Hi Lucas,

I've done setups like that many times. I have also had serious problems
with Reset Actor with anything more complex then a mocap rig. My
solution... don't use Reset Actor =). Store--> "Transformations--Current
Values" and just apply the action when you want to reset. You can even
make a button or use the synopticto do this if you adhere to a naming
convention.

Hi Lucas,
  
I've done setups like that many times. I have also had serious problems
with Reset Actor with anything more complex then a mocap rig. My solution...
don't use Reset Actor =). Store--> "Transformations--Current Values" and
just apply the action when you want to reset. You can even make a button
or use the synopticto do this  if you adhere to a naming convention.

doing a setup for a character right now and finally found a solution for
the left arm. Envelope works
fine so far.. But as soon as we mirror the joints
via Duplicate Symmetry with Freeze Negative Scaling off, Reset Actor
disrupts the mesh on the mirrored joints.The
idea was that we could select both Arms and rotate them in the same direction,
therefore Freeze Negative Scaling was turned off.<o:p><

Any
Idea for a work-around or other solutions ?<o:p></o:p>
