Loving the possibilities of the new body tracking feature!
I have a full-body puppet I've been using for awhile. I added the Body behavior and tagged everything the way Dave demonstrated in his latest video. In other words, arms have wrists and elbows, with sticks, but the shoulder tag is on the body. Legs have heels and knees (it's a cow that walks on two legs, so no ankles or toes), but the hips are tagged on the body as well.
I can arm the following handles with no issues: Left/Right Wrist, Left/Right Elbow, Left/Right Heel, Left/Right Knee. However, as soon as I arm anything that's tagged on the body (Neck, Shoulders, Hips) the puppet literally flys off the screen. (It's actually pretty funny LOL). The more body tags that are armed, the faster she flys.
I also tried moving those tags (Neck, Shoulders, Hips) to the head, arms and legs as I would have done previously. This solved the problem of the entire puppet flying away, but as Dave predicted, the limbs and head didn't stay attached to the body very well.
The arms and legs are all independent, with Attach Styles of Hinge, although I also tried Weld and Hinge with various hilarious but unhelpful results.
Normally, this puppet has various swap sets (head turns, frontal, left and right bodies, clothing, etc.) but for the purposes of troubleshooting this I removed all the complicated extras and I'm just using the frontal body and front-facing head. I will attach the puppet in case anyone wants to give it a try and see if they have different results or any suggestions. I tried attaching the puppet,but the system rejected both the .puppet file and a .zip version. Let me know how I can get it to you if anyone is interested.
Sorry this got so long. Congratulations to anyone who managed to read to the end!
