Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

Tronz;171394:

First time using this rigging tool, so far its been really great, with some really powerful tools to help both rigging/animation alike!

My first character rig went mostly without a hitch. One issue I have found is my foot controls(toe_tip_ctrl/heel_ctrl/toe_wiggle_ctrl) are sitting far off in space compared to the mesh/other rig parts after importing the rig to start animating.
I quickly tried a default/proxy geo rig, and the foot controls were fine on that one.
Am I suppose to move those foot controls during the setup stage?
My only thought is my characters feet are rather small, so I had to move the controls close to each other. I also created a ball joint, but no toes.

Any help would be much appreciated
(The new ART update is looking amazing , I cant wait to start using ART on more than bipeds)

Hello! and very sorry for the late reply. It’s been very busy at Epic lately working on our game projects and I sadly got too caught up to remember to come check the forums. Apologies.

In the skeleton placement phase, when you have the joint mover controls, on the foot are 4 spheres that determine the foot pivots for the rig.

And thanks for the kind words. Let me know if that works for you!
