How to set rig to its default pose?

[Anonymous]

I recieved a character with a rig, and I need set the rig to its default pose. How do I do that?

Any suggestions?

Also, I might solve the issue by FREEZING all the rig control values, but when I try to do that I get an error that the joints are attached or binded to a mesh.

Thanks for any input.

Have you tried selecting the rig and using the Skin->Go to Bind Pose command?

Thank you so much for the reply. I just tried that and I get an error:

"unable to determine shape for transform masters"

Sorry that didn't work! It may be that you won't be able to reset that rig...unless someone else has any ideas.

In human IK hit the Stance pose button and it will reset.

as long as all the controls original values were 000 000 111 

you can select them all ( hopefully your rig has a way to do that) 

you can then used Modify | Reset Transformations

 but this will only affect TranslateRotateScale

so any custom channels you'll probably have to reset with a script. 

you can use mel  loop :

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;

for ($object in $sel)

{

string $channels[] =`listAttr -k $object`;

for ($channel in $channels)

     setAttr   ($object + "." + $channel) ` getAttr -dv  ( $object + "." + $channel)`;

}

I wrote this on the fly in here, so there is a possibility of bugs. but it should give you the basic idea
