Mixer not updating during playback

Mixer not updating during playback

thanks...

I guess I caused some kind of dependency cycle there...
I've came up with a solution/workaround... instead of storing the custom
sliders current values,
I use the sliders to pose the facial expression, and store the control spline's
dymond and cube controlers current values..

reading the thread.. seems like it's a similar problem....

thanks again..

Oz.

     its driving me insane!

     I am trying to do some rough blocking of an animated commercial we do,
     I got two quadrupeds, and their facial system is built from control
splines.

     I've created some poses with the control splines, stored their current
values, and layered them into the mixer,
     switched "normalize" off, and connected them to sliders. (using Animation
clips, did not convert them to shapes)


     now when I try to do the blocking, I created a marking set on each
quadruped, that consists also the curent values
     of the facial sliders, that drive the clips on the mixer..

     when I move the timeline in the mixer, the facial system does update, but
when rendering or capturing there is no
     updating on the mesh facial poses.. it's stays the same all the time.
(the body\skeleton static poses, update normally)

     I know there were some update issues with the mixer in the past...
     has this happened to someone else too?

     Oz.
