Reverting Controller Extraction

Hi,

I have a rigged character in a pre-composition from which I have extracted the controllers into its parent composition. I was wondering if there was a (simple hopefully) way to "bring back" the controllers into the pre-composition in order to animate from there (it does not matter in this situation if the animated keyframes from the parent composition are deleted).

Thank you for your help,
Jean-Sébastien Mathieu

Unfortunately, there's no "quick" way yet.

This is a feature I'll have to implement ASAP. In the meantime, you'll have to remove the expressions in the controllers in the precomposition, but only the expressions used for linking them (not the ones used to compute the IK for example). It's pretty easy to understand which one you need to remove, but it changes a bit depending on the version of Duik used. It may either be the simple one-line expressions linking to the other comp, or the expressions beginning by "//Duik.link"
Another way to find them is to delete all the controllers in the main comp, and then remove all expressions with errors in the precomp, this should work too.
