Using Lazy Mouse for Smooth Puppet Trails

Motion Pilot primarily utilizes the mouse cursor or a pen tablet to control the movement of a target object. However, there are instances when it's challenging to maintain steady control, especially with the mouse cursor, resulting in jiggling puppet trails. Lazy Mouse addresses this issue by introducing a distance offset between the cursor and the actual offsets, enhancing the smoothness of puppet trails and facilitating a more fluid creative process.

1. Create a scene and an object for puppetry.
   
2. Make sure the object is selected and enter the Motion Pilot mode.
3. Drag the X and Y sliders to determine the sensitivity for puppetry (1.0 to 1.1 for best results).
   
4. Click the Puppet Settings gear icon.
   
5. Set the Lazy Mouse to 1.
   
6. Click the Record button and press the Spacebar to start recording.
   
7. Close the Motion Pilot panel and select the object. As you can see the object's transform path turns out to be jiggling and unsteady.
   
8. Open the Motion Pilot and the Puppet Settings panel again. Set the Lazy Mouse to 32.
9. Press down the Record button and hit the space key to start recording again.
   
10. Close the Motion Pilot panel and select the object. As you can see the object's transform path is smoother and more steady.
