DeeJay Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi! Strange things happen to my constraints, maybe I miss something? I just want to animate the enforcement-setting of the "translate to"-constraint from 100% to 0%, but before reaching the 0% the bone with "translate to" is snapping to a strange position. I already found some postings talking about the same problem, but it seems there's no solution for this? I'm still running the v11.1. Maybe someone else wants to give it a try ... I've attached an example-project. Cheers, DJ translate_to_problem.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Check the enforcement interpolation, it needs to be "linear". You can find it if you use the timeline, DJ. Buried in the A Face Rigging Method tutorial is that information. It's worth watching even if you're not rigging a face. Hope that helps.

DeeJay Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Changing the interpolation method seems to have no effect on this problem. Anyway, I'll download the videos and give them a try. Maybe they're the magic key ... Cheers, DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The null had some movement on it that took effect when the constraint let go...I deleted the movement on the null. Sorry I didn't check the file before this...I was pressed for time. It still doesn't hurt to watch the tutorial, but, in this case it wasn't necessary. -------------------------- EDIT -------------------------- This one should be in v11.1, the first time I posted it was a v13 file...my brain doesn't always work....as I have demonstrated already.

DeeJay Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sorry, but the motion is a must for this animation! You see, the eye-target in my Boris animation is following the fly up to some point. But before & after this part I must animate the eye-target in a normal way. So killing the motion-keys is not an option for me. Anyway, I'm thankful for your help! DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Oh, okay, then just adjust the motion of the null since it is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJay Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'd like to, but the problem is: While the enforcement goes down to 0%, the null-object is translating to it's initial XYZ-coordinates within the model itself until the enforcement reaches 0%. When reaching 0% it's snapping to the intended position. Conclusion: the enforcement-value is not added or blended with the other motion of the null-object. Why not? Maybe it's a "feature" and I just don't get it? Am I dumb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJay Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ok, I've found this in the reference: BLENDING CONSTRAINTS To blend two constraints OF THE SAME TYPE, simply have them ordered together in the Constraint list for the bone. The “Enforcement” variable (“0” to “100” percent) of each constraint determines the amount of blending. So enforcements seems to be only for blending two constraints, not for fading out the constraint. Cheers, DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
