I am using the Eliza 3 view puppet and I am using position based mode for her walking. Normally whenever you use her and she stops walking, she flips to looking left. However, When I put in keyframes for walking she keeps looking right. So it looks like she's looking off the edge. Of course if i have flip it and have her ealk to the left she looks left.... Is there are way to make sure she defaults to looking one way??
The first part I showed how she walks with arrow keys. You can see how she snaps into position. Then I show you the position based I did and how she just faces the edge no matter which side I have her walk to....
Hmm, I'm trying to reproduce it here with Eliza and I can't...it's weird that in the video it seems inconsistent, where sometimes she stops looking left and others right with keyframes. The looking right shouldn't happen AFAIK - it should always default to whatever your "standing" left/right view is. The only reason it should look right is if it thinks the character is moving right - so I wonder if there is something happening behind the scenes that is making CH think Eliza is moving right during those parts? Hmmm.
Thank you for you reply!!!! I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused, although I am very new to Character animator. Since you didn't know, I just deleted the walking completely, since I didn't get that far, and now it works..... I am using it to deliver training so I am excited to really work on it now!
I found out why!! So when I am trying to make her stay in one place I put two points close to each other so that she is not moving for awhile and then quickly move from one to the other. If I put the value to the right side she faces right, If I put it to the left side she faces left. I know that sounds confusing but hopefully it makes sense as well.
