Why does my avatar always move backward before following a path?  How do I fix this?  I also have a problem with an avatar entering a room, having a conversation and then leaving the room in a smooth transition. Thanks for your help.  Here is a picture of what I am talking about and a video showing it in action.   https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/44a96d31-5ee3-4e19-a57b-7157.jpg

We've been talking about this over in the Icone thread here... https://forum.reallusion.com/506094/Character-reverts-back-to-origin-point-when-released-from-path

There is a bug that was introduced a little while back to iClone Path's and it's not fixed but 4u2' has a workaround that might work for you... although I could never get it to work for me but it's probably just me I'm afraid :)

I usually just attach a dummy object to the path and then Link my avatar to the dummy. I do a Motion Puppet walk for the avatar and then move the dummy along the path to match the "gate & distance traveled" of the avatar's walk. I
t ain't perfect but it works till they get it fixed which I think they will at least in the next version.
