KineFx-Mixamo rigs with mocap Feb. 1, 2022, 1:38 a.m.

Hey,

I have this issue where I'm using a mixamo fbx and try to apply custom mocap. I know I can have an fullbody IK solver however I think I should just be able to apply the FK animation from one skeleton to another yet I failed at it.
I tried FK transfer since they both share the same bone names and hierarchy and I don't see any change which makes me think I did something wrong.
I did notice that bone axis are quite different between the two rest poses, see below. The blue skeleton comes from my mixamo character and the white one is the custom mocap.
Has anybody done something like this?

Is there a way to test for file path existence Oct. 16, 2021, 1:17 a.m.

I have all the components needed as attributes however I can't find the "attribute wrangler" of tops.
TOPs use Python, where its easy to test for file existence

you can use Python Script TOP of Filter By Expression TOP for per workitem scripts, or Python Processor TOP for more complex logic

Thanks Tomas, I'll give that a try.

Hey there,

I'm trying to build a PDG network to convert textures however I'm having a bit of trouble on testing if the output file already exists. I'd like to do that so that only new textures are converted and the old ones are skipped.
