Biped mirroring problems

poopinmymouth

In structure mode, or in animation mode, I can't get the foot bones to be perfect mirrors. This ruins my ability to mirror weights in the skin modifier.

If I go into left ortho view, I can clearly see the feet are not in the same position. However if I select the entire chain from upper leg down, copy pose, and paste opposite, nothing changes. I tried making an entirely new biped, and I still get this problem. I'm using meters as my unit, so I can export to Torque, but other than that, everything is exactly the same as all the other times when I've had no problem.

Anyone had this happen, and better yet, know how to fix it?

Not sure... but in blender when something like this happens its because you need to recalculate the bones roll (CTRL+N in edit mode). Maybe something similar?

Try copy POSTURE, rather than copy POSE.

Also, maybe your hips or spine were twisted.

Yes you need to select the bones needed and copy posture, then paste opposite. copy pose copies the ENTIRE skeleton... when you paste opposite, you are just flipping your offsets from left foot to right foot.

I misspoke, I've been copying posture, but it just won't paste it symmetrically.

Also the bip01 isn't rotated, or off center. All the other bones are perfectly aligned.

Did you first make a copy collection with just the bones selected that you want to copy? It's that little icon that looks like a sun.

Seems to work fine for me, just tried it out...
