No animation key but object moves

[zelalkat]

Hi, i encounter this problem quite a lot. It gets solved when i close the maya and reopen. But everytime i have to close the whole project and it is frustrating. 

Basically: the controllers has no keys but the character moves randomly. 

In the first screenshot below, i have selected all of the controllers in the scene. as you can see there are no keys after 19 in timeline

but as you can see image below,  the foot moves in between 19-25 

• I check everything in the scene, there are no keys after 19 and my curves end flat. 
• this gets better when i close the program and reopen, but it happens again randomly after a while
• This random movement is not exported when i export the animation as an fbx.
• This happens in two different versions of maya, right now i am using 2022
  
  
• A friend of mine uses blender, i told him to use maya for the animation. he had the same problem, send me a video, i told him to close the maya and reopen, his problem was fixed. so this is not something that only happens to me 
  
  Please help!

Hi!

This could be a problem with Evaluation mode.

Change Preferences>Animation>Evaluation Mode to "DG" and check if that solves the problem. Some rigs just don't work in Parallel evaluation, which can cause controllers to wrongly calculate their position.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Would I be able to have  a copy of your rig for testing?

If the rig is not evaluated correctly with Parallel evaluation, it's something we would like to investigate.

Rather than posting here, I can send you my email address.  Let me know.

Regards,

Kelly
