Hi, I’m trying to understand the Control Rig better, so I’m following the [“Animating with the Control Rig”](https://youtu.be/SIp4vFoU_d8?t=767) video. Right in the first few minutes he goes into detail about the “Aim Node” in the Control Rig. For him, the Aim looks normal. When I pull the Aim Node in, some axes are broken and the head is completely twisted. What am I doing wrong? I start learning Control Rig and already the first node raises questions, although I have been working with Blueprints for years.

I also tried playing around with the axes without success. I can’t find any documentation info on how to feed the vectors here.

I hope there will be a more detailed resource for this wonderful tool soon.

Thanks
