Question

Parenting makes symbols move or disappear

Hi,

I am having this issue. When I use parenting sometimes it just doesn't work.

For example, parenting right leg to body is fine.

Parenting left leg makes the symbol jump to a different place or disappear.

Checked all my registration points and they are all fine.

Would I be better off simply rigging the character.

Thanks.

    LP has issues with flipped instances (as well as many others).

    You may want to consider SMR.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    I have looked at EDAPT and will surely try it.

    I am in production so I am waiting for a proper scene to try this out.

    Should be coming soon down the line. I also have to plan time to

    implement it in the production. At least a few days.

    Hard to tell from that screenshot but do you already have multiple keyframes on your timeline? If so, click on each one across all frames you have keyframes on with the Layer Parenting window open and see if the parenting is the same for EVERY keyframe.

    I will check that again.

    Thanks.
