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.
