Director's mode is not something I often use. I usually create most of my story though the editor's mode. I wanted to use the director's mode recently and the character would not move ( I pressed the W key with a Dylan Character) at all. I have used director's mode in the past . So I am familiar with how to operate it.

Also...

When I attempted to use the right click menu to perform an action an error comes up which says "Iclone command error adding "perform" comand - The same error comes up with a the right click menu "move" command as well.

F.Y.I.

I have been to the forum, checkedthe help menu, checked Iclone common questions to problems and etc...nothing listed in any of these areas relating to a similar problem.

It's not a major concern of mind - but if it is supposed to work - I would like to have it work.

Any response would be appreciated - Thank-you.

Thanks for taking the time...

It sounds like something is glitched with the character/avatar. Add a different avatar to the scene, as a test, and see if that new avatar works properly.

If not, save your non-working Dylan avatar as a custom model. Then, start up a blank scene, put that avatar in it and see if director mode will work.

This will narrow down where the problem is - just the one avatar, the scene, or all avatars in any scene.

Thank-you so much gnasche for taking the time to answer my question. After applying your thoughts - I first put in the animme man character and it worked -  I was so Happy but then.... I then individually tried Benny, Trey, the Dragon and next the Aribian horse.....all of which would not move in the director's mode -or  using any of hot keys and lastly for all when I attempted to use a right click menu anything used an error would come up....again the director's mode is not something I normally use - I would just like to have it available should I have a need in the future......I don't know what the problem is they all worked before.....

Thanks for taking the time...

Hi,

If the Director Mode used to work for you then it might be worth uninstalling the software and then do a fresh install. This should fix any problems that may have occured with your installation.

If after doing this the problem still exists then you should contact Technical Support for further assistance. They will be able to offer you some things to try to help resolve this issue.

Well, I am still where I was on the 8th - I did a complete un-install and the reinstall (boy that was fun) Upon reinstalling the program - I tested the problem areas and they worked fine after the normal install and after the installation of the first patch - only after the 2nd patch install -  that everything went wacky. I Emailed tech support on the 9th - it is now the 16th - I don't believe I will be hearing from them - if they haven't answered me by now....This was the 2nd communicate I have send Reallusion and did not get a response - the 1st one was about how does some one go about getting certified in iclone.....I see the page for it but no further instructions. reallusion is either really busy in which case I understand or they are losing touch with their client base - I hope it is not the latter.

If anyone has any suggestions on the first issue - that is the director's mode is not working and a way to resolve it - I would appreciate it. - thanks for the help so far....

Thanks for taking the time...

Just a thought...Do you have something actually selected, such as a character you plan to manipulate, before entering Director Mode?

Thanks for the question - Yea---I have used directors mode before - so I am familar with how it works--F.Y.I....-I  used it during the re-install process and it seemed to have worked after the original install and after again the 1st patch install - it was only after the 2nd patch - (director's mode) appears that my problem begins....Thanks for the question though...

Thanks for taking the time...

Just so you know 8/15/2011 - director's mode still does not work - I truly wish I knew why not... because every now and again it would make my job easier.

Thanks for taking the time...

Apologies -the above won't quote.

A common prob re; Command Error is that you're inadvertently at the end of your Timescale & haven't returned to the Start.Happens here when I forget & I've seen it Posted byothers.

Select 18,000 Frames anyway, to give you extra leeway.

Posting  Screenshots might help others to resolve it.
