Hey there. So, I’m transferring data from one animated rig to a completely different animated rig. Translations seem to be working fine, but whenever I apply a key to the rotations using this code:
for animTime in animStart to animEnd do
with animate on
at time animTime
(
p = inverse proxyName.transform.rotationPart
orientName.rotation = p
)
I end up setting keys on the orientation and translation. Conceptually, I think I know what’s going on (I could be wrong). Since the position of a rotated object in a hierarchy is also changing it’s world position and “animate on” records changes associated with objects referenced within, it sets keys on position as well. Is there a way to isolate the keys to the rotation and avoid altering the translation? Maybe I’m not setting the right rotation value.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Alec

Do this when you are collecting the transforms for your objects keys. Getting the rotation or transform data relative to the parent is very important.
if (animObj.parent == undefined) then (
obj_Transform = animObj.transform
) else (
obj_Transform = animObj.transform * (inverse animObj.parent.transform)
)
Applying that transform to the new object should work better than the method you were using before. Also, be careful with scales you may have to do a check and some math before applying this transform back.
