Disable Inherit Rotation per animation

Sharpleaf

I'd like to be able to "key" the Inherit Rotation.
I have animations that someone else has made for us, but they didn't disable inherit rotation on the legs and feet. Instead, they tried to key in "opposite" rotations to the ones being inherited. The only problem is that I can't make it perfect, and so during an "idle" animation, the feet kind of bob up and down. If I go to setup mode and disable the inherit rotation box on the bones and then go back in to animation mode and delete the keyed animations on the problem bones, then everything looks good.
Except, all of the OTHER animations (death, attack, walk) look goofy because those ones need to have the rotation inherited.

So, is there a way to disable inherited rotation on select animations?

Thanks!

Not possible atm, I doubt it would be possible via code either. 🙁

In Spine v3 the inherit properties are no longer there. Instead we will be using constraints which can be animated by keying the weight.
This means that bones you do not want to inherit rotation are placed outside the hierarchy. But constraints will allow you to make them follow other bones.
This approach will open up a lot of possibilities.

look, this whole new ik system, you guys tell me its good, its going to be great. But I just don't understand the words that come out of your mouth sometimes. 🙁 Im the one In my work that will have to teach the artists, im the one who sets the guide lines. and all I ever read about this new IK system is some fancy schmancy spiel that takes me atleast 2-3 reeds before I understand it. :punch: :smoke:
