Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Not finding 'retargetingLimbLabel' proc

Hey, not sure why this is not working, should a be a simple enough procedure to add some retargeting labels to joints..


Code:
proc retargetSkels(){

	// Joint retargeting labelling
	select "*Root_*"; // wildcard
	retargetingLimbLabel "Root";

	select -r "*LegR_*";
	retargetingSideLabel "Right";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Leg";

	select -r "*LegL_*";
	retargetingSideLabel "Left";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Leg";

	select -r "*Chest_*";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Spine";

	select -r "*Neck_*";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Neck";
	
	select -r "*Head_*";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Head";
	
	select -r "*CollarR_*";
	retargetingSideLabel "Right";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Arm";
	
	select -r "*CollarL_*";
	retargetingSideLabel "Left";
	retargetingLimbLabel "Arm";
}
But I get this error..

// Error: line 213: Cannot find procedure "retargetingLimbLabel". //

However this command was copied and pasted from the script editor through echo all commands.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Chris

Check the exact circumstances under which it was echoed to the script editor. It's a lot like copying sections of code from the internet and expecting them to work :headbang: .
I can't offer further assistance as I have no idea what it should do user added image .

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

The problem is that, that is the exact text used, well what you do is select a joint and then to transfer animation on to it via retargeting you need to have then skeleton's 'retargeting joints' the same.

As you can see the wildcard selections are just selecting a joint at a time, then the second part is exactly what comes up in the script editor if you have echo all commands on when you manually select a joint and do the command through the Maya UI.

Turns out I have to run 'source ChaSkeletonsMenu' before running other pieces of code that use the retargeting stuff.

Chris

EDIT: Yay can get away with running the window command...

'ChaSkeletonsMenu MayaWindow|mainSkeletonsMenu;'

Which appears to act as sourcing the script.

Cheers
