Play the result animation.

  1. Click Play in the Transport Controls (A) to play the animation.

    A. Gremlin using Mia’s animation B. Gremlin’s Control rig

    Notice how both the Servo arm and the animation are transferred onto the Gremlin character (A). The Gremlin’s original Control rig is left in the middle of the scene (B). This happens because you selected Replace Control Rig in the Load Character Animation Options dialog box. Gremlin’s Control rig has been replaced by Mia’s.

  2. In the Scene browser, expand Control Rigs and right-click Gremlin Rig (Gremlin’s original Control rig) and select Delete to clean up the scene.

    Scene browser: A. Contextual menu Delete option

Summary

In this tutorial you retargeted animation from one characterized character to another and you transferred the Character Extension from the source character to the target character.

In the next tutorial, (Editing Character Animation), you edit animation on a layer from your original animation, then merge all layers.
