APEX | SceneAnimate <Mirror Pose Feb. 25, 2026, 4:39 a.m.

Hello,
i have some trouble to get the scene_animate mirror tool to work. I attached a clip from the behavior.

how do I have to setup up the controls so they can be mirrored correct? right now they switch places
I first thought it failed cause I put the controls inside subnets, but I tried several different methods, but with no effect.
naming conventions (L_*, R_*)seems to be ok but, who am I to say :/ . at least I found not yet where to adjust.

I attached the test file as well if someone wants to have a quick look

thank You for Your time
Martin

procedurally rename bone names in VEX Jan. 26, 2026, 7:02 a.m.

Hi, if Your input naming is very consistent You can use a wrangle or vop to insert this:
string elems [];
elems = re_split("_", s@name);
insert(elems, 3, "Insert"); // This inserts "Insert" at the 3 place in Your string
s@name = join(elems, "_");

to what entity do You connect Your rig.
I tried to connect the output parameter of the "Attribute Config Control" to the graph and it connected somehow, but did not work.
You have to connect to the control group instead, then it works.
