Hello,
I ran into a bug using chain_02 for fingers, just want to report it.
mGear version 4.3.0
Maya 2024
Rotating the wrist will also rotate the chain’s “*_0_loc”, giving a double transform.
The issue might be related to how the locators are constrained:
Thank you,
Paul
What’s the difference between these chains in your guides? Why is the pinky different?
If it worked for the other fingers, then this might be a settings issue in your component settings.
If it’s a bug, then that question would still help to recreate the problem and find what caused it.
Hi Chris,
The pinky is using chain_02 and the other fingers are using chain_01 for comparison.
I believe the settings for chain_02 (to aim at children and mirror L to R) will give the same break seen in the gif regardless.
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks! I missed the point in your screenshot that it meant the component names. I get it now. 
(This isn’t version 5 though.)
Hello,
After looking into this a bit, I found that if I insert a multMatrix before the decomposeMatrix node, multiplying the existing plug with the locator’s parentInverseMatrix, the double rotation should be fixed (with or without ‘aim at child’ setting.)
result:
Hope this helps with debugging.
Thanks,
Paul
