How can "ghosts" be cleared out of a scene?
I am speaking of technical ghosts, here. (This is what I have termed it as the best way to describe the issue.)
I have a scene from 3 years ago. It has no props in it, only plants and people.
And weird things happen in it.
* Weird things never happened in it back then. But they do now when I pull the scene up.
The only difference with this scene as compared to the others:
In the scene I rendered 3 years ago in it:
I also used billboards for crowd people, and a few older CC characters as well.
And it would be whatever iClone 7 version that was out 3 years ago.
Therefore, the older iClone 7 scene was re-opened after the last iClone 7 updates.
So the issue would likely be in one of those that brought in some "ghosts" to leave behind:
That is, either old billboards, older characters, or an older iClone 7 version opened up the new one.
ALL of our work has been in iClone 7, nothing before and nothing after.
* All previous characters and billboards I deleted to start the new scene, of course.
The new characters had to be doubled in size.
And the last time I tried transferring one of the new characters to CC and back again - or even straight from the CC file into iClone, it stripped all of his skin color out, leaving a pasty white.
So something is left behind in the old scene - whether it was something in the older characters or billboards, or something in that iClone version, that it does not work properly anymore.
I have been noticing invisible technical issues for a while now.
Another example would be animations going where there is no clip there anymore in that place of the timeline.
This happens when there was a clip there, but I cut it up and moved it around, etc.
(I once had a flock of sheep look like they were tripping out on acid or something! This was from animation ghosts left behind.)
So how do I go about getting rid of ghosts left in the scenes or in the animations?
* Regarding the animations, "removing object animation" is not an option when I work so hard on the rest of it.
First and foremost, I need the scenes to work right. How do I clear the "ghosts" in there?
