An example of an animation transfer and editing process that was created to train juniors in the process of mocap motion editing in Maya using human IK. Also showcasing use of effectors and object interactions.

A tutorial demonstrating the use of a Pivot Effector on foot in Human IK (Maya) to reduce toes' sliding during a pushup exercise animation, improving retargeting stability and maintaining the overall integrity of the original motion while minimizing data loss and positional drift during the transfer.

A tutorial showcasing character and prop interaction, in this case a rearview mirror, demonstrating how animation is transferred to the bone hierarchy using locators for transfer.

A tutorial demonstrating the use of a Pivot Effector in Human IK (Maya) to reduce hip sliding during a crunch exercise animation, improving retargeting stability and maintaining the overall integrity of the original motion while minimizing data loss and positional drift during the transfer.

A tutorial showcasing blendshapes' transfer between characters or hierarchies, within Human IK in Maya for skeletal animation retargeting.

In a Human IK system, an Aux Effector (Auxiliary Effector) is an additional control used to refine and stabilize how a character’s body part interacts with an object beyond what the main effector provides; for example, when a character is holding a phone, the hand effector positions the hand on the phone, but an Aux Effector helps maintain a consistent and realistic relationship between the hand and the phone by preserving contact, preventing slipping or drifting as the phone moves, and allowing subtle adjustments to wrist and grip alignment so the hand stays convincingly attached and properly aligned throughout the animation.
