Piero Custom Bone Shapes & Rig Mirroring: Duerer's Progress

I've mirrored Piero's wing bones and the "Spline Curve" for the "Arm Spline Mechanism Bones" and adapted everything so far as 24:14 in the video but the right wing is looking good only in "Edit Mode":

In "Pose Mode" it's still looking chaotic:

    Do I see it right that a correctly mirrored bone does have the same "Roll Value" as its counterpart from the other side, just with the opposite sign (for example 5° => - 5°)?

    "Bone Rolls" and "Arm IK Pole Angle" of the right wing corrected:

    Some drivers on Piero's right side had to be corrected:

    Not yet 100% working but getting closer.

    My finished rig here:

    There seems to be a broken "Driver", but I can't find it in the rig:

    duerer remove the word var from the Expression field and type in var and the Error is resolved:

    I have absolutely no idea why that works.

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Thanks, spikeyxxx! The error message disappears but reappears as soon as I click on "Update Denpendencies".  Furthermore, the red line under "pose.bones["CTRL_armSpline.001"].constraints["Copy Rotation.001"].influence" in the "Drivers List" on the left side of the image above stays. It refers to a bone "CTRL_armSpline.001" which no longer exists (as far as I can see) because it's one of the bones which are either on the left or the right side of the rig and therefore have been renamed with a suffix ".L" or ".R" using Blender's renaming functions.

    Right, that is way too complicated for me :) Too bad it didn't work.

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    If I turn on the visibility for all bones and bone layers and search for the pattern "CTRL_armSpline.001", I only get "CTRL_armSpline.001.L" and "CTRL_armSpline.001.R". It seems that somehow this "Driver" data block marked with the red line in your screenshot above "survived" the renaming and is now useless.  "CTRL_armSpline.001.L" and "CTRL_armSpline.001.R" by the way don't have any constraints or drivers. I'll delete this broken driver and test the rig afterwards.
