Question

Recorded data in timeline getting changed whenever there is a change in the puppet.

Whenever I make any change in my puppet in character animator, the recorded data in my timeline gets overridden and reflects the same change automatically.

 

I don't understand why this is - the change should reflect in live input but how can it reflect automatically in data that is already recorded?

It is likely that the original timeline recordings are still there, just being superceded by a more recent "take" in the timeline. Take a look at your timeline. Look for a part that is greyed out. Look for parts above it that are occupying the same time. This feature exists so you can blend multiple takes together to get the performance you want.

Thank you for your response. However, takes are not what I'm referring to. Let me try and explain the issue again. I have a puppet - I recorded a scene using the same puppet with triggers and behaviours etc etc. However, if I make any changes to the same puppet, the already recorded data in my timeline also reflects the same change automatically. So if I were to change the colour of the t shirt for example - it's not just live input that reflects that change. In already recorded data as well the colour would be changed. Similarly, any trigger, anything at all moved around means my recorded data keeps changing. I don't understand this, that's the main difference between live data and recorded data no? If I record something, I shouldn't have to worry about it changing with the changes I make to the puppet.

Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to make changes to the puppet and the timeline is meant to record the original appearance of the puppet?


No. I had a full puppet set up and recorded something. I needed to add a few things to a puppet after that for another segment. When I made those changes to the puppet, what I had already recorded in the timeline also got altered.
