Could you send me the project file so I can test?
Sure thing. I didn't have the original file, but I quick threw this one together so you can test it out. I just tested this version, and it's doing the same weird thing:

Also, I have one more small suggestion:
How about adding automatic scale "lock" on the structures just like you have on the controllers? I'm finding that I'm occasionally scaling rather than moving structures when I'm click and dragging on them.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate all your hard work on this!

Great, thanks! Just wanted to be clear on that.

The Spine issue is fixed ;)

I had to add a new controller at the root of Bezier IK, to handle it the same way as in Duik 15, to avoid some kind of "circular reference" in the expressions.

I'll post an update tomorrow

Hi Nicolas!

So I've run across another little bug:

When doing a "manual" 2 layer IK rig, Duik will freeze on the "Magic is Happening" comp if there are any bones or artwork layers parented to the structures. You have to make sure nothing is parented to the structures (aside from their child structures of course) before running the script and then it works OK.

Hope this is an easy fix! :)

OH, Important clarification: This only happens with a 2 layer IK with NO Goal layer - i.e. when you select just a controller at the end structure of a 2 part structure and then the two main structure layers (see attached image). A 2 layer IK WITH goal layer - like an arm with a hand, it works fine even if there are other layers parented to the structure.

Found some other very small issues with the "guides" on IK chains:

- When auto-rigging a leg, no "guide" is drawn even though the "display guides" checkbox is on. Turning it on or off does nothing.

- When auto-rigging a spine (which works great with the bones now ;) ), there is an extra set of controls added to the new "root" controller (which do not appear on a manually rigged Bezier IK), that includes a "display guides" checkbox which does nothing. The regular "display guides" checkbox under "Bezier IK" on the curve controller works fine, but it might be a tad confusing to have the extra one that doesn't do anything...

Overall, aside from the 2 layer IK freezing up thing I mentioned in my previous post, everything's working great.

I'd still love to see scale locks on the structures, though. ;)

Thank you!

I've recently fixed something like that, which was due to locked children layers. Can you confirm your bug happens only when the children are locked? If affirmative, this means it's fixed for the public release ;)

I'm aware of this one, but it's stupidly complicated to solve ;) I'm going to fix this later, when higher priorities are finished ;)

Thanks, I'll fix this today before the public release of tomorrow!


I'm listing all the fixes there, as always: https://github.com/Rainbox-dev/DuAEF_Du ... -Changelog (and there are a lot of them)

:!: Yes, it only happens when the layers are locked! I never noticed that...
:roll:

Glad that's already fixed! ;)

That makes sense, this is definitely a low priority issue.

Excited for the public release tomorrow! :D
