I am retargeting an animation using the IK retargeter. We have resized the character to about 80% of the previous version. The old animation is of a character going down an elevator. I have adjusted the Pelvis in the OP stack so that the Scale Vertical is 1.25, and have adjusted the offset. However, when I do, as the elevator goes down, the feet don’t remain in the same position. It’s mostly there, but I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the offset mid-animation, like key a value for the offset at one point, then key it at a new point so it better sticks to the new animation. Any advice?
You can’t do this with Retargeter. You would need to do this with Control Rig if you want to modify the pose live.
It sounds like your scale adjustment is causing your animation to be at a different point because of the translation scaling that happens. A smaller character won’t move the full distance like a larger one. Blend to Source Translation can help by moving the pelvis to the same location, but then you’ll have foot sliding that you’ll need to fix.
