My body rotates even though I pinned the feet to the ground

I assume you mean pins on the body. If you can include a screen shot of the rigging hierarchy that would help a lot! It’s normally pins being put on the wrong layer. So click on the layer with the pins in too please!

On the second image, see the number 1 on the side view layer? What is that? Note - hidden layers still affect the puppet. You have to delete them to have no effect. (Save artwork file first!) Also note they are not under Uncle.

If you want profiles, I would insert them under Uncle early on. Adding a Front Profile layer under Uncle later will lose all the rigging. So if you are not sure, insert the Front profile layer just in case To save later rework of tagging.

It is helpful to get a screenshot of the rigging hierarchy of the puppet showing the head, body, etc layers, where the crowns are. Then click on the layer you put the pins on so the yellow outline is visible and screenshot That.

The normal reason is the pins are not on the direct child of the puppet root, so the pins are attaching the feet to a parent layer, not the ground. This is just a guess however.

Hi Jack, I'm starting with Character Animator and I've been having the exact same problem for two days already, I can't get past it. Did you ever resolve the issue? Thank you.

Don’t have access to my computer to check the puppet until later, but you have independent legs then put pins on the legs - that will pin the legs relative to the body (not stop the character from moving). If you need the legs to be independent, try putting the pin on the body.

If you really want the pin to be near the feet (which would make complete sense) but must have the legs independent, you can do things like put a hidden layer rectangle to join the body down to near the feet and pin that. Imagine a puppet on a stand - the stand is clear plastic and fixed to the ground, allowing the puppet arms and legs complete movement.
