Hi, I want my animations to continue from where animation 1 stopped and make animation 2 start from that point. Is this possible? I have rest, walk, and run animation and i dont want them to snap to eachother when switching state. I know i can solve this by adding animations that looks like transitions between this but it become alot of animations to go from each animation to all animations

#

Thought maybe there is a smart way to solve that

@hallow plover make an additive layer for each animated part.

#

a question...

#

for general HUMAN ANIMATION I can use mixamo.com

#

but what about animations for guns?

#

like reloading / shooting / sprinting

#

do I have to make them?

#

or is there a website like mixamo.com for guns animation?

young mulch Feb 5, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

I'm not sure man. they'd have to come with the models as guns are very different than a typical humanoid skeleton

#

so you'd buy assets that include them or do it yourself

#

from my understanding

#

Has anyone encountered this: My multi-mesh SkinRendered enemy doesn't properly transition animation. HOWEVER - if I clone him before he tried to transition, the clone works perfectly. Any advice on what I should look into?

Yo can I get some help? I imported one of my 3D models as an FBX into my Unity3D project, and it works fine for the most part, but there is a part in the anim where the characters winks. To do this, I just scaled the eye-object in a way that made it look like it was winking. However, when I import it into Unity, it doesn't animation. It keeps it's position and moves with the model, but it doesn't change its scale.

#

What I want to do is to just animate it using the unity animation panel, but changing the scale for the object doesnt work, even when I copy all of the key frames into a writable anim. Any ideas?

#

I think it has something to do with the fact that it is a "Skinned Mesh Renderer"I bet something about that means I can't edit it.

#

But thats just an idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

young mulch Feb 5, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

hey

#

I had a similar problem literally fixed today

#

look at your armature

#

esp Root. any rotation on it?

#

try setting all rotations to 0 just in case

#

my root was at 90 rotation, so it was messing up some animation. that fixed it. I also have skinned mesh renderers.

#

ah, damn sorry, I skimmed and just gave answer to a diff problem. Was too excited. My bad.

@weary hare my phone can't play your video, but it might be due to keyframe reduction.

One of the things IK can do is help minimize the foot jiggle

I've got an issue with animating something:
The player has a whip attack, but the IK FABRIK Solver 2D isn't making the whip bend, it's just a straight stick pointing in the direction where the controlling point for the IK Solver is. I could be wrong in assuming it's because it's a child object of a prefab that also uses an IK Solver but I could be wrong.

Hey, so up until now, my character has been a "Capsule" while I add more important features to my game. I think I'm ready to add a character and work on movement and animations.
I know almost nothing about adding character models and animating them, so where would be the best place to learn more about this, or where should I start? 🙂 Thanks!

hybrid tinsel Feb 7, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

@balmy scarab The built in FABRIK will always do a straight line if the target is farther than it can reach. If you want it to bend use the CCD solver and lower the 'velocity.'

#

The FABRIK solver has no velocity setting so it will always go all the way to pointing at the target and will only bend if the target is too close.

I hope i can word this question correctly but - In Blender, can i create a general skeleton map to create animations with that can then implemented to multiple humanoid models so all those models have the same animations?

hybrid tinsel Feb 7, 2021, 3:33 AM

@tranquil pulsar No idea, but if you use a humanoid skeletal structure unity recognizes then it can remap animations.

Hey all. I've recently gotten models in my project that will need animation, and I'm starting to research what a workflow would look like. My models are in Maya, and have pretty decent rigs there. So, I'm thinking it makes sense to do most animations in Maya and export them. I see that I can do all the animations on a big timeline, and then enter all the time ranges to split it up in Unity's importer - but this seems high maintenance and hard to maintain. The other option seems to be having copies of the model file, with a subset of animations in each. Do I have these right? Are there other thoughts on the pros and cons of each?

#

Secondarily, how does one generally approach animating multiple characters together in a scene? Would you import them all into a scene in Maya, animate each there, then export everyone's individual animations then try to reassemble them into the scene in Unity? Sorta seems like that kinda thing would be more straight forward to do in Unity to start with, but I'm again unsure if it's better to give up the use of the Maya rig for everyone.

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 2:34 AM

#

Using a humanoid rig, you can share the same animation across many models and avoid re-animating each model to do the same thing

#

There is no quick and easy way to get all the animations you need, it takes a lot of work and effort, but this lessens the load a bit

#

Im jelous you have Maya, I am stuck using blender due to cost restrictions

#

Id start by researching the Unity humanoid rig on learn.unity

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

Well, I have Maya LT 🙂 It's a LOT cheaper and does the job so far 🙂

#

SUre, I'm aware of retargetting. That makes sense for stuff like generic walk cycles.

#

But, basically I'm looking for high-level workflow, what do people do? Like, how do you manage your assets efficiently if you have a single character with 20, 30, 40 etc animations unique to them?

#

One model with all of them and a spreadsheet to keep track of the division? 50 model files each with one animation? A hybrid? Something else entirely?

