Advanced Twist Controls (AFR_2B)

[Rowan Murphy]

Hi,

I'm currently following the AFR_2B tutorial using my own custom made character model instead of JJ. I'm using Maya 2012. Everything is going fine until I apply the Advanced Twist Controls for the back_ikHandle. When I rotate the hip_anim and shldr_anim on the Y-Axis, nothing happens. The rest of the torso does not twist with it. It does twist however when I rotate on the X-Axis. I have the hip/shldr anims and joints rotate order on ZXY as instructed. I started again from scratch to see if the problem fixed itself. No luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rowan

Just to add, the torso also twists when I move the shldr_anim and hip_anim forwards and backwards along Z.

I figured it out what I did wrong.  I oriented the joints to world because I thought they were all supposed to point the same way. I went back to the start without orientating the joints and it all worked out. This had been bugging me for weeks.
