Retargeting to a skeleton with proportions different from original

[neelima-karanam]

Hello there,

I was experimenting with retargeting the motion of one skeleton to another with different proportions in Maya 2010. I have tried the various options to see which (if any) would provide a good mapping. However, with every option I tried, one problem persisted,i.e., the feet sliding. I was mapping data from a taller skeleton to a shorter one. Any tips on getting good retargeting results in Maya? Are there any fundamental rules to follow? Or could I be missing something else where (besides the options available directly in the retargeting options window)?

Thanks,
Neelima Karanam.

No your not missing anything the skeleton that works on angles and the translates may or may not align up after this so you wopuld need to manually compensate.
