relation between 2 objects which are influencing each
other, without creating the « cycle » issue ?
For example :
Obj A position
influences Obj B position and Obj B position influences Obj A position back
again.
Can we think of
creating a bi-directional constraint via a Script Operator ?
And another
one : Is it possible to create a Script operator to deal with global
transformations of an object, while keeping the possibility to move this object
with the Move tool in the UI ?
Thanks for your help
