Can't record simulation

Help
1

Blender version: 3.6.8
Ragdoll Dynamics version: 2024.04.09

Everything works fine until I hit Record Simulation. My character is standing still but has all the keyframes. I looked at the F-Curves and they are practically flat.
I tried using the addon with the simple sphere object and got the same result.

P. S. also when I hit Snap to Simulation it gives me this message: “Ragdoll: This version of Ragdoll is newer than your AUP”

Hey @Zack, welcome to the forums :partying_face:

Did you already have a licence for Ragdoll with Maya? The message would indicate that the licence you have included updates 1 year into the future, but this Blender release is past that date hence you would need to renew your Annual Upgrade Program to benefit from newer releases.

See here for pricing options.

It’s also possible the checking algorithm messed up, in which case reach out to me via marcus@ragdolldynamics.com with your serial and I’ll see what we can do.

No, I’m using the trial version

Then this is a bug, thanks for reporting this. I’ll try and get a new version out on Monday. Till then, you can use the previous version.

See how to upgrade here.

Thank you, this version works great!

New version is up! Thanks again for reporting this @Zack

@marcus just tried the new version, but still got the same bug

Oh lord. Could you post a screenshot of your licence UI? It’s the bottom item in the Ragdoll menu.

Thanks, this looks correct.

And if you:

  1. Make a cube
  2. Assign to this cube
  3. Record

Then the cube ends up not having any keyframes? Do you see the message about AUP when you attempt to record?

The cube does have keyframes, but it’s not moving. there’s no animation, the f-curves are flat. I only see the AUP message when I use Snap to Simulation

Sorry about this, having another go at this tomorrow morning. :woman_factory_worker: Thanks for your patience.

hi thanks for a great addon for blender,
I ve installed 4.1 and the v20240523 from the webside along the ragdoll_core. But just after 1 -4 simulations, it stop working- message like" interrupted after 0.8 sec"-
is there a kind of limitation with this addon?

Hi @lage_opedal, welcome to the forums! :partying_face:

Yes, the trial version is limited to 100 frames of recorded simulation. See our pricing for options.

Unless you are seeing something else? Do you mean recording stops after 100 frames, or that the simulation stops? Does it stop playback? Can you describe the steps taken to get to the error you are seeing? Can you include a screenshot?

thanks for swift reply Marcus, ok I guess its the limited 100 frames causing it. I had to restart blender to make the simulation work again, but its only one time simulation, then its back to “interrupted…”.
The ragdoll is really impressive, so of course I am interested to buy a license. Do I understand for non commercial the price is 99 dollar? and can I not use it when i am offline? I could organize it, so that I could activate online somewhere, but I am depended to use offline, since I dont have internet at home…

Hm, this sounds like it could be another bug, investigating now.

That’s right, for individual users, there’s Ragdoll Personal:

And Ragdoll Freelancer:

There is no requirement for being online while using Ragdoll, only when activating. For studio licences, there is also the option of activating offline, for a full offline experience.

I’ll get back to you about the bug above.
