How to rig body turns

[jlc80]

I have created head turns on my character. I need the character to do a quarter turn as well. Should I build seperate puppets with a quarter turn or in same puppet. How do you do body turns in a puppet? Is that possible? I want a perspectives to have my same head turns. Can anyone help?

The new body tracking system supports body turns like you describe. The bad news is that they have to be done in exactly the same manner as the head turns.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

Thanks for your help Dave. If you set up frontal, right and left quarter bodies can you control by keyboard or triggers as opposed to using the body tracker camera? Does that make sense?

Yep! If you didn't include the head & body turner and just put those poses into a swap set, you could trigger them manually instead.
