Hi, I downloaded the IntroToRigging files from the Beginner Tutorials but the motion library is not working on all chracters. The motion library is not working at the  03_sidesample although I aded the motion library to the same layer at the rig mode with the body and the limb ik. It does work on the 15_body tracking. Thak you. (i have the latest version 2023 22.5 )

Because "Intro to Rigging" is structured to start simple and gradually add on more rigging components, the earlier simple ones are more challenging to complete the full-body rigging required for Motion Library. I recommend going through the rigging part of OkaySamurai's Motion Library tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTevkEadskk&t=1091s

 

To be specific about what is missing with this 03_sidesample, here are the absolutely mandatory steps:

  1. Add handles and tag them with body tags (Neck, Waist, Left/Right Wrists, Elbows, Shoulders, Hips, Knees, Heels, and Toes)
  2. Make "Left Leg" and "Right Leg" layers crowned (independent)
  3. Adjust the positioning of "Left Arm," "Right Arm," "Left Leg," and "Right Leg" layer origins
  4. Add Limb IK, Body, and Motion Library behaviors

 

Additionally, for a better-looking result, you will want to

  1. Put stick handles through rigid parts of arms, legs, and feet
  2. Limb IK: uncheck "Auto Arm Bend" and check "Reverse Arm Bend Left" (as this is a strictly left-facing character)
  3. Adjust Motion Library's orientation

 

Here is my version for your reference: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/8c95f8cf-25d8-4a54-45db-fa7b4ebe4e6f

Good luck!
