Accidentally Deleted Smart Bone

Post by Yosemite Sam »

Hey guys,

So I created a Smart Bone for the shadow under the chin of a character. I use actions for lipsyncing, and was using this Smart Bone to animate the shadow under the chin with the mouth movements.

So all of a sudden I noticed the chin shadow Smart Bone was gone!

But the animation was still there.

And the smart bone name was still in the Actions panel.

So I created a new smart bone and named it the same and set it up.

It connected to the actions, but I still have NO Keyframes.

I need to shift the keyframes for the chin shadow over, but they are not present.

Hope I'm explaining myself clearly enough.

Anyone know what I could do to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Hey,

its just an Idea, but maybe you didn´t delete your bone (as you still have the Animation), maybe you just shied it?

Click:
Bones
Hide /Show Shy Bones

Hope that helps...

Thank you so much. Amateur mistake on my behalf. The shy bone didn't work, but showing all bones revealed it. I should have thought about that, but I honestly don't remember ever hiding it. I generally only hide dynamic bones and such, anyway, thanks again!