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

Re-importing a model with new animations is a big pain with blender as there isnt a good integration with unity

#

But you can set Maya and Unity to sync

#

So you can have one model and animate away, lucky duck

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

Are you referring to when Unity would launch Maya and auto-export from .ma files? That support was removed awhile ago

#

Maya itself has a file->Send to Unity command, but that's still just an FBX export. I don't THINK there's any magic animation syncing unless I've missed something

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

Nah, you can point Unity to a Maya FBX file, and click "re-import" and you can add the new changes without tweaking all the old stuff again

#

So you can just re-export maya to the same FBX file over and over

#

For blender we have to import it completely fresh, and tweak everything again from scratch

#

Its a real pain

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

Oh,ok, yeah, I reexport the FBX all the time, don't have to do anything more

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 3:26 AM

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

That's weird that it doesn't work that way with Blender though; why not? Maya isn't involved in the import operation

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 3:27 AM

#

Not sure, but its never worked with Blender FBX files

#

Dont know why, just the what

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

But, even so, if you have say, 10 animations and you decide you need some more frames in the 5th one, that shifts all the rest no? I supposed you could build each one with padding to try and avoid that..

static verge Feb 10, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

Well with Maya you dont need to worry about any of that

#

Id keep building on the same model, if it was me

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

Why not? I still have to manually tell Unity which animation starts and ends where don't I?

meager drum Feb 10, 2021, 3:30 AM

#

I mean, I'm new at animation in Maya so it's VERY possible I've missed something, but I don't think you can define seperate animations in Maya either. So I don't see how it wouldn't still be manual in Unity

There are some tuturials on making the Maya <-> unity sync on Youtube or learn.unity

Oh you are working on the Material

#

Hmm ive never attempted a material animation either 🤔

#

Unity componants dont always talk to one another, so you can hit walls like this

open fog Feb 11, 2021, 1:21 AM

#

What would the alternative be?

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 1:22 AM

#

Ah yes I was already cranking my wheels on that, I was thinking you could create a InvokeRepeting method that changes the color via renderer.material.SetColor(~Color stuff~),

#

And you call that InvokeRepeting when you want the effect to play

#

Would that work for your use case?

#

You could also lerp the color change

#

🙏

#

I bless this mess, the animator and material doesnt talk acording to the documentation

open fog Feb 11, 2021, 1:27 AM

Thank you for the empathy. Umm, so i'm trying to create a world for vrchat, so i think i'm limited to as what i can and can't do in order for it to work with the game. I will try doing your method and see if it'll work. As stated before, i'm a complete newbie with unity, so do you mind walking me through on how to do it? Or if there's a video you can link me that shows me?

'''
private void OnEnable()
{
InvokeRepeating("UpdateMaterial", Mathf.Infinity, 1f);
}

private void UpdateMaterial()
{
    this.transform.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", Random.ColorHSV());
}

'''

#

This would update the color to a random color once a second for infinite time once an object is loaded

#

You can take it from there?

Anybody got 5 minutes?

#

How do you rig your weapons for games that lets you have more than one type?

#

For Ex. Swords, Spears, etc.

#

Do you just have a "Mount Point" parented to the hand or do you have the whole character rig on each weapon?

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 2:20 AM

#

I set the weapon as a child of the right hand end and left hand end bones

#

Then I just need to worry about rotation, and sometimes scale

#

When you switch weapons, delete the last child, instantiate the new one

#

Hope that helps

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

It does.

#

But what if I need to animate them? For particle effects or special moves? Like in fighting games?

#

Do you animate them straight on the character animation file or you make a separate one for these?

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 2:40 AM

#

I like to keep it in "real life simulation" territory

#

If the hand rotates, the weapon rotates with it

#

This doesnt require any code either as the weapon is a child of the hand

#

I dont really do any "exicters" with twirling weapons in the palm or anything tho or throwing a weapon in the air and catching it

#

Sometimes I make a weapon have an animation, and this you just tell the weapons animator to go

#

Do you have a usecase where both the weapon and the hand have seperate animations that have to work together?

#

Oh yeah, you can make a VFX partical effect, and set its spawning location on top of the weapon by making it a child of the weapon and doing the small ajustments to its position

#

Hope that helps?

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:13 AM

It does. Thanks a lot @static verge

I just wanted to have more or less an idea where to start

But if you want exciting lively animations with things flying everywhere, you are going to need to hit the textbooks and take some courses online E:

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

yeah

#

Well I guess I should've stayed 2d lol

#

Time to hit the books, like you said

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

I think is a misconception that 2d is nessisarily easier than 3d for animation

#

It all uses the same exact animator system

#

Your just getting rid of an axis, you still need all the same logic

#

And honestly, with all the amazing 3d content creation systems in unity, its a shame on missing out on what 3d has to offer

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

Aye, but at least in 2D you just have to "draw" everything you need

#

You want a fancy kung-fu punch with earth shattering animation and particles everywhere? Draw it.

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

Sculpting a 3D asset in ZBrush is easier for me then painting a sprite book

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:35 AM

#

With 3D I have to set up a rig, then set up the IK, weight the bones on the mesh, make sure it deforms correctly, then start animating. Now I want some fancy effects, like ghost trails or disappearing and reappearing somewhere else, you either have to script it or find a way to animate those.

