Troubleshooting
CloudRig implements a Generation Log, which shows a list of potential issues detected during the rig generation process. Each time you re-generate the rig, this list is re-populated. Ideally, you want to keep this list completely empty.
If rig generation fails, you will also find the error message here, along with a Bug Report button.
Many issues will have a button to let you fix them as quick as possible.
Feel free to submit suggestions for issues that this system currently doesn't detect.
Bone Naming
Certain bone naming conventions are reserved for CloudRig's generation process. Please follow these guidelines to issues that may be difficult to troubleshoot:
- For all Chain component types, incrementing bone names should always correspond to parent/child relationships. For example, "Bone2" must be the child of "Bone1". Bones that are named like this should not be siblings, or unrelated to each other.
- Identify left/right sides with ".L/.R" suffix rather than anything else.
- There should be no other dot-separated suffix besides this.
- Avoid .00x bone name suffixes.
- Avoid prefixes that are used by CloudRig: "DEF-", "ORG-", "STR-", and more. These are only allowed in the metarig in the case of a Bone Tweak component.
