Can't Figure Out Why Full Body Tracking for my Puppet Won't Work

Hello,

I have been trying to get my puppet to do full body tracking for the longest time!

I feel like we've tried everything. The upper body and face tracks just fine, but the lower body will not track at all.

Can someone please help with this?

The main issue was that the puppet had duplicate Body and Limb IK behaviors. A set of Body+IK was attached at the top layer and the "Puppet" layer. The behaviors at the "Puppet" layer took over the top ones, and any settings to the top-level Body and IK behaviors were ignored.

The solution was to remove the top-level Body and IK behaviors and set the lower body "Tracked Handles" checkboxes on the Body[Puppet]. I also added the Motion Library at the "Puppet" layer to confirm the full-body movement.
