Question

Puppet keeps glitching/jumping on face record

When I try to record puppet facial expressions the whole puppet keeps jumping between the position where my face is and the position somewhere between my face and the original position.

Example here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11CwAeL4fq1_yQPIrUCuvwBj7l90Vx0i2/

 

I can't seem to find any solution to my problem. Has somebody have similar kind of problem?

Does it happen with other puppets? (If so, maybe check your lighting)

 

Can you share a screenshot of your rigging hierarchy?

 

If you record with everything on, does it still jump like that? Does the playback of the recording also jump? If you look at the recording, can you see if smile or similar triggers are occurring when it jumps back ? The start deleting bits of the recording to isolate which one it is.

Tried with some of the demo puppets. Didn't happen with them.

Added a screenshot with my rigging.

 

Happens even with recording everything on. 

If I check frames one-by-one after recording everything seems ok, but if i play the recording or export it to video / drop it to premiere everything is still jumping as in the example.

Weird! So no profiles to worry about. Fairly standard looking hierarchy...

 

What I personally do next is export the puppet, import it into a clean empty project, then start deleting sections of the puppet and behaviors in the rigging panel and retest (I don't touch the artwork, just delete things from the rigging hierarchy in CH). Delete, retest, delete, retest, delete, retest... Then when the problem goes away I undo then work out what I just deleted. E.g. is there a behavior causing it? Or a particular layer (and if so, what tags are on that layer).  In this case, I would personally start with behaviors on the root of the puppet then other layers of the puppet. A fun one I failed to find recently was someone had put a cycle layers on the root of the puppet by accident for example. Looking for accidental extra behaviors can be fruitful - e.g. are there two Face behaviors with different Head strengths fighting over things?
