Scaling Motion Bone (New for v4.0)

Each time you apply a motion to a character, Cartoon Animator will calculate the difference of the bone sizes between the character and the motion bone data of the motion clip; and then auto-scale the motion bones accordingly.

The auto-scaling ensures the correctness of the motion for different size of characters.

However, you can still manually re-scale the motion bone for different purposes.

  2. Apply the motion to another character with different size, the motion bone will be auto-scaled and the result can be unsatisfying.

  7. The displacement for each bone can be changed in the ratio of the value.
