How can I setup the Figgy puppet for Motion Library

[voyagerwon]

Hi all. I'm currently using the Figgy puppet maker template, and I love the simple design, but can't figure out how to make it useable along with the Motion Library. I've tried adding Body, Limb IK, and Motion Library to the behaviors, but the character doesn't move at all.

Can anyone offer some guidance?

Minimal work needed to make Figgy work with Motion Library:

1. Go to the Rig mode and select the Stick Person layer

2. Delete all handles tagged "Fixed"

3. In Limb IK, select "Arms and Legs" from the "Apply to" option

4. Add Motion Library behavior at this Stick Person layer

5. Have fun in the Record mode making Figgy dance 🙂

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I'll try this first thing tomorrow. Can't wait! 🙂

Any idea how to do the same with the side view legs instead?

The legs in the side views are already rigged so you can make them appear by explicitly triggering them.

In the Rig Mode, on the "Legs" layer, right-click and select "Create Swap Set." You should now see a "Legs" swap set in the Triggers panel. 

Then in the Record mode, you can double-click on the created triggers or assign keys to the triggers and press those keys to show the legs in the side views.
