[HELP] Pose Library not working properly

Support Animation and Rigging
1

Hey there,

So I highlighted some face bones and moved them into position in Blender, and then saved the Pose using the “Create Pose Asset” button.

However, in the Pose Library Tab (N Menu):

  1. Right Click > “Select Pose Bones” is Not actually selecting any bones whatsoever, and I’m not sure why:

  1. Also, same thing: Right Click > “Apply Pose”, or just clicking the Left Mouse Button, neither actually change the mouth bones / rig at all. (I seem to recall that you need to actually select the bones that you want to move before moving

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I feel like this should be super easy, and I’m just missing something simple.

Please please help me out!!! :slight_smile:

Here is the file for reference:

Hey guys, I know it’s only been about a week since I posted this HELP request, but can someone please give a dog a bone? :slight_smile:

I would really appreciate some help!

Looks like you have a null shapekey pointer. If you changed blender versions this may be the cause. Essentially your shape keys get deleted.

I was having some issues too with my pose library. I’m not sure why it happens, but I have a theory the poses saved in a previous versions work only when you are in the exact Frame you were when you saved the pose (sounds bonkers, I know)

I’ve come to the conclusion that the best way to avoid these problems is to save the poses from the Timeline, side panel, instead of “Create Pose Asset” choose “Copy Pose Asset”, then in the Assets Browser go to Asset → Paste as New Asset
If I do it this way it never fails. I feel like this way it saves the pose for ‘every frame’.

You can probably rescue the poses by opening the old file where they worked and making a new pose with the “Copy Pose Asset Method”. That’s what I did and it worked for me :upside_down_face:

I hope this helps!
