Yes.  Can't retarget the character.  To far off into production to go back.
I've fixed the problem, I just went ahead and did it manually.  Was just
asking for future reference for a faster solution.  When I have spare time,
probably gonna try and figure out a script to do something decent.

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.
