Question

Walking doesn't work for me. Right profile view does not work

Hello. I was making my character and came across the following problem:

 

Under the puppet in "Rig" I have two groups. One group is called "Right Profile" and the other group is called "Left Profile". I have mirrored positions of the character, one looking right and one looking left. Under the walking behavior that I set in the top most layer that the two groups are below: I set the walking behavior to Left & Right arrow keys.

Under "views" there is just "Left Profile" that is showing up. When I try to walk my puppet, only the Left Profile will walk and it will show both the Left and Right Profile view on top of each other.

 

Thanks for your help in advanced. 🙂

Can you provide a screenshot of the rigging? (I would look for spelling errors in layer names.) 

Since you know its the right profile not working, I would look at what tags are on the Left Profile and Right Profile layers. I expect you will find there is a Left Profile tag but no Right Profile tag (or at least not in the correct spot).

That there is only Left Profile under views is the problem to fix. It cannot walk right without a right profile.

Here is two screenshots showing my rig:

 

I hope this helps. My work somehow reset when I tried to re-arrange the layers in Photoshop. "Left Profile" used to be under the group "Right Profile". I changed it since I hoped it would fix things but it didn't and lost my walking work. However, I want to try and get this switching of Profile Views to work first before I go into the effort of fixing my walking cycle again.

I can jump in here - as I've just spent several weeks making a whole set of puppets that have front, 3/4 and walk views (The Flat Pack)

 

You need to have your puppet name at the top level. Then your "Left Profile" and "Right Profile" views.

So your structure should look like;

+Puppet Name
   +Left Profile
   +Front View
   +Right Profile


Also - note the layer independence. I suspect you need to add the crown to your Left and Right profiles. Also, you don't seem to have both arms. You need a left arm in your right profile and a right arm in your left profile. If Character Animator can't find all the required handles (elbows, wrists, shoulders etc.) it won’t work.

Let us know if that helps?
