Hey, Dont think I have ever encountered this problem, but have had a problem with some of the pre built softimage tools like spine and tail. What usualy happens is as your building your rig in soft, you are working in the scene root and some soft tools modify the mixer in the model, and then when you put everything under a new model export it and bring it it, the rig freaks out as what it relies on in your mixer no longer exists, I found the best way was to create a spine component youself and bring it in when needed of work under a model when you are creating a rig, that way any alterations will get applied to the mixer of the rig you will be exporting.
Not sure if this will fix your problem, but its just something to keep in mind sometimes. cheers Si On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 8:38 PM, Gerbrand Nel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Matt > This one bit me and Darren a couple of years ago. 2010 or 2009 maybe. > We couldn't figure out a perfect fix for this, but we also noticed that > the problem was more likely to occur on reloading a scene rather than > starting softimage clean. > At the time I was convinced that it was a linux exclusive problem, but > I've seen it in win7 a few times over the years. > The neck in the xsi rig also does this from time to time. > Nowadays I'll just recreate the spine and head of an xsi character if I'm > forced to use that rig. > Sorry I can't give you a fix, but at least you know you're not alone..
