This is my take on two improved methods for animation retarget of Synty Polygon characters using the information found in AngelV and Jobutsu Videos.

TC Mabe makes outstanding videos for people who use Synt, ALS, Ascent and more. Definitely worth checking out. I have learned most of what I know about retargeting from him.
