Hey ATR,

I did that, it's the rotation of the feet that's creating penetrations to
the ground. Currently I'm manually fixing it, it'd be much faster to
automate the process.

Kim,

Reposition in the Animation Mixer wouldn't work. Setting the offsets will
just offset the animation but not the actual rotations of the feet
penetration.

Hey ATR,

 

I did that, it’s the rotation of the feet that’s
creating penetrations to the ground.  Currently I’m manually fixing
it,
it’d be much faster to automate the process.
