Hi
I was looking for a way to generically mirror symmetric controllers that I
could setup and re-use with other assets with similar controllers. Gear
Mirror Pose could be a viable option but while I can set up rules and the
the "Mirror Pose" to work I can't import a set of ruls. I get some errors,
so just wondering if that is it.
*If GEAR it's not supposed to support arbitrary FK controllers Import
ignore the below.*
So this is what I got with a Non-Gear controllers.
"Edit Mirroring Template" error with Non-Gear controllers:
# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<Script Block 2>", line 150, in gear_CreateMirrorTemplate_Execute
# cnx_prop = ani.createMirrorCnxTemplate(model, xsi.Selection)

line 114, in createMirrorCnxTemplate

"Edit Mirror Template" error with Gear Rig. It's the same, but it makes
sense if this is not needed since mirror.cnx is already in place
# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<Script Block 2>", line 150, in gear_CreateMirrorTemplate_Execute
# cnx_prop = ani.createMirrorCnxTemplate(model, xsi.Selection)

Application.gear_CreateMirrorTemplate()
So I decided to check Gear's chicken rig and the "Mirror Pose" command
works! But strangely this is what "mirror_cnx" PPG looks like
Nothing there.
But if I Export the xml has it all like
But if I try to Import that same xml it throws an error. Just like the
Non-Gear controllers.
# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there someway to make this work or I might just have to reeinvent my own
wheel? :D