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:36 AM

I feel like I undersold 3d 🤔

#

Well, if you run into roadblocks, feel free to ping back here

#

Speaking of kung fu, I am currently working on a use case that involves martial arts

#

Except this time my character uses a spear

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:38 AM

#

Ice and fire and lightning fists are easier to tackle by placing a VFX/Shiraken partical effect directly on the fist

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:38 AM

#

And it's some kind of wushu, magical fights and impossible feats

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:39 AM

#

Earth shattering I am approaching as instaniating rocks underground and animating them up and down and left and right

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:39 AM

#

What about the motion effects?

#

Trails on the kicks

#

multiple hands on the light-speed punches, etc

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:40 AM

#

🤔 I dont have that in the game design document, but I would approach that as a sprite book in a VFX graph with distorition effects

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

Right. That's what I was erring to

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

The user usually cant tell when you are using a 2d spritesheet in the 3d world once you apply distorition and blur

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

my main gripe was more or less the weapons. because I can't really animate them while they're not there

#

If I instantiate them at runtime

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

MoCap makes life easier in that aspect, you would MoCap while holding a wooden spoon sometimes

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

So if I want to make a sword animation, the sword itself won't be found in the animator

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

If you have many weapons for one character, they would be seperate animators, right

#

But if its one weapon = one character, you can do them together

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:44 AM

#

And just disable the mesh renderer when I don't have the weapon equipped

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:44 AM

#

Thats right

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:44 AM

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:45 AM

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:45 AM

thankfully my characters only use one kind of weapon each

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

Lucky!

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

so at least I'm good on that

#

except for that one character who is totally customizable

#

but I'm gonna cheat and say it copies styles so I can re-use the animations

#

one more thing

#

When you animate the weapon together with the mesh

#

Do you weigh the weapon itself to a bone?

#

What if in the future I want to change the model for the weapon? Wait I think for that I can just change the actual mesh in the mesh renderer

static verge Feb 11, 2021, 4:00 AM

#

That would work

#

It will take some fussing with

#

You add the weapon as a bone in this case

#

You trade off the humaniod generic-ness, but simplify the animation workflow

steep kelp Feb 11, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

right.

#

Alright

#

I think I'm good with all this.

I have an event on an animation that plays a sound, the event is triggered and the sound plays fine, but for some reason it's also playing right when I hit play and it's not supposed to. The animation the event is on isn't even running in the animator window at start, but the event fires anyway. Is there a reason for this I might be overlooking?

Nvm I'm dumb, found play on awake set on my audiosource

fossil igloo Feb 11, 2021, 8:36 AM

#

which one is better for change animation?
I would connect all animation together in Animator, then using code to change the parameters.
I notice some people just drag all animations into Animator then change is by
animPlayer.Play("female_move_run_jogging"); Or other animation string names, when you want to play it.
So they can jump to any animations they want.

As a beginner, I am a little confused.
I think to connect animations with transitions and change by a parameter is better.
Looks like animPlayer.Play("animation_string_name"); is the quickest and easiest way?

For walk, run, and idle I use a blend tree, and for emoters I use layers so you can blend them up

Sometimes its better to add transitions to other states from the movement blend tree, other times its easier to handle with Layers

In case someone else has the same issue. I sort of figured out the problem, it's somehow related to how I have my player character made in the Hierarchy. The object with the issue has one level higher of nested objects, that's the one called player. The one that works perfectly and allows me to animate the properties on the Capsule Collider, is the RPG-Character. Every component on the parent objects are identical, RPG-Character has an exact copy of every component on Player, along with their values. I don't get it, but this has fixed my issue.

        }

#

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 2:55 AM

Ah ok, you have it initialized from the start as true. Initialize it as false

stone nymph Feb 12, 2021, 2:56 AM

#

actually the private bool value doesnt have to do with it

#

either true or false fires it because of the condition

#

that is set to false

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:05 AM

#

I was able to get it to work by switching the ! around, like this:

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && isForward)
        {
            animator.SetBool("isForward", false);
            isForward = false;
        }
        else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && !isForward)
        {
            animator.SetBool("isForward", true);
            isForward = true;
        }

#

This toggles the isForward bool in the Animator

#

Is that what you were wanting to happen?

thats a step more yeah, i was also able to get it to work by switching the two patches of code, weirdly

now when i press w it actually goes forward. Now i am trying to understand how to get it back to an idle state 😄

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:14 AM

#

Use your transition, set one to go back to idle on the condition that isForward == false

stone nymph Feb 12, 2021, 3:14 AM

#

already tried it, but when i press w again it doesnt want to go idle

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:16 AM

#

So, from idle to forward, you would have the transition condition set to isForward == true. Then, to go back from forward to idle, you would have the transition condition set to isForward == false

stone nymph Feb 12, 2021, 3:16 AM

#

I have exactly that

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

Then, when you toggle with the W key, it should change. Also, make sure to disable the "Has Exit Time" option on the transition back to idle

stone nymph Feb 12, 2021, 3:18 AM

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:19 AM

stone nymph Feb 12, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

it stays on true

bronze gazelle Feb 12, 2021, 3:20 AM

That's the problem then, it's not being set back to false in your code.

