Hello folks, got a bit of a puzzle here. I have a winged character and I'm using expressions tied to a NULL to control the unfolding/flapping of the wings, there are no problems with this as such, however layout doesn't update in real-time and I have to move the scrub to see where the wings have moved to - slightly annoying. In the exaple I've been looking at from Jonny Gordens Cartoon Character books, he has a similar control for splaying fingers howver his does update without needing to move the scrub. i can see no decernable difference between the set-ups both in terms of the expression controls and the layout settings and both characters have roughly the same poly count.... any ideas? (I had the same problem when I was working on my Bruce and Jackie characters and ended up abandoning the control system)
