How can I create a rear view of my character? (Workaround)

While it's currently not possible to turn a character so it faces the back of the scene (180 degrees), it's possible to use the following workaround to obtain a similar result. Check out the video below: 

 

Detailed steps are outlined below: 

1) Open the Characters tab in the Content Panel and select a character.

5) Match the shapes color to the colors in the character using the Eyedropper tool.

Note: For better results, we recommend using static poses or simple actions (where the character doesn't move much).
