Automatically set up a retarget

Shogun Post 1.8 and later reduces the time required to set up a robust character retarget by providing default constraints that you can use as they are, or modify to suit your particular needs. You may find this particularly useful if you are new to retargeting with Shogun Post, or if you need to copy an existing constraint setup to multiple different retargeting skeletons.

If you are using a version of Shogun Post earlier than 1.8, or if you want to use a wholly manual process for your retargeting setup, see Manually set up a retarget.

However, to set up a retarget automatically follow the steps outlined in, Set up a retarget using default constraints.

After you have set up a retarget, you may need to set up another retarget for a similar set of skeletons. This may be from a different actor to the same target skeleton, or a target skeleton which is similar, but has a different scale or proportions. For more information on reusing this setup, see Set up a retarget based on an existing setup.
