Finally, I was able to control the mannequin in the editor. However, I can’t control the lower body at all. It works ok between the head and the pelvis, but doesn’t work between the thigh and the foot at all.
What am I missing?
What kind of info should I submit to figure it out?
Hi there,
What do you mean not working?
Perhaps you’re using IK mode, which makes the feet follow the control position, so if you lower the pelvis, both feet will stay in place. In FK mode, feet will pass through the floor when you lower the pelvis control.

Hi, LFA.
I don’t clearly understand what you said. I even have no idea how I enter IK mode and FK mode.
Thus, I attach more screenshots for referral.
Hi there,
If you’re using the control rig that comes with the TPS template, here is the info regarding IK/FK modes. Just find and drop the CR_Mannequin_Body into your scene. That will also create a level sequence to record your animations. Open global_ctrl and find the check boxes to switch between Forwards Kinematic and Inverse Kinematics (default).
If you select the body control (hexagon shape), and drop the pelvis, your character will squat because both leg_l_fk_ik_swith and leg_r_fk_ik_swith are checked, meaning leg IK is activated, while arms IK is deactivated by default.

Hi, LFA.
Thanks so much. I found the solution. When I controlled the feet, it worked. It was tricky to notice it because of the range of the click point. But this method still has a problem as I still can’t control the knee.
I’ll give it a shot.
Have a nice day!

Hi there, great to know you figure that out. For the knees, look for blue/red spheres in front of each knee. These controls adjust knee position. Same for elbows.
