Foot Roll isn't working!

Post by El_Temple » Mon Nov 09, 2020 7:15 pm

Hi,
I'm new to Duik and using some tutorials I built a character rig and everything is working fine except for the foot roll function but only in the case of one foot!
In the image I have attached the Left foot (our Right) and the Right foot (our Left) have the same amount of foot roll used - -20
but both react completely different to the foot roll.

Please help! I've been pulling my hair out for two days now trying to figure it out!

Apparently i can't add a photo but basically one foot is warped like it is supposed to be and the other is rigid and at an angle pointing downwards -20 degrees

Hi,
it is difficult to tell without picture, you should be able to add an attachement, try with a .jpg picture. Check if there's no something different between the effect panel of your Right Foot Controller and your Left Foot Controller. If there isn't, check in the expressions of both Feet controllers layers.

Hi there!
I have the exact same problem (I think).

Image

- When using foot roll, the heels strangely stick to the ground (see picture)
- Same thing happens when I create a walk cycle, only the feet are lifted from the ground
- Also, the foot roll only works on foot 1, but rolls both feet. When I use it on foot 1, nothing happens.

Image

Image

- I realized that my heel structures are connected to the seemingly wrong feet (see pics above)...
- but if I change it to the corresponding feet, it doesn't change anything

I should mention that I did the rigging by creating a hominoid structure, then using auto-rig. I didn't (knowingly) change any settings.

Okay, I just found out that I can create a demo fully riggend homonoid with a walk cycle by alt-clicking the homonoid button.
Strangely, this one is very differently connected, the heel structures go to the tiptoe structures.

When trying to set up my own rig like that, I relized that AE greys out my tiptoe structure when I try to connect my heels to it.
What's happening...?

I have also found a Youtube video where someone has the same sticky heels problem:

Also, this guy seems to have the same problem, also the connections are the same as in my rig (but not as in the demo walk cycle):

So I set up a completely new project and rigged my character again.
I still have the same problem of the sticky heels, however, I can now individually use foot roll for each foot using its controler.
The heels are now connected to their respective foot controllers (not like before, where they were connected to the controllers of the opposite foot).
But again, when trying to connect them to the tiptoes like the Duik demo rig is connected, the tiptoes are greyed out.

Please help!

Can you send me an Aep so I can have a look?
Or grab a video recording of your rigging process?

Hi! Did you find a solution to this?
I've been having the same issue with sticky heels.

Edit: I only just now saw that your reply was from earlier today. Fair enough if you haven't solved it yet ;)
I'll leave my post here, to add my voice to the ones having this issue.

I can't solve the issue without having a look at what's failing on your side
