hello cgtalkers.

I have a little question.

I'm trying to duplicate the following group so that I can play with it on it's own, but whichever duplicate mode I use (input connections, input graph,unique children), the new group doesn't work like the old one.

Somehow something breaks when I duplicate, and I have to start from scratch if I want to create a similar-behaving group.

the file is here if you want to a help poor me =) !

Does it work if you recreate the IK on the duplicate? I'm not sure, i've had this happen before too, and I think I just had to recreate the IK solver.

nope; still haven-t figured out a clean way to do it yet.

I will try to take a closer look at the hypergraph, see what happens.

Let us know when/if you do find out, it's something i'd like to know too. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.
