Question

Character disapeared with basic rigging change

I was fixing some basic rigging for my character's walking and moved into record mode and she was gone. Refresh didn't work, but the puppet is still available in rig mode. Am I missing something obvious? It's just gone from record mode, and nothing directly that I did should have made it happen.

Funky! Is there anything recorded in the track for that character? The fact that you drag it to time zero and you see something is interesting. I notice that all your triggers are orange in the trigger panel (which means they are broken). Triggers and swap sets are a common reason why things disappear. The other possibility is the timeline had a recording of a position off the screen, or scaled to size zero etc. If you delete the character and drag it back in as a new track, do you immediately see this behavior? That would indicate its not a recording issue.

 

The other thing i would try is use "Export Puppet" from the menu and Import the .puppet file into a new fresh project. Does that work? Maybe the project got corrupted somehow...

Thanks for the quick reply! There's nothing recorded for the character. I fixed all the swap sets, and then tried deleting the character from the scene and adding it back as a new track, it was still missing. I also tried exporting the puppet and importing it into a new project. Nothing is working so far! It does feel like its something in the rigging side. The thing that gets me is that it shows up when I drag it to time zero. Do I just need to start a new puppet and rig it from scratch?

You're right about it being on the rigging side. What Rigging Issues show up when you click the "⚠" at the bottom of the Rig screen?
