[zenith river]

doing tris to quad

same shiet

is like positions from blender dont apply for some objects in unity

they dont stand togheter after export

i mean import

[viral pollen]

I am not sure

wdym by destroyed btw? I couldnt see well in the video yoy sent

[zenith river]

what about now is working can you see it?

[viral pollen]

what is broken about it?

[zenith river]

in unity the parts are not togheter

parts fromthe weapons are in other positions

[viral pollen]

well yeah, you gotta play it in an animation.

those are just their default positions

[zenith river]

so it ok?

[viral pollen]

yeah I think so

just set up the animator, and see what happens

[zenith river]

let me try

i have like 6 objects toghter that form the weapon

[viral pollen]

yeah

[zenith river]

can say me short how to put the animation to work?

i am bigginer by the way

it said the animation component must be marked as legacy

[viral pollen]

use the animator, not animation component

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gON_hhhvheI use that btw

[zenith river]

ok thx i will try to follow the video

but why my objects are not togheter when i import?

[viral pollen]

that is just their defualt position, when they are not in an animation

[zenith river]

😦

if my parts are far away from the proper form how to move them in animation because i cant move them from animation or i dont know

i cant move parts just entyre weapon wit all the objects

@viral pollen

[viral pollen]

did yo make sure to make an assign an avatar?

[zenith river]

no

on avatar is said none

i am noob

[viral pollen]

I think you need to make one. go to your import settings on you modle

model

[zenith river]

i dont know

[viral pollen]

just clikc on your file, in unity, that contains your model

[zenith river]

ok

and then?

can i add you on friends and talk tomorrow?is late here

[viral pollen]

yeah

[zenith river]

can i add you to friend and dm tomorrow if i can?

pls i need your help

[viral pollen]

well, you would click one of the tabs in the settings, and change avatar to make from bones or something like that, and then choose ur root bone

[viral pollen]

yes

[twin musk]

Im sure anim mask is broken

With some anims at least

[round basin]

Hi, so I'm trying to have my character move their arms to aim their gun in the direction i need them to
and i kept getting weird results
so as a test i did this code

    {
        Transform rightHand = Animator.GetBoneTransform(HumanBodyBones.RightHand);
        Vector3 leftHandPosition = rightHand.position;
        
        Animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.LeftHand, 1f);
        Animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.LeftHand, leftHandPosition);
    }```

The left hand is not aligned with the right at all, and it's more down in the hip area
anyone know why IK doesn't move to the proper world position?
The rig itself should be fine since I'm using Mixamo's ybot as a placeholder

[wary agate]

I have a second animator to manage some values on scripts and when I play the animation which I keyframed to change some values they dont change and idk why the animator says the animation is playing yet the values arent changing anyone know why

[candid rover]

Hi i need some help here. I am working on my first project it is a 2d project. So i have some movement animations (up, down, left right) and some idle animations (up, down, left right). Currently my code does the movement animations the way i want it. However when the character is not moving the run animation is still working. How do i set up the idle animations to work when the character isnt moving?

[twin musk]

got weird bug

https://i.imgur.com/KCQQuEI.png

the Picking anim plays completely

despite having 0.1 exit time

nvm fixed

how do people get nice blend tree window? https://i.imgur.com/4er9AgV.png

i have normal node

ohh i have to enter it XD ok

[wintry mauve]

in general, it is possible to make some kind of animation and where to start to do something like that?

[swift temple]

looks like smth a vfx graph could produce

[wintry mauve]

but I create for mobile device. Can I use After Effects and then import to unity?

[swift temple]

if you can make it in after effects yeah

then it's just a matter of exporting as an mp4 and using a videoplayer component

or frames with an animator component i suppose

[zenith river]

why in blender all parts are togheter like it should be and after exporting to unity everything is wrong?

[acoustic geyser]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create an animation event for EnableCombo() and DisableCombo() but don't see any options to select such in the function menu for the animation event.

Heres the script for my animator handler

Any solution?

[trim pelican]

Hello Guys

Can i have a script with a slider (from like 0 - 10 for example) and as i slide this slider, an animation is played? And when i drag the slider backwards, the animation is played backwards? So when the slider is 0, the animation time is 0, and when the slider is 10, the animation is at its last frame?

