Hi All,

Hope everyone is well.

With the Blank character puppet I'm looking to add legs limb IK, so that he can walk, jump etc and be of use in the fabulous new Motion Library.

Under the body tab it just stops at pants. Is there a simple way I can add right and left legs, plus feet rigging under the body tab so that he can move please.

Screenshot attached.

Thank you

To add legs, you would need to break up the pants layer into left leg and right leg and so on, which might be more work than you want to do to the puppet. Fortunately, there are some puppets that are already rigged for the motion library here: Motion Library (Beta) (adobe.com)

Thanks for your response, much appreciated as always.
Ah right okay, the only thing is I already created characters using the basic puppet long before all this added cool stuff happened and wanted to transfer the leg limbs onto them.

I do not remember how the Blank character is broken down, whether you can easily break down the pants layer into the separate legs or not. But assuming not, then you'll have to do just that, creating layers for each leg and foot. Then it's a relatively straight-forward process to rig the legs.
