how to move the pivot point of a sub-puppet?

[ibat]

Hi,

first of all, I really like the concept of live "motion tracked" cut-out animation (however I think it would be even more great if you would provide the possibility of animating by key frames one day as well). Unfortunately, I got stuck when it came to attaching the sub-puppets by triple tapping. How can I change the pivot points, to control the rotation base of my sub character? As long as they are not attached I can change the pivot, but once it is part of the main character it is locked. Do I miss something?

All the best

P.s.:
Another question: Is it possible to have a character (i.e. a body) with an sub character (i.e. an arm) that has another sub character (i. e. a hand)? I can attache the arm to the body or the hand to the arm but didn't manage to attache hand to arm and arm to the body.

By the way, I'm using photo puppet HD on an iPad.

Hi Elke,

re the pivot point change - currently it is possible only via detaching the "sub-puppet" ie. a hand, via the triple tap, and then attaching again. Please note that the pivot point of the attached sub-puppet will be in the exact place that you triple-tap.

re "sub-sub-puppets". Currently it is possible only to have one "root" puppet and then multiple sub-puppets attached to it. This will be improved in the future!

Best regards,
Piotr
