Switchin Models

[ʙᴇɴɢɪᴇ]

I don't know how to switch a human model (recorded) into a robot model. I am planning on making a robot attack film, but I don't want to have to do the animation for each model. How do i switch the recorded model into a robot?

You could record then try something like this...

Well, I did try it, but the robot just stood in the reference pose, it did react to the movements the charater did, but just did it in the reference pose, not standing correct.

That would mean only the constraints on the pelvis bone worked, you need to make sure to apply a rotation constraint on all the important joints.

If the joints (bones) are not named the same, you have to match them the best you can. Also, if the joints (bones) are in different positions, your model may warp a bit, depending on how much difference there is.