I was hoping this code would start the animation then end it once you are no longer holding left click, but it doesn't. No errors except it keeps looping. ```Animator animator;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
    {
        Debug.Log("Swinging");
        animator.SetTrigger("swingSword");
    }

Set triggers are consumed by your Animator immediately when there is an available transition that uses them

It's very unusual to repeatedly set the trigger each frame

I would set the trigger once on Input.GetMouseButtonDown (which only happens the first frame your mouse goes down)

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

mhm

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

And then do whatever you need to do to transition out of that animation state in Input.GetMouseButtonUp

#

which happens exactly during the one frame in which you release the mouse button

#

what you need to do depends on how you set up your animator transitions

#

SO it might be another trigger

#

or the same trigger

#

or some other parameter

#

The key is to work with your animator state machine

#

not try to fight against it

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

Lmao, as u probs can tell this is my first time (if u couldn't, this is my first time animating lol) so half that just when over my head... lol

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

do you know what a state machine is

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

soo I am struggling to think how to implement the Input.GetMouseButtonUp into it, because it needs something like wait untill

#

no

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

indigo sparrow soo I am struggling to think how to implement the Input.GetMouseButtonUp into it...

It doesn't. The animator keeps track of state. You just need to note the mouse down event and the mouse up event

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

is it the entry thing?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

we should back up though

#

what's your goal

#

this "Swinging" animation

#

you want it to play once

#

or repeatedly?

#

as long as mouse is held

#

Ok so you probably want to use a boolean property on your animator instead of a trigger

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

Alright

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

you need two states in your animator: Swinging and Not Swinging

#

with transitions between the two in both directions

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

omg ok

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

the swinging state should transition to the not swinging state if the bool is false

#

the not swinging state should transition to the swinging state if the bool is true

#

that part you set up in the animator

#

create the two states

#

create transitions between them

#

and use the bool as a condition on the transitions

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

is idle and sword swing okay?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

yeah

#

so start should go straight to idle, and then you have the transitions back and forth

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

okay done?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

then in your code you just need like if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) animator.SetBool("Swinging", true);

#

and if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) animator.SetBool("Swinging", false);

#

(make sure you create the swinging parameter in the animator)

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

ahhh wait is this good?

📎 Is_this_good.PNG

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

yeap looks good

#

so click on the transitions

#

(the lines)

#

on each one make sure it is listening for the bool parameter to be the right value

#

So on the transition from Idle to Sword Swing - that should happen if the parameter is true

#

and vice versa for the other way

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:18 AM

#

okay

#

done

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:18 AM

#

Ok so - if possible, play your game and leave the animator window open

#

you can watch the State Machine playing while the game is running

#

you should see it transition between the states when you click and release the mouse

#

(even if the animation clips aren't hooked up yet)

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:19 AM

#

dang, I made it so that the game full(ish) screen how do I undo that?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:20 AM

#

On the Game window there's a Maximize On PLay toggle thing

#

turn it off

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:20 AM

#

can't find it

#

nevermind , forgot that you have to press play to find it oops

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:22 AM

#

🙂

#

So have you gotten it where you can see the state machine running while you play?

#

I promise you once you see it in action you will understand state machines immediately 😄

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:24 AM

#

okay the animation works when I click the box next to the swingSword Parameters, so I will go back and put the code u sent earlier (when I sent the screen shot)

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:24 AM

#

perfect

#

yeah that's a good way to debug the setup of your state machine

#

before putting it into code

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:25 AM

#

🙂

#

wait where does that code go?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:27 AM

#

#

lol

#

so get rid of the other stuff in the update?

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:28 AM

#

logically this is what the code does:
If the current frame is the frame during which the player pressed the mouse button down - start swinging the sword
If the current frame is the frame during which the player released the mouse button - stop swinging

#

yeah get rid of the other stuff

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:28 AM

Also is your animator hooked up with the correct Animation Controller?

