New to Animation Editor: Inverse Kinematics

[inHeadspace (vee)]

oh my gosh yES!

This is amazing!

Dangit… I was really hoping for custom rig support. Well, I guess regular rigs will be a lot cooler now at least.
It’s a great step in the right direction!

Thank you for this feature!

Now it’s time to update the roadmap again: https://www.robloxdev.com/resources/Roblox-Platform-Roadmap

someone get these people a raise

I might actually be able to create animations now!

[JollySunbro6]

Yes, eventually we would like to support custom rigs! For now, we’re hoping to discover what works and what doesn’t with the current system on regular rigs.

This is really cool, however I stopped liking the animation editor after the migration to using plugin widgets. I really don’t like it as it always snaps onto places I don’t want it to, and it has that bar at the top, wasting valuable screen space. Can’t really get it the right size either as the contents don’t scale nicely. An example of good screen space efficiency I think is with Moon Suite. I want to try this but I don’t want to but myself through the torment of the new editor.
Maybe a bit dramatic and off topic, but you get the point.

Bit of a necro bump, sorry, but every time I try to use the IK editor, it crashes within a minute or two of enabling it.

Yep, lots of posts about this.

Studio crashes when enabling IK on Animation Editor

As the topic title says, Roblox Studio crashes when I use the Apply IK feature and attempt to move a joint with the Animation Editor. Normally, I’d expect this to not crash at all, of course. This bug happens 100% of the time. To reproduce the issue giving me the crash: Spawn an R15 Block Dummy from the Animation menu Open the animation editor, select the dummy Select Apply IK Select a joint and try to drag - crash occurs This happens on Roblox Studio. I’ve tried it on at least five blank b…

It was said that a fix was being made 29 days ago. No word back yet.

@ContextLost has created a fix for this crash, it should go out in the next version of Studio and can hopefully be enabled sometime next week.

Hey! im having an issue i wish i could add IK to my custom character, it basically meets all of the requirements (All of the Limbs are named exactly the same as the ones of a blocky R15) no idea why it doesnt work.

[Fennecpaw (Fennec)]

I can’t to see custom rig support for this! I’ve been wanting inverse kinematics for some time now.

[JollySunbro6]

Looking at your joint list, they all appear to be at the same hierarchy level. Are you sure your Motor6D setup matches that of the default R15?

[Maximum_ADHD]

From the looks of things, the model doesn’t have any Motor6D joints assembling the rig together.

[VisionsInMyHead]

Yeah i used a plugin to rig it (It might be an old one)

i will give it another try

Moved this bug-report to the appropriate place:

Severe Animation Editor bugs related to IK mode

I know I’m reviving this topic, but I’d like to add onto the bug list: First of all, while animating (using IK), it tends to snap the model off-center constantly. [2019-03-31_14-36-45] I also found out that sometimes while clicking on a GUI button and moving the camera it tends to get stuck and will keep moving the way it was inputted to go. I’ve been stuck moving forward for a while. Workaround: Doing the same will resolve it, but you must be aware to release the mouse before moving the cam…

I would love to use this more…
I hope all this works good offline!
