I have attached a project to this post that contains the bottom half of a rig. The rig is essentially the same biped rig from Joe Cosmans rigging video.
The problem is when I rotate the "Man_ArchL" on Heading the bone "Man_ToeL" flips around and points in the wrong direction. There is an expression set up to drive the heading for "Man_ToeL" using the heading from "Man_ArchL". This rig worked under version 4 but does not work in version 5.
The problem can be recreated like this:
1. Start Messiah 5
2. Load the project
3. Middle click on "Man_ArchL".
4. Rotate the Heading.
You will notice the bone "Man_ArchL" does rotate and ""Man_ToeL" does follow the heading as expected, but the bone "Man_ArchL" jumps into a position pointing straight up in the Y axis. If you try to rotate the Pitch of "Man_ArchL" to correct for the weird pop in the bone, the bone "Man_ToeL" flips round 180 degrees.
I know this worked in version 4. I went over Joes video numerous times to check myself. I even loaded his scenes to see if it was me or something else. Eveytime the result was the same.
Anyone else getting weird problems like this?
Thanks,