#

and is the right animator hooked up to your script

indigo sparrow Feb 13, 2021, 5:35 AM

I forgot to get rid of things outside of the void update ```Animator animator;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()

```

quasi fable Feb 13, 2021, 5:36 AM

so is this part needed? animator = GetComponent<Animator>();?

is it possible there's like an extra space by accident in the name of the parameter in the animator?

so is is the animation's name or the parameter's?

Help...I have placed many little animated animals in my VR app with no issues until yesterday and it has me so stumped. It is a rat and came with 9 animations. The walking animation is in place so like the others, I animated a parent object that moves the rat at the same pace and time its legs move. Works great and looks legit. BUT, out of all the animals I placed, only this Rat moves backwards when I hit play. Selecting the Rat and hitting play in the animator for the move works as expected so I am unclear as to why Play mode is backwards. I assume the Rat has a root or similar orientation that is backwards from the norm? This is where I am stuck as I am not even sure where to look in this situation. What could cause this?

Hi everyone! Question here: I am creating a TPS game with Mixamo animations whose main character can be empty-handed or with rifle (maybe a sword too in the future). I am using layers to "split" the upper body and the legs so I can use the same walk/run/crouch/etc. animations despite the weapon carried, but I don't get a really smooth result. Has anyone tried to do something similar with Mixamo animations that may help me or give some advice? Sorry for bothering and thank you all!

Hey guys anyone here to answer a quick question?

oblique bobcat Feb 14, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

does anyone know an easy way to create walking animations in unity

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

hello guys

#

i know how to create legacy animations from script. how do i achieve the same with the mecanim animator?

#

im pushing the limits with the legacy system with my current implementation and i have reached the point where i need animation masks

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 9:55 PM

#

2d?

#

@vagrant atlas for 2d you need multiple layer for each body part you want to move, like i got one for legs and rest for upper body

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

youre talking about masks eh?

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

you set bottom layer additive with weight at 1

#

in 2d yeah

#

in 3d its avatar mask

#

its not really a mask but an additive layer

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 9:56 PM

#

the thing is: im a few steps behind

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 9:57 PM

#

so you can animate 2 thing at once

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 9:57 PM

#

first i wanna create animations from script

#

eventually i get to the masks but yet i have to create the animations

#

the docs show me how to do it manually with the editor, but i wanna do it at runtime (or have my own editor utility that converts from an external format)

#

there must be source code to import fbx animations, im sure. but i cant find it

#

that'd help me for creating my own editor utility

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 9:58 PM

#

so you want to dynamically load fbx at runtime and animate things with it

#

?

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

well, not fbx but a different file format

#

i got animations working already with legacy animation component

#

like so

var animationClip = new AnimationClip
{
    legacy = true,
    name = animSequence.Name,
    wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop
};
...
animationClip.SetCurve(treeName, typeof(Transform), "localRotation.x", rotationXCurve);

#

i can then play those clips on the animation component, but yet.. thats legacy

clear current Feb 14, 2021, 10:00 PM

#

I hope this is the correct place to ask? I want to create an animation clip with dialogue that require a button press after each line. can that be done with timeline?

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 10:06 PM

#

actually i dont think thats so legacy amazingturtle

#

thats how you create a animation clip

#

now you need to push it to the animation controller as override i think

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimatorOverrideController.html

#

you probably have category of clips you want to play, just predefine them in the animation controller then override them with your dynamic animationclip

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 10:07 PM

#

that looks good

#

clipOverrides["SingleAttack"] = ...

can i assign new clips like that?

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

yeah they got an example that do exactly that on the page

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

i created a little dummy script that seems to be a possible solution for me

            var animator = new Animator();
            var controller = (AnimatorController) animator.runtimeAnimatorController;
            controller.AddLayer("Root Layer");
            var layer = controller.layers[0];
            var state = layer.stateMachine.AddState("Root State");
            state.motion = new AnimationClip(); // todo..

if that doesnt work, ill fallback to the override

calm cliff Feb 14, 2021, 10:12 PM

#

you probably want both

#

override for your dynamic animation, and layer for your upper and lower body movement

vagrant atlas Feb 14, 2021, 10:18 PM

#

yeah things are going to be complicated

#

when i finished what im trying to do, ill probably be certified unit expert level 10 or something lol

Hi, can anybody tell me if it's possible to trigger an Animation on another animator when in a certain state?

If anybody is wondering why god why? I am using the Animator also as a state machine for my application. And it would be great if it could trigger animations on animators that just control themselves 🙂

vagrant atlas Feb 15, 2021, 12:17 PM

#

uhm yeah its possible with the animation behaviour scripts

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/StateMachineBehaviour.html

you'd use OnStateEnter to trigger when your animation starts on A, so that you can start the animation on B regularly

i set attack anim to true (left side)

then i set it to right (in case i do fast left-right attack sequence0

but right anim doesnt trigger

#

        if (armAction == 0)
        {
            int animatorValue = GetAnimatorValue(cameraPosition, armSide);
            animator.SetInteger("Attack", animatorValue);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.3f);

            if (animator.GetInteger("Attack") == animatorValue)
                animator.SetInteger("Attack", 0);

            float soundWaiting = animatorValue > 30 ? 0.425f : animatorValue > 10f ? 0.25f : 0.20f;
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(soundWaiting);
            Classes.sounds.Play(SoundType.WeaponWind);
        }

#

i think problem is with me setting it to 0

#

maybe i should make something like list of animations

