The preview mode binds the rigs together so that whatever is played on the source rig is re-targeted live through the retarget rig and overrides all the Rig controls on the current character rig (and can only be played at the origin). The re-targeted animation needs to be baked into the Rigify controls to be usable. The preview mode is there to quickly preview and tweak the animations before Baking them into actions specifically for that character's Rigify rig.

But also there should be no foot sliding, especially if the animation being re-targeted is for the character itself.



This is the original animation played over the top of the re-targeted to rigify result, which should be almost exactly the same.
(The blue armature is the original fbx import and both body meshes are overlayed in wireframe.)

It could be that the source armature you're re-targeting from and the source action must match exactly, otherwise the proportions will be wrong.

Thanks,
I ran my tests with some imotions from some old project possiblity with sources scaled to different sizes , as well as being Mixamo converted etc.

I will test some fresh imotions directly from the included IC7 Content with the base CC avatars.

I've seen that there is a problem with shorter than normal body for riging. I've imported a child mesh from CC and immediately applied Apply-> All Transforms and then went for Rigify riging and it went correctly rigged. Then to impose previous actions stored from before I have  made all limbs in FK mode, otherwise the result will be deformed. I don't know if this process is right or wrong, only Victor.Soupday can tell us about it.

Don't apply transforms on the source rigs, you're changing the relative scaling between the armature and the animations and they need to remain the same.

The rigging process is done in world space and so is at 1.0 scale anyway. You can apply transforms on the mesh objects after the rigging if you want, but avoid doing it before.

Edit: and yes, the actions are FK.

No, it´s not related to that.

You sure about that? Because it looks like the exact problem I put in fixes for a while back:



The problem being: Random walk Subsurface scattering blends in way too much darkness and the refractive Iris materials needed brightening up.

Are you using an older version of the add-on that doesn't have these fixes?

Hi, folks. Why am I getting these black eyes in Cycles? The materials are there, but when rendered the iris is barely visible. I am using the default settings for eye refraction.

Too much subsurface for Cycles. Rebuild the materials for cycles in the Character settings panel.

No, it´s not related to that.

Yes, I was doing that. I´ve updated to the last version of the plugin, with Blender 3.0, and after some back and forth, I´ve concluded that for whatever reasons, the Rebuild Materials button is not working for me.

But if I reimport the model from scratch, with the correct options marked, the materials work OK.
