Sigh: 5.2 breaks Mirror Copy again

Hi Tonio.
Had a quick fresh go and no prob here so under Leopard.

Cheers
Frank

Weird -- I'm getting this error (see screenshot) using the Dec 2009 version (and Snow Leopard, obviously).

 

[frank beckmann]

Bummer.
I´m using still the version from June 2008.
With the newer version I got the same issue. So you might try the older one again.

Cheers
Frank

D'oh. The problem with the earlier version is it's broken for my naming convention ... and I think a few bugs got fixed along the way. Thanks for checking.

hi

yes, some of my script won't work on 5.2, because prototype functions I used for debugging.

so, please comment out line.16 - line.26. it will work again.

/* comment out for v5.2
Vec2D.prototype.toString = function() {
	return this.u.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.v.toFixed(6);
}
Vec3D.prototype.toString = function() {
	return this.x.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.y.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.z.toFixed(6);
}
Vec4D.prototype.toString = function() {
	return this.x.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.y.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.z.toFixed(6) + ' ' + this.w.toFixed(6);
}
*/

EDIT:

I udated the script for 5.2, please update it.

Link broken.

I use this script all the time but the update link is not working for me.

 

[frank beckmann]

Strange - both links are working for me. (here on page 1 and 3)
Should I send it to you?

Cheers
Frank

 

[uncle808us]

Yes Thanks Frank,

Hope everything is going good with you.

The attached error occurs when I select the figure's root bone and then hit copy followed by paste.

The obvious use of Mirror Copy is to "flip" a pose (e.g. if you're creating a walk cycle, you start by creating one pose as a keyframe, making two evenly-spaced copies, then flipping the middle pose. But when I try to do this I get an error.

I can flip parts of the pose (e.g. copy the left arm's pose, and paste a flipped version on to the right) but this doesn't help much -- to get the desired result I need to flip each limb individually, and use a stored pose to get the unflipped data back (hard to explain... but it's not pretty).

hi, thank you for reporting.

I fixed that bug, so please update it.

Link type parameter like "target", "pole" won't copy/paste for some tags. you have to set manually after copying.

Before and after images.

Hmm. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Note that there is geometry mixed into the hierarchy (e.g. the pistol) -- but the problem occurs even if I remove them.

 

[tg_jp]

hi,

I suppose that in your scene file, bone object's hierarchy contains a body polygon objects? if so, the script copies polygon object as mirrored, so geometry would be wrong by skelton tag.

I can add "don't copy polygon" or "no mirror" option for polygon object in hierarchy.

could you post that scene file for more info?

regards.

tg_jp, Hiroto

 

[podperson]

Here's the scene file -- thanks for looking into this.

 

[tg_jp]

hi, thank you for your file.

please use 'none' parameter of "mirror plane" for that purpose ( simple parameter copy ). I added 'none' option for latest update.

regards.

[podperson]

Thank you '

... hmm it doesn't seem to do anything at all.

 

[tg_jp]

hi,

Thank you '

... hmm it doesn't seem to do anything at all.

ah... I totally didn't get what you do with the script.

try this for it.

* copy BASE hierarchy for reference. please remove asymmetrical object ( like GUN ) from object's hierarchy before copying.
* copy parameter from reference's R-Thigh, then paste paramter to L-Thigh. do the same for anotehr 3 group ( R-Thigh, L-Shoulder, R-Shoulder ).


regards.

tg_jp, Hiroto.

Ah OK that's what I was doing before... Thanks again.
