Hi! Just upgraded to the new full-fledged version, and although I can see my puppet in 'rig' mode, I'm suddenly getting a blank screen in 'record' mode

Hmm and now pins and eye gaze aren't working at all? Is this a bug from the upgrade or am I doing something wrong? JanisCA.puppet - Google Drive

I rigged it so the triggers are A S D F G to turn the head and that worked beautifully, but when I added the cycle layers nothing shows up in record mode? When you get a moment, please take a look thanks so much Queen Ep1v4Jan19.chproj - Google Drive

Where are you placing he Cycle Layers in the puppet structure? Can you show a screenshot of where it's placed in the Puppet panel?

How are you wanting to use Cycle Layers with head turns?

Thanks.

P.S. The .chproj file is actually just an empty file. A Character Animator project is the actual folder that it exists in. We provide the .chproj file so that there's something for you to double-click or easily select in the Open project dialog box.

It's almost there, just a couple of places where it's not working?"P.S. The .chproj file is actually just an empty file. A Character Animator project is the actual folder that it exists in.

OK I found a cycle layer and took it off, now she's in the record screen again, but I'm trying to figure out how to do head turns using triggers and cycle layers

I think the problem is how it's set up in the .ai file?

Refreshing didn't help!! I took all the triggers and cycle layers off

And now, even though I've deleted it, I'm only getting a black screen in record mode.

Hi,

Can you tell us a little about your computer? What are the specs? RAM? OS? GPU?

Thanks,

Does refreshing the scene (click the Refresh button in the lower-right corner of the Scene panel) make a difference?

If not, does holding down the Option key while clickng Refresh help?

Also, where in the puppet hierarchy were you applying the Cycle Layers behavior and what were its settings? Screenshot of that puppet group and the Properties panel showing the settings would be helpful.

Thanks.

Every time I try to add cycle layers, the character disappears?

Looks like you're scrolled later in time? Click the Go to Start button (where the transport controls are at the bottom of the Scene panel) to go back to the beginning of time to see if the puppet track is showing up there.
