Let's test the Motion Puppet on Gwynn in an empty scene so we can focus on how the Motion Puppet works without any distractions:
1. Create a new blank project. Select the Actor tab then click on the Avatar button.
2. Double-click on the G5 Gwynn character, located in the G5 character folder, to load her into the workspace.
3. Click on the Home button on the top toolbar to bring her closer to the camera.
4. Select the Gwynn character, then select the Animation tab and click on the Motion button.
5. Click on the Motion Puppet button to invoke the Motion Puppet dialog.
6. Click on the 02_Natural Female motion. Click on the Preview button and watch the motion for a few seconds to preview it.
7. Now click on the Mouse Control tab in the upper-right side of the dialog, then click the Preview button and press the Spacebar to preview. The character's movements are controlled by our mouse movement and within the confines of the character's chosen movements.
8. Click on the Slider Control tab to deactivate the Mouse Control mode.
9. Make sure the Gwynn character is selected and right-click, then choose Remove All Animation from the menu.
10. Select the Gwynn character and click the Motion Puppet button to open the dialog again.
11. Click on the 02_Natural pose again and this time click the Record button, then press the Spacebar to record. Record 3 to 5 seconds of this motion.
12. Now select 02_Sexy motion. Press the Record button then the Spacebar to record a few seconds of this new motion.
13. Save the project. Return the time scrubber to the first frame and play the project.
