Smoothly going from ragdoll to animator animation

So I am trying to do something not to overly complicated but can't seem to get the last step down.

Write now I can use the animator and character joints to go from an animation to ragdoll and back to animation.

The problem is the last step ragdoll -> animation has no smoothness whats so ever. I believe the problem comes from running stopping the animator and restarting it. When it restarts it seems to refresh bone positions,

I have tried using layers and masks. Setting the animator to a empty state on a mask with zero bones activated and setting the weights on the actual animation layers to 0.

any suggestions or is this just an animator issue?

some of the code after messing with masks

Code (CSharp):

1.  if(!ragActive && !standingBackUp) //
2.         {
3.             anim.SetLayerWeight(0, 0);
4.             anim.SetLayerWeight(1, 100);
5.             foreach (Rigidbody bodies in GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody>())
6.             {
7.                 bodies.isKinematic= true;
8.             }
9.             foreach (Collider coll in GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>())
10.             {
11.                 coll.isTrigger = true;
12.             }
13.             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C))
14.             anim.CrossFade("creature1Idle", 0.5f);
15.         }
16.         else if(ragActive && !standingBackUp)
17.         {
18.             if (!timerGoing)
19.             //{ StartCoroutine("Restand"); }
20.             anim.SetLayerWeight(0, 0);
21.             anim.SetLayerWeight(1, 0);
22.            
23.             foreach (Rigidbody bodies in GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody>())
24.             {
25.                 bodies.isKinematic = false;
26.             }
27.             foreach (Collider coll in GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>())
28.             {
29.                 coll.isTrigger = false;
30.             }
31.         }

 

Code that works expect for the going back to idle part, where it jerks. Which i still feel like is a problem with the animator.enable = true/false

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(!ragActive && !standingBackUp) //
2.         {
3.             anim.enabled = true;
4.             foreach (Rigidbody bodies in GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody>())
5.             {
6.                 bodies.isKinematic= true;
7.             }
8.             foreach (Collider coll in GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>())
9.             {
10.                 coll.isTrigger = true;
11.             }
12.             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C)) { }
13.            anim.CrossFade("creature1Idle", 0.5f);
14.         }
15.         else if(ragActive && !standingBackUp)
16.         {
17.  
18.             anim.enabled = false;
19.            
20.             if (!timerGoing)
21.             { StartCoroutine("Restand"); }
22.            
23.             foreach (Rigidbody bodies in GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody>())
24.             {
25.                 bodies.isKinematic = false;
26.             }
27.             foreach (Collider coll in GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>())
28.             {
29.                 coll.isTrigger = false;
30.             }
31.         }

 

well, I finally figured it out, guess I need to keep track of each bones properties, and lerp it the desired animation properties. I feel like there should have been an easier way to do it, but thanks to this http://perttuh.blogspot.fi/2013/10/unity-mecanim-and-ragdolls.html, i was able to figure out what I was missing.
