Having trouble baking constraints in Maya

AGoodFella

Hey,

Another project, another issue.

I have a walk in one file with the hands constrained to a prop that is resting on the shoulder. I also have another walk in another file with the hands constrained to a prop with anim layers. I need to merge these into one file.

I can't bake everything down. Baking the IK hands screws it up. Merging the anim layers messes the anim up. Everytime I do any baking, something messes up.

I used ZVParent to constrain the hands. I can provide screenshots if necessary.

Update: I managed to find some solutions but one still remains. When trying to bake the IK handles down, they screw up and break. No idea why. Both hands hands are constrained to a prop, they should bake out fine.