[hybrid tinsel]

@trim pelican Yes. What you would do is to use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimationState-normalizedTime.html

[trim pelican]

I'll Look into that, thx

[zenith river]

hy all,how do i need to make animation in blender to export them to unity and show in unity the animation clips for every part of the weapon separately?

i have a weapon that transofrm in multiple mini weapons

so how can i make them in unity on pressing 1 or 2 on ui slot to active certain type of animation of mini weapons?

[vivid forge]

hello. not sure where to post this
i'm somewhat new to unity. is using animator for boss attacks/attack design bad practice?

i sometimes try scripting the encounters and it gets pretty difficult to coordinate, so i typically just use animator to do a lot of things. i'm wondering if that's what im supposed to do or not. thanks

[stark haven]

how do i manually separate sprites in a sprite sheet

[pine badge]

Hi, for some reason my root motion's Y value is very small (e-06) compared to other axis
Also, the root motion's vector is only non zero like, the first 7~ frames out of 30 total frames of the anim
Sounds familiar to anyone?

[split berry]

I don't think the Unity editor has a way to pull individual sprites out of a spritesheet and save them as PNGs. If that's what you are asking.

[eager ember]

How do i create a rig to use for procedural animations? Im following a tutorial but when i apply the IK constraint it doesnt do anything.
(tell me if this doesnt relate to animation, i thought it did because the whole rig thing)

[hybrid tinsel]

@eager ember you'll need to give more information probably

@vivid forge I use animations for that too.

[eager ember]

like what?

im using the animation rigging plugin and have the bones set up and the rig

[hybrid tinsel]

Well, you don't say what tutorial, what sort of animation, whether it is 2d or 3d rigging, etc

[eager ember]

i said procedural animation rigging

2d rigging exists?

[hybrid tinsel]

That could mean the specific package or more general procedural animation.

[eager ember]

walking

[hybrid tinsel]

All the procedural animation I've done has been without that package 😛

[eager ember]

but im literally just trying to set up IK on the legs

[hybrid tinsel]

https://i.imgur.com/e5vnvCJ.mp4

I honestly don't like that package; it is really clumsy and I've not gotten it to work other than simple tests.

But yeah, it is hard to tell what is going wrong because there are a LOT of ways for it to go wrong.

You made sure that the chain includes all the bones you want to affect? That the target isn't a child of the chain bones?

[eager ember]

yea

i cant check rn tho cuz i dont have access to my pc

-the question was hours ago

[hybrid tinsel]

I normally wouldn't reply to a question like that that's a bit outside of my area, but figured any help was better than none :3

[twin musk]

If i export my animation can other people use it??

The animation?

Im rlly confused with it

[zenith river]

hello

did someone know why after exporting an object with rig animation from blender to unity a part of object that is moving is moved in final position and not at standard?

[lost hazel]

Can I put in an animated blender model into unity

[zenith river]

yes

saving and exporting as fbx

then drag and drop in your folder

[fierce hedge]

when using the animator, if I have a string of animations that have to run in a specific order, how do i keep the animation state of the previous animation at the last frame after it transitions to the next thing

example: I want it to run through the first section at the top and keep the last frame of each animation in the chain.

[brisk patrol]

What is a good program to make assets, i dont have photoshop

[split berry]

Depends on your OS and budget. Krita is free and cross-platorm.

[brisk patrol]

@split berry ty

[twin musk]

Guys if i export an animation that i made, will i be able to use it in a new file in unity??

Im having trouble with it

[twin musk]

I made the animation within unity but i also wanna use it for my future projects

Is that possible?

[meager drum]

Has anyone had experience with SharedMeshRenderer's GetBlendShapeWeight() method? I can see in the inspector that my blendshape has a non-0 influence, and I can see it in the scene/game view that it's being used. So that's all good. But GetBlendShapeWeight() is returning 0 for that shape. I've verified that I have the right index by printing the shape name from .sharedMesh.GetBlendShapeName()

Is there some additional requirement here that I'm not seeing in the docs?

[valid ether]

@twin musk Do you mean future projects in unity or other software?

[twin musk]

Future projects in unity

[valid ether]

Sure I mean you can just load your animation filename.anim and just import it into your new project

[twin musk]

It doesnt work for me tho

[valid ether]

umm is this for a charcter or something?

hmm not too sure about animating in unity I do that in maya.

[twin musk]

Its just a transition

[twin musk]

Like a black screen will appear and will fade in and out

[valid ether]

ohh ok

hmm, there is probably a better way of doing that through a script rather than using animation.

