Matahuman Guide IK / FK Hand axis doesn't match the guide orient before build

[Wolfyrig]

Hello guys,
I’ve looked around in the forum and i haven’t seen this , or i think

We are using the défault Epic Metahuman Template Y UP, with EpiC Metahuman Snap
The guide are well oriented with the same axis of the metahuman bone hand
.
But after the build of the template, the IK and FK are slightly offsseted from 20° from the original axis of the bone and guide.

Wich i think it shouldn’b be ?!

is there a original settings that we are missing, or it’s by default?
Is there any solution? Because it’s hard to animate with it.

Thank you

Can confirm recreating this issue, getting similar offset when building a metahuman Y up template with the snap option.

Hello! I am checking that and other issues found on the metahuman template. It should be fixed in the new mGear release

Thanks for looking into it! I’ve noticed the same thing happens to the foot joint orientation with the EPIC_leg_02.

Hello @wasp0r
I have been checking this, and I don’t think it is a bug, but a lack of clarity in what the blade does.
Please check the video and let me know your thoughts

Added clarity on the setting description:

Thank you for the clarification - I’m not currently generating the skeleton through the guide, I already have the skeleton in the scene before building the components, as I already have a metahuman skeleton with a skinned mesh in the scene. With this approach, I don’t think the blade does anything to solve my issues with the hand and leg orientations. Currently, my work-around is to straighten the legs and rotate the wrists joints ~22.5 degrees along the X axis prior to building the rig.

As you can see, the controls generated doesn’t line up with the default metahuman skeleton conventions (as this is a mesh & skeleton directly from the Metahuman Creator), which results in these odd rotation angles regardless of blade adjustments:

If this is intended behavior, fair enough - I’ll probably try to adjust the component’s construction code to account for this discrepancy. Let me know if you require a file to test with!
