Modifying universal behaviors

Universal behaviors are actions or stimuli that interact with our rig based on what tags were applied. Using the previous example, we have a handle set to interact with physics. We can adjust the physics so that every handle marked Physics will react, and this applies to other tags and behaviors as well.

Another nice thing is we can change universal behaviors in real time while recording, which allows us to refine and tweak the effect to our liking. Let’s look at this now:

1. Click on the Record tab.
2. Click once on the CHAZ rig, which is located at the bottom of the timeline.
3. On the right, you will see the Properties panel. Under that, the heading Puppet Track Behaviors is listed.

Physics is a subcategory under this panel. Click the arrow next to the heading to expand and see the options. There are many options...