[twin musk]

So i'll just be using script for that?

[valid ether]

My advice is to ask someone in the programming channel how to make a fade screen script and then you can just reuse that in your future projects.

[twin musk]

Okay thanks!

[valid ether]

your welcome, and the script sounds like it would be pretty easy to make

@twin musk Actually you could just gradually turn down the brightness of you directional light

[twin musk]

Oh but im making it for 2d

[deep hazel]

I'm using a motion matching animation system, which effectively plays individual frames of animations. There is some jerkiness as the character swaps between frames.. I tried Lerping the position & rotation of joints within LateUpdate, however this doesn't work at all well. how would I go about applying smoothing to the character bones to smooth out the animation?

[valid ether]

@twin musk Here I wrote this script to fade in and out it should be what you want

This is the canvas prefab that has a black image covering the screen in which the fade script manipulates the alpha

There are variables in the script you can modify that will show up in the inspector: Fade out, when false fades to clear, and true fades to black.

Alpha mod is how fast you want to fade.

The script is attached to the image object which is under the canvas object.

[bold cloud]

Please help fast

[swift comet]

can someone help me pls

I don't understand why this parameter doesn't activate an animation

[sterile pulsar]

i have a character and animation from mixamo. i've baked the transform rotation into pose with the character's avatar (and rigged the animation as humanoid). but when i run the animation (walking), my character veers right. are there any obvious things i should be checking here to stop the veering?

no other code in the script that would contribute to "horizontal" movement or rotation

[sterile pulsar]

actually, on further inspection, it seems like the player is weaving, not veering. if i walk forward for long enough, it alternates between veering right and left. it seems to be "averaging" straight forward, but is covering a lot more distance because it gets something like +/- 5 on the y rotation throughout the animation. is this likely a problem with the animation or my character (or both)?

[twin musk]

Hi ! I'd like to know if it is possible to use legacy animations with the timeline feature ?

[hybrid tinsel]

@twin musk It is.

@sterile pulsar If you have bake into pose selected for that axis that shouldn't happen I believe. Hm.

[sterile pulsar]

that's what i was thinking (but i'm new to animations). except, it is happening. 🤷‍♂️

[twin musk]

Is it possible to add "AnyState" as blendtree animation?

[valid yacht]

Its possible to adjust length of given animation?
For example I have single animation for running, but I made it smooth, so when Unity loop that Animation character at the end and start always is in standing position.

All I want is skip two or three first and last keyframes in loop.

[meager drum]

I don't think you can. I'd suggest just omitting those first few frames from the animation, the blending into it should work fine for "startup". If you REALLY want to use the custom lead in though, you can make it its own separate clip and have the animation controller change to the looping portion once its played.

[valid yacht]

I just found out I can edit Keyframes in Unity too.

I creating all my animations in Blender.

[meager drum]

Yeah, you can animate in Unity directly, but I haven't really tried that since my model's rig doesn't import

[valid yacht]

I doing most of things in blender.

Its more handy for me.

[meager drum]

Yeah. I have some stuff procedurally animated in Unity, like random eye and head movements. And breathing. But everything else I've done in Maya so far

[cloud storm]

LegacyAnimations. There's some conflicting info; some Unity blogs and talks (2018 era) say "they are here to stay", the actual manual and API docs, for ~8+ years now, have been saying "don't use em in new projects".

Anyone got anything more recent than that? I mean they are "fully" supported by Mecanim by now (no more debug menu shenanigans).

At this stage, are what the "Animation" component uses, even still referred to as Legacy Animations?

[cloud storm]

Also, what became of the SimpleAnimation Components?

[trail shoal]

When I start the game the blender model and its animations gets weirdly shown, their rotation and scale changes. Any fix?

is it because of my export options from blender or unity settings

[rustic surge]

Hi guys. What is the reason behind this behavior ? https://imgur.com/a/s9JsjYl

On walking state everything seems good with animation. When i run, animation buggs

Its a very simple animation that I trigger using my script on0CollisionEnter and onCollisionExit

[sullen sparrow]

Anyone know how to import an animation from Blender to Unity with FBX? Everytime I do it my model just tposes and nothing happens.

I'm also kinda confused how when I join two armatures, the one I connect loses its parent to the mesh that its attached to.

[rustic surge]

I am still having that problem from the above.. Anyone? 🙂

[clear orbit]

Hello.

Animation Rigging.

How?

