FAQ/Help

• Error: When turning on physics you might receive an error message of "Autophysics: Interval length for selected center of mass is less than 3 frames."This is because the layer that has the center of mass object only has one keyframe on it. To fix this error either move the center of mass to the body layer or set a keyframe at the end of the animation.
• UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte. Currently the best fix for this error is to change your window's settings to allow UTF-8 for universal language support. This can be in Windows Settings → Time & language → Language & region → Administrative language settings → Change system locale.
• 'utf-8' error going between Maya and Cascadeur, please run Maya in administrative mode.
