Error when animating rigg.

Question

Hi, its me again, thank you for your previous answer, it was very helpful. However I have another problem which I cannot solve. I made a character rigg based on a youtube tutorial by TipTud (using SMR helpers). I created the whole strucutre, I added IK effectors and everything looked fine. However when I tried to animte the rigg, a weird glitch appeared. When I create classic tween between two keyframes (key postiions), the mid positions kind of break. The parts of arms and legs do not keep together, for example when I rotate the upper part of arm, the lower arm does not rotate around the part where the two parts connect, but rather goes on horizonatl or vertical axis. As if they werent connected. Its weird because when I just move with the rig on frame one without animating it, everything works fine. (I dont know how to descibe it better, Im from Czech republic, sorry for my poor english).  What am I doing wrong, why is this happening?

 

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

V Papp

Hi again, Vojta!

(Your English is excellent. Don't worry at all about that.)

Generally, I would advise you to take some time and go through the documentation about SMR. The more you know, the better you will be able to use our system, which at this stage is quite complex and has lots of features.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but all is very logical and once you have a solid understanding of the basics you will progress fast.

Just give yourself time to play and experiment with very simple designs first.

Best regards!