[pine badge]

My chara rig used to be Generic, now it's humanoid (i added legs n other necessary bones)
Now it's animating normally, but the root node is... i dont know what it is but it's wrong. I do a stab animation (hand goes back, then forward), but the whole model gets moved

And i can't set the root node in Humanoid import setting, it seems

[dreamy jewel]

I assume you're talking about the button's animation with how it jumps up suddenly?
Seems kinda funky. I'd keep an eye on the animator controller window while you test the game. Try to see if it's transitioning between the "pressed" and "unpressed" states too quickly or if it's something else.

If I was using on Collision functions, I'd be sure to put a few frames of cooldown before they can trigger again to avoid anytimes when physics act incorrectly-or not as precise.

Like have some cooldown variable, like, "TimeTillButtonAnimation" or somethin' along those lines. Set it to some number and count it down each frame, and only play the animation if the counter has reached 0.

Alternatively you could avoid the whole OnCollisionEnter/Exit and use OnTriggerEnter/Exit, and set a trigger zone above the button.

[dreamy jewel]

Pretty positive you can only do that in the 3d modelling softwares. If you use blender, you can look up "Blender rigging tutorial" there's tutorials out there that are like, 10 or 15 minutes long and cover good info to know.

[cloud escarp]

Hello guys, one quick question. Is it possible for me to import just additional animation from blender to unity to an existing rig? do I have to reimport all and do the settings all over again?

[clear orbit]

@cloud escarp yes. Unity has a humanoid avatar sustem to let you use any humanoid animation.

[cloud escarp]

I see. Thank you for the reply. Knowing that I can do it is enough for me to keep going for now 🙂

[clear orbit]

Ok

@dreamy jewel o jave been looking at then for a while. Just made and exported my first rig into Unity. I guess I need to learn how to move the bones by script now.

[pallid plover]

how is dude even

[solemn summit]

so say i want to do a charging shield bash attack when i push a button for a character i plan to put in unity, do i actually have the character move in blender or do i just have the character run in place like a standard run cycle then i make the character move forward in unity

[viral pollen]

In blender my mesh looks like this

in unity it looks like

why is it so weird in unity?

[pallid plover]

how to save an animation as an fbx file and export it to adobe premiere?

[viral pollen]

in unity or blender

[pallid plover]

right now im using unity, and put the animation there

[pallid plover]

but so far there's no option to export to an fbx file, because i plan on putting it in roblox

[celest crag]

Unity has FBX exporter package. Don't know if it supports animation.

[viral pollen]

oh use the fbx exporter in the package manager

[pallid plover]

hopefully it does

[viral pollen]

I think it does

[pallid plover]

except

I couldn't find a way to drag and drop the animation inside of the actual fbx

i was only able to add the animation through the animator tab, then pressing ctrl 6

[viral pollen]

I think you export the animation controller?

[pallid plover]

told me the file is empty, but i selected them all, then pressed export, changed it to all files then added .fbx at the end to make it an fbx file, but didnt work lol

[pallid plover]

all i need is to figure out how to turn each animations within the package (meta files) into fbx files and i can easily take care of the rest

[viral pollen]

alright have fun

[hazy breach]

Why can't I turn on my animator? It says somehting about curves

[hybrid tinsel]

Do you have recording active? I don't think you can disable the animator from an animation.

[hazy breach]

No I dont have a recording active.

[hybrid tinsel]

when you say 'it says something about curves' can you be more specific?

[meager drum]

I think he's referring to the stats at the bottom of his pic, which I don't imagine is related.

[desert notch]

hey, i need some help, i was trying to make my first animations with the animation tab of unity. in the video i followed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ6VBRVNzus&ab_channel=Sykoo) the guy could see all keyframes of the different objects of the rigged body in one tab, but when i click on another object (like the leg of the character) i can only see the keyframes of this specific object, which is really unpractible. does anyone know how to change this?

[tiny elm]

I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask but, can someone explain what is the stride wheel technique based on?

[clear orbit]

Maybe if you clicked on Male Dummy. And then press the lock icon in the corner of the the Aniamtion tab??

[tiny elm]

Ping me when you answer

[frigid cargo]

So in unity i was making a shoot animation and a aim animation, but my problem is the gun is set to the right at default and when you shoot it stays at the right, so when you aim, the gun is centered and when you shoot while aiming, the gun goes to the right because of that. Any ideas on how to fix?

