BlazeFox & RigRanger
You ever think a city wall could sing? I wanna rig a noise layer that syncs with my tags, but the setup has to be bullet‑proof. Got any tricks to keep the rig from going haywire?
Yeah, the city wall would sound great if you only keep the bones in line. First, lock every control you’re using into a dedicated null—no stray keyframes. Second, use a driven key on the audio’s volume to drive a time‑based expression that reads the tags, but add a small dampening factor so the jitter doesn’t explode. Third, bake the expression into a separate layer before you hit render; that way the main comp stays clean. And finally, if the rig crashes twice in a row, you’re probably cursed—reset the cache, rename the files, and pray you don’t see the red ‘crash’ icon again.
