-iPi Studio has integrated motion transfer technology. You can import your character into iPi Studio via “File->Import Target Character” menu item and your motion will be transferred to your character. You may need to assign bone mappings on the “Export” tab for motion transfer to work correctly. You can save your motion transfer profile to XML file for future use. iPi Studio has pre-configured motion transfer profiles for many popular rigs (see below).