[desert notch]

didn´t work... I´m kinda stuck on this one. would appreciate some different tips : )

[hybrid tinsel]

@tiny elm Not sure what you're referring to; I used a 'wheel' to drive the feet of a character, but I dunno if there's an actual technique there.

[tiny elm]

@hybrid tinsel stride wheel technique is like this

[frigid cargo]

please help

[hybrid tinsel]

Ah, huh.

Mine was like this https://i.imgur.com/e5vnvCJ.mp4

It was very basic, using raycasts to place the feet. That one you linked looks like it is setting poses based on the rotation?

Does whoever made that have more of an explanation?

[charred belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNidsMesxSE (sorry if this is not what you meant)

[hybrid tinsel]

Oh, neat, I'll watch that later.

Though yeah, I don't know what it is based on

[deep mountain]

Noob question but how do i loop an animation?

[meager drum]

Do you mean where do you tell Unity to loop it, or how do you author one that loops cleanly?

[tiny elm]

Looks verry nice!

It's not the same thing but the stride wheel uses raycasts too

It measures the length of a stride and how the body goes up/down

[tiny elm]

This is the same video I watched
It was at 5:40 I remember. But the problem is that they didn't explain how to do it ;-;

[hybrid tinsel]

Yeah, I see that.

I'm nowhere near good enough to decipher how theirs works under the hood

And thank you!

[quasi fable]

If I want to make "mechanical" animations, with rigid segments that don't need to deform, is it better to weight-paint and rig a single mesh and use SkinnedMeshRenderer, or is it better to just make distinct objects and animate them directly via their transforms?

[hybrid tinsel]

That's a complicated question with no perfect answer.

[quasi fable]

My concern is that I plan on having hundreds of these animated machines onscreen at once and SkinnedMeshRenderer may be too nonperformant

Due to lack of instancing for meshes etc.

Maybe I should look into something like this https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/04/16/animation-instancing-instancing-for-skinnedmeshrenderer/

[hybrid tinsel]

Shader based animation might be suitable too

[quasi fable]

Compute shader? Or what

[hybrid tinsel]

Where you save the transforms in a texture and play it back that way

look up 'vertex animation shader'

[quasi fable]

Thanks!

[hybrid tinsel]

Really though the best method is very specific to a given project it seems

[quasi fable]

Yeah I'm going to try a bunch of things

Starting with basic SkinnedMeshRenderer and transform-based rendering with an Animator

But I wanted to have a sense of where to dig deeper if the performance is as bad as I expect

[hybrid tinsel]

I know that there have been tests of 100,000 animated characters using ECS

But that's so far outside of my needs that I've not looked into it much beyond going 'huh, neat'

[quaint robin]

hi every one i'm trying to add bones using Animation Riggin but when i add nothing happens to my obj

[clear orbit]

Hello

What do you mean , Does your model have bones?

[quaint robin]

hey

yes and no

wait let me show u

so i need to add more bones?

[clear orbit]

Those are bones

[quaint robin]

i know i add those manual in blender

what about this ?

[clear orbit]

thats what i was going to suggest

thats the one

[quaint robin]

i have to make animation for crab

but im new to bones and animation im trying its not easy

[clear orbit]

Yeah. It's a bit complex, but it gets easier

[quaint robin]

well i try thnks

[clear orbit]

ok.

Does anyone know how I can focus on a bone in the hierarchy by clickng it in the scene view?

F doesn't work

ok, now it works....

In Animation Rigging, I've put 2BoneIK constraints on all four limbs. What would be the next best constraint to put on? No fingers, maybe pelvis ???

[twilit scarab]

why is she moving bacckwards ??

the tranform is correct too

she looks at -X axis

[deep mountain]

Where do I tell Unity to loop?

[quaint robin]

hey guys any one use maya ?

[quasi fable]

Yeah I've looked into ECS and it just doesn't seem mature enough for me to build my project on it yet

[vast iron]

Is anyone can help me?
I need to understand how to adapt animation of one humanoid prefab to another. I have to assets of characters - blue dummy and low poly peasants. But if I use controllers from dummy in peasant it doesn't work

[meager drum]

I do, but I'm a novice so I'm not sure I'll be much help 🙂

[native harbor]

Hi everyone. So I had worked on a project in unity around 2 years ago and my teammate made animations for our characters. I am now trying to remake that project in another engine and was wondering if I would be able to pull the animations from the old unity project? I'm not really an artistic guy, more of a developer, and I have lost contact with the animator so I cannot get the raw blender animation files from him so I am hoping to be able to pull them from the unity project. I pulled the FBX from file explorer but it's all one FBX and there's like 40+ animations so I'd really prefer not to scrub through it and trim it 40+ times. Is there a way to pull the animations individually? Would anyone be able to instruct me on how to do this?

