Scaling Motion Bone

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.

ClosedScaling Motion Bone
  1. Create a motion as shown below:
  2. Apply the motion to another character with different size, the motion bone will be auto-scaled and the result can be unsatisfying.
  3. Select the character.
  4. Open timeline and right click on the motion clip, choose the Motion Retargeting command on the Context Menu.
  5. Optionally activate or deactivate the Align to Motion Bone Pose box.
  6. Adjust the Scale Motion Bone slider (make sure the sliders in the Select Part group are deactivated).
  7. The displacement for each bone can be changed in the ratio of the value.
  8. Playback and the character will perform ideally.