#

so if theres 2 fast attacks at once you simply add to list, and change anim to that instead to 0

#

if theres no more atks then to 0

That isn't anything that I have done myself but some of the assets on the store do what you are wanting to do. I have this one: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/2d-customizable-character-female-115939

2D Customizable Character - Female | 2D Characters | Unity Asset Store

Elevate your workflow with the 2D Customizable Character - Female asset from Daniel Thomas. Find this & more Characters on the Unity Asset Store.

#

...and it looks like they create a bunch of nested empties, which have a sprite render at the bottom-most child...

#

📎 cc.png

#

...the sprites can be swapped at runtime, through a means I haven't studied. You might see if you can find a similar free asset and see how they are doing it.

#

Another thing you might look into is animation layers. They might work better in your situation.

cobalt phoenix Feb 16, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

Slight pet peeve of mine, maybe somebody here knows a little workaround.
Say there's an animation controller on a parent object with its own set of animations, and I want to create a new controller with its own animations on one of the children. If I select 'Create new clip' Unity just assumes I want to add an animation under the controller of the parent. The only way I've been able to prevent this is to remove the controller from the parent, create the new one on the child and add back the other one. Surely there's a better way to do this?

I have rigging problem

#

Can help me?

forest monolith Feb 16, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

are there any good resources for creating either skeleton animations or sprite sheets using vector graphics?

#

plenty of resources for skeletal animations or sprites with pngs

forest monolith Feb 16, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

do most games end up exporting the same sprite sheets at multiple resolutions?

hy all

#

i am making a weapon kit with multiple weapons parts so for the animation do i need the simple animation only or do i need to make to separate animation one with the simple one and one with reverse for exporting from blender to unity to have 2 animations on a single part weapon?i am new so if someone can help me

#

pm in privat if someone can help me out

does anyone know the best way to implement a little animation after landing a jump

vale coyote Feb 17, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

I have some odd behaviour that I don't quite understand. In an Animator if I make a Transition from Any State -> Rolling (as an example) and set No Exit Time, the animation for Rolling starts but is stuck at the first frame. If I set an Exit Time of 0.01 it works without a problem. Anyone know why that is?

elder yoke Feb 17, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

How can i make the Left Arm Skin part, appear on top of the weapon? Like it is holding the weapon on both sides.

I tried to change sorting layers and even z position of the arm bones, but when i do that, all the sprite change z position

Anyone know of an asset that I can use to record an animation that is playing in the scene. I want to create an animation sequence within mecanim, play that animation and then record it to it's own .anim or .fbx file. are there any assets that can do this?

quasi fable Feb 17, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

deep hazel Anyone know of an asset that I can use to record an animation that is playing in...

there's the GameObjectRecorder

#

maybe that will help

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Animations.GameObjectRecorder.html

#

but that just gives you another mecanim animation so maybe that's not what you want at all 😅

#

Maybe this? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.formats.fbx@2.0/manual/exporting.html#animation

deep hazel Feb 17, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

@quasi fable I'll look into that, thank you.

hybrid tinsel Feb 18, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

@Tokolosh#4317 you can add the animator and animation controllers to the child manually.

#

@deep hazel the unity recorder can be used for that.

#

The one on the asset store

crimson geyser Feb 18, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

How could I animate both selected things together as one, but different movements ofc

#

(yes im using unity to animate but i gotta know if they need to be 1 or 2 objects first)

hybrid tinsel Feb 18, 2021, 5:13 PM

#

@crimson geyser Either have them be separate objects in the same hierarchy, or rig it with bones.

crimson geyser Feb 18, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

I had the animator on the parent object but when I clicked to rotate the chick, it switched animations instead of letting me edit the same one

fringe lynx Feb 18, 2021, 8:06 PM

#

having an issue here. i downloaded some animations from mixamo and combined them all into a single blend file. this is what the animation looks like in blender:

#

smooth as can be, perfectly alined, everything working as expected

#

so i save that blend file into my unity folder, and it imports normally. in unity, i made a copy of the animation so i could set it to loop the animation, then dragged that animation into my animation controller.

#

but the animation does not look the same as it did in blender:

#

the body and feet are not aligned

#

can anyone help me figure this out?

#

with Apply Root Motion unchecked in the animator's inspector, it fixes my script that turns the player smoothly, but the animation is still messed up

crimson geyser Feb 18, 2021, 8:21 PM

#

I mean..it looks fine to me?

fringe lynx Feb 18, 2021, 8:21 PM

#

it's not

#

ill show you a better pov

#

what the fuck

#

ok

#

sorry, shadowplay was messing up

#

this is iso view from front during runtime

#

her feet are planting way off to her right

#

@crimson geyser

crimson geyser Feb 18, 2021, 8:30 PM

#

oh I see it now

#

tf

fringe lynx Feb 18, 2021, 8:33 PM

#

ok

#

so i fixed it

#

the issue was in blender - when you download an animation from mixamo, the model comes with the first frame of that animation as its resting pose

#

you have to manually go in and clear all the pose transforms, then apply that as the rest pose

crimson geyser Feb 18, 2021, 8:35 PM

oooh good to know

export from where?

like from unity

hybrid tinsel Feb 18, 2021, 10:11 PM

@crimson geyser usually that means you have an animator on the child as well.

vagrant atlas Feb 18, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

Hello guys!

#

I have a walking animation and there is an any transition with condition move forward > 0. that works fine, however:

if hasExitTime is checked, the animation does not start straight away but waits for the time of the walking animation then plays it
if hasExitTime is NOT checked, the animation replays in the middle, so it looks odd.

Suggestions? Just mention me @vagrant atlas please 🙂

gleaming vector Feb 19, 2021, 12:32 AM

