Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

;512978’]I’m guessing the rig that the motion is being imported onto is the mannequin itself? So the skeletons (positions and all) are entirely aligned?

Some possible things to try:

Did you check your curves on the baked mannequin skeleton after to make sure there was no weird euler flips? Maybe run an euler filter on that skeleton before exporting.
Import mocap to FK, and then use match over frame range to match the IK to the FK.

Let me know if either of those works for you!

Yep, the mocap is baked on the Mannequin, and the joints of the mannequin is aligned with the one from the mocap ( pos and orientation ).

The Euler filter looks like is doing nothing

Importing the animation using FK works and matching the IK to FK kinda works, meaning that I got better results, but the knee orientation is still going crazy sometimes.

Question: The mocap animation is perfectly fine and needs almost no tweaking at all, but if applied on the mannequin, baked and then applied on a character there are all those weird flipping and random orientation things happening which is totally weird to me.

Instead of using this workflow can you suggest an alternative solution or a different method which can solve this issue?

Cheers
