Getting back a figure's Constraints.

Hi I'm using K4 as the character in a long series of images.
Somehow or other I have clicked on a pose and stupidly selected the rh button in the pop up window which negates the restraints.
Now I have Mr elastic man.
I wonder if there was anyway of resetting his constraints again?.
In case you wondered, I have the use constraints button 'on'. (the one next to collision detection.)
thanks in advance :)!

I haven't figure it out. Can you reset the figure in the figure's general tab? What about reloading the figure and re-applying the pose?
ahh I am not sure, I think I would have to reset all the joints?
I have the figure saved but it's a complicated scene and he is a relative size to other elements that must be kept consistent throughout the work, just hope there is an easy way :)
I know in the General tab for the figure, there's a Zero Pose and a Zero figure. I had just assumed the Zero figure reset it to it's factory settings, so I don't know if your morphs would be lost. Maybe try it in another scene to see if it works first.
Maybe it would work if you checked the Translation/Rotation Min/Max options (under Constraint in the Motion tab) and set the values manually? When I have pose trouble, that's where I go first....
thanks evil and salem
I'll go and have a fiddle (like nero) and try out those suggestions :)
okay I have had my fiddle :)
Rome burnt down :)
the zero pose and the zero figure didn't bring the constraints back unfortunately,
Salem, oh it could be two big a job to set all the mins and max but thank you for the suggestion. I better go and hunt down my spare and hope he hasn't been screwed up as well
trouble is I have no idea how it happened, I've been doing this too long maybe :)
maybe convert all you have done pose wise to nla clips,
save the universal shader if unique
then delete K4 and load a new one
add the nla clips back and shaders
(I often do this on figures I mess up)
ah thanks Wendy :)
it sound like a good idea actually,
Let you into a secret :) I haven't used NLA clips for a few years. I better go and swat up on them ;)