#

hey guys, i have a problem with my character rig and some mixamo animations. they simply don't work together. the animations are straight from mixamo without skin just the animations and the character rig is not directly a mixamo one but i grabbed it from another character that was rigged via mixamo, changed some names due to blender shenanigans so i can copy them. nevermind.

#

so i thought that now when i throw the animations into unity and the rig into unity and set both to humanoid

#

and configure them that they both use the same bones they "should" work together

#

whelp they don't and i am really confused

#

(if you need any screenshots of anything besides my bank password) feel free to ask because i have no idea what info you may need to solve it because i have no idea what the issue is at all

#

the animator works fine. since i used them in another project already

#

Do humanoid rigs need the same bone naming?

twin musk Feb 19, 2021, 12:44 AM

#

hey i have a zombie enemy and i am trying to animate him using Unity's Animator because i made him IN unity using blocks and stuff, and i already animated him but now when i try to click on him in the animator it says that the parts which i animated are "missing" even though all the parts are still there

#

#

can i please get some help or some reasoning on how this happened, please?

gleaming vector Feb 19, 2021, 12:48 AM

i wish i could but i never animated directly in unity

damn

gleaming vector Feb 19, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

i tried some things for my mixamo humanoid problem that where suggested in the unity forum like enforcing t pose and remapping the rig but non seem to work or i do something wrong

#

unity version i use is 2020.1.17f1 hdrp

twin musk Feb 19, 2021, 1:03 AM

my creation doesnt have a rig, i just manually animated the blocks that mack ups its arms and legs

no thats a thing for my problem not yours ^^

#

guess i will rename my rig to the mixamo standard and see if that fixes anything

twin musk Feb 19, 2021, 1:21 AM

#

FOUND THE FIX: i first made teh animation with the Arms, legs, ect in different game objects then the ones they are in now, and by double clicking on them (in the animator panel) i could rename the path of game objects that leads to the Arms, Legs, ect

#

#

#

gleaming vector Feb 19, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

glad that at least one of us managed to find the problem. i am still renaming everything to see if that fixes my problem 🙈

#

how suprising it didn't work .-.

Hello everyone! I'm beginning in Unity and trying to import animations I made in Maya, as you can see the weapon of the character does some weird thing (anim looks fine in Maya), I am using a world joint parented to the character as a root motion node, while the sword uses a joint unparented to the character (I'd like to keep it that way) Anything I could do to fix that?

Hi all, I’ve got a Maya-to-unity question:

The unity physics isn’t the best so I need to fake an item crashing into some heavy objects (think bowling ball running into some 10lb pins) - so they fall down and on top of each other but don’t explode outwards.

I was hoping to bake the animation of the crash into keyframes and export it out as a group, but having trouble with the pins still flying away despite having a rigid body, gravity field and weight.

Does anyone know of any resource I could use to help me set this up? Most tutorials I’ve found either show a big explosion or use something like nCloth which isn’t applicable...

In the Timeline window, I can explicitly add animations and blend/fade between them, can I add a blendtree to the timeline and use this to blend between animations somehow? I'm using a 3d humanoid character & animations.

I want to render a walk to run animation, however explicitly blending between walk and run isn't smooth, however a blendtree does this well and I'd like to use this in the timeline animation.

add a trigger property in your animator to fire up the animation. once you mouseclick, just set the trigger

Heyoo :D
So I am implementing the player's pull and push mechanic in 3D space, I have made the mechanic to work but I am trying to figure out how to make it work in animation. I have the push and pull animation and added them in the blend tree. I got the push animation to work but can't seem to figure out how to implement the pull animation.

I am setting the blend tree value according to the input pressed from the horizontal and vertical axis.

So I have resorted in asking help here. My first approach was setting the pull animation in the negative value of the blend tree but do let me know if there is a better way, thanks :D

vagrant atlas Feb 22, 2021, 12:08 PM

#

So yeah use the blend tree parameters and go from -1 to 1 for blending push and pull (and a „nothing“ state on 0, that’s essentially the composite of push and pull)

#

I‘d do it like that

hey, So i am making a game similar to a Moba. So far i haven't been focused a lot on animation and due to a networking issue i have decided to start a new project and slowly make the game again to fix some issues on the way.

The way i was handling animations was more like in the SS
but i remember some people told me there were better ways to handle these.

So before i implement these animations and models to the new project. I have a few question.

1- what kind of issues this would cause in the future ?
2- how should i handle ( a source or even a method name would be helpful so i can research.
3- how hard would it be to implement animations to my game later on? ( well even if it's hard i will need to do so anyway )

When my character starts to run and it plays the running animation, the sprite looks like it is shifted upwards?

the sprites feet no longer touch the ground. Does this have to do with the dimensions of the animations/sprites?

@celest iron If you have the animator window opened while you are testing, can you not just check the bool you want to check, or click the trigger you want?

I tried that, unfortunately I wasn't given the bool checkboxes.

So, I just got a character back from my rigger and was importing it into Unity. Going well mostly, but in the Humanoid Avatar config, I noticed that the "Muscles" pane where you can test all the joints seems to think her right elbow is backwards for some reason. Neither my rigger nor I can spot what might be causing that, and I was wonder if anybody here might know what to look at.

#

It stands in "T Pose" fine, and animates fine. I'm just not sure what makes it think that joint is facing backwards. To illustrate:

Yes actually, but oddly the one that isn’t broken. And in Maya we zeroed the rotations, hence why we’re stumped

Hey guys! I'm a new animator in Unity and I would like to set up a start walk and stop walk animation transitions for the walk cycle of my character. As you can see, I have the blend tree set up to achieve this, but the animations are not getting triggered when playing, I was wondering if there's some coding involve to make them work.

cunning isle Feb 23, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

I'm not that experienced with this

#

But I'm pretty sure you need to link the Idle to the Movement

#

And Movement to Idle

#

Oh

#

Idle - Start - Movement

#

Movement - Stop - Idle

#

something like this

#

@mystic birch

#

I - Idle
S - Start
M - Movement
S - Stop (Other S)

mystic birch Feb 23, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

I believe I already have it set up like that but they're still not showing up - it goes straight to the walk for some reason. I'll double check the states

silk plinth Feb 23, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

You will need to connect them together (by right clicking idle or any other and then clicking set transition or make transition)

meager drum Feb 24, 2021, 2:30 AM

#

meager drum Yes actually, but oddly the one that isn’t broken. And in Maya we zeroed the rot...

To follow up/close the loop on this, it appears that the problem was that the Avatar definition was retaining some garbage data or something from an earlier version of the model. When I trashed it and recreated it, the problem disappeared.

Hey! This might be a mixamo question, but I'm having trouble working with my animations.
I downloaded a character model, and in the animator, I setup a standing idle, and a walking forward animation, but my crouched animations aren't working.

I didn't download any of my animations with a "skin" because I was under the assumption that I could change the model in the future if I only download the animation. Either way, my crouched animations won't work. I keep getting this error. Any tips?

Hi everyone! I just added a heavy attack animation to a game I'm currently making. I've already light attack animations, which work completely fine, but for some reason, my heavy attack animation snaps back to the animation point after completing the animation (as seen in video below). Assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please DM.

Heavy attack animation keeps snapping back

▶ Play video

#

Note: I want the heavy attack to leave the player at the position of where the animation left off, not return it back to the position of the animation starting point.

nvm i fixed it

Hello I’m trying to create a small Hack’n’Slash prototype. Since I have a lot of skills and animation, I’d like each skill to hold its own animation. Is it possible to then inject the animation in the player’s animation controller at runtime using code ? I’m thinking of implementing the State pattern for my skills ^^

gritty frost Feb 24, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

Afaik you can't change the layout at runtime, but you can change existing animations of states with AnimatorOverrides

#

If you can't make that work with your situation, Playable API https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Playables.html could be the next step.

Okay so i installed the animation rigging package

#

and i have no options in the menu to set up bone renderer

#

there is litterally not an option for it

#

all i have is the align options and reset bind pose

#

nothing else

#

am I doing something wrong oorrr?

#

these aren't there for me

#

Can't tell if i am just stupid or if it's unity that's being dumb

#

either are possible

#

anyone know?

gilded shard Feb 24, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

looked around and couldn't find anyone else who had the issue

gilded shard Feb 24, 2021, 7:01 PM

Reinstalling the package did not fix it

Yeah I have no idea at all why it doesn't show, anyone got any ideas?

I have an object that i set to active when i level up, this object has particle glow on it, it happens to now 'animate' the particle glows nor show them at all

In scene mode i can press play to start the particle animation

Im following along with my class here, im suppose to add in my idle jump and walk animation into my ball mesh in unity but for some reason unity wont allow any animations beyond the ones that come with the software or something. can anyone help me?

uncut salmon Feb 25, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Give your ball object an animator component, create an AnimatorController asset and drag it into the component.

With that object selected, open the Animator window and drag in your animations to assign it to that animator.

OMG why does animatorOverrideController replace state’s clip based on clip’s name and not state name ???? what the heck

so when rigging a character and you have armor pieces, what is the most common process when exporting individual armor pieces?

is it through having the whole skeleton as well as the individual armor piece? or cutting off the bones that aren't needed for the armor piece (just to retain skin weighting ect)

@gilded shard could be incompatible with your renderer or something.

I am working with animation in Unity exported as WebGL. I am trying to find the most efficient way to animate a large amount of objects (generic 2-3 different types) with independent pathing. Right now for every frame I am passing in an object id and new coordinates to update the position of the object. This works but as the amount of objects increases I am dropping frame-rate. I feel like for every object I update it's making a draw call. If I could somehow update the coordinates as one big batch and then just execute one draw call that would help I think.

Anyone have any ideas of how to do that, or if that would be possible?

@kindred spade are both looping options checked in the inspector for the .anim file? Do you have the start and end keyframes set to continuous?

Hey, someone knows how to "Freeze" the scale of an object?

I have this object and as you can see, the scale is ridiculous large. This happened because I've imported the object from Maya and I want this scale to be the default scale of the object.

#

Already tried with a big scale in Maya but doesn't work at all

Unity Learn

Introduction to Sprite Animations - Unity Learn

Sprite Animations are animation clips that are created for 2D assets. There are various ways to create Sprite Animations. One way is to create them from a Sprite Sheet, a collection of Sprites arranged in a grid. The Sprites are then compiled into an Animation Clip that will play each Sprite in order to create the animation, much like a flipbook...

quasi fable Feb 27, 2021, 8:59 AM

#

You have an animation event in one of your animation clips without an event handling function name specified

#

If you are confused about what an animation event is, you probably added it by accident

If you navigate to the animation in your project window, you’ll see the option to “Loop pose”. Tick that and you should be good to go! 👍

I implemented animations in this project a long time ago... her animations blink in the preview window in the inspector, but she does NOT blink in the scene any more! any ideas?

I added a second animation layer for some extra eye movements a while ago and i dont remember having problems. but her eyes dont close even when I delete that...

viral pollen Feb 28, 2021, 8:45 PM

#

I am assuming that some verticies have no weight

#

also, the object will not instantly be in an animation, when u import it into unity. You have to use an animator, and play the animation

zenith river Feb 28, 2021, 8:59 PM

#

@viral pollen i understand that but how do i get to know who is the vertices with that numbers?

#

and when i import to unity my mesh is destroyed

#

i try everything

#

from normalize faces

#

to merge by distance

#

clean everything up