[quaint robin]

its ok just i download maya thnks mate

[hybrid tinsel]

@native harbor If you have the original unity file you should be able to export the animations as a unity package and import that to the new project.

[twin musk]

i have a problem with mixamo animations. (u know the mixamo.com) my skeleton's head is not moving. it has head bone but idk why isn't it moving. i took it from this here u can examine:
https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/character/anatomy/skeleton-e7f32f47-1381-4c18-b3eb-b4f201591ea2

yo rip I cant use blender

graphics card is a 2010 intel lol

[bleak river]

Oof

[odd prairie]

I feel a bit overwhelmed by unity's animation system sometimes

(including the workflow with blender)

I know theoretically the animation system is logically structured. But there are so many situations you need to understand what you're doing

and often that's not the case

was someone here in a similar situation?

how did you overcome this? what was the solution?

[rich slate]

are you talking about the UI of the Animation editor? I ended up using Umotion pro to edit my animations in unity

[odd prairie]

thanks for the hint, gonna check it out

[hybrid tinsel]

@odd prairie First thing to realize is that it is often very illogical' it isn't just you 😛

[stone otter]

hi could someone please help me figure out why this animation looks normal in blender but when importing it into unity, it's slightly wrong

[meager drum]

Can you elaborate on "slightly wrong"?

[stone otter]

so basically

there's arms and a knife

the knife floats a bit out of the hand

compared to in blender

where it stays in sync with it

[meager drum]

The knife isn't a child of the hand, it's a seperate object animated in sync?

[stone otter]

it seems to be a child?

[charred belfry]

could be animation compression

[meager drum]

Hrm. If it doesn't have its own joins animated and it's just "along for the ride" I dunno why it'd vary

[stone otter]

if it is, is there a way to turn it off?

[meager drum]

Are you baking your animations when you export? I know I have to do that from Maya to avoid drift

[charred belfry]

^this is true, I wouldn't think it'd be animation compression if it's just offset from the parent and nothing else

[stone otter]

this is a free asset i downloaded so i'm not sure but i could try do that i blender?

could i send one of you the model

and see if you have the same issue

[meager drum]

Sadly I don't know the first thing about Blender

[stone otter]

it's an fbx btw not a blend

[meager drum]

Ah. Well, I've retired for the night but I could perhaps take a peek tomorrow and see what it looks like to Maya

[stone otter]

thanks i'd appreciate that if i still have no idea what the issue is by the

[quaint robin]

so its wrong to make bone like that ?

[hybrid tinsel]

@quaint robin define 'wrong'? I can't even tell what I'm looking at.

@stone otter the name of the bone being 'goal' implies that it was meant for use with an IK setup, which would need to be baked before exportingto unity?

[quaint robin]

do i need to use subdivide ?

umm

[sudden drum]

hey, Im having a weird behaviour using LeanTween to move my menus, it does a weird bounce that looks like lag

someone knows why?

[gusty tundra]

Hello, I have this particle system, it's working well but I wonder how I can make it so the stars continues to fall for the whole duration

as you can see the duration is 2 but the particles disapears before that

thank you for your help

[pallid wave]

Hello! Somebody knows why I can't rotate the skeleton ?

If I play the animation, it works

but if I edit from the editor from example, it doesn't work

Seems like it doesn't update

Seems like I have this:

But in theory, it's just rotating that bones. Why in my case it doesn't update ?

[pallid wave]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/digital-human-skeleton-doesnt-update.1072445/

[clear orbit]

No idea.

In play mode or in Editor?

[zenith river]

hey guys who made animation in blender and then export it to unity?do you need a save with every movement of the weapon and idle separated or all in one save?

my weapons have different parts that are moving when the numbers ui slot is pressed so i need separated saves?

[clear orbit]

Why is the animator such a £&$% to get working?

[twin musk]

How do I do this?

How do i have multiple parameters on one thing

[mint flare]

every parameter you add on a child block will appear on the parent. wym?

[twin musk]

Oh thanks was wondering how they did that first time with animations and animator

[mint flare]

children values are shown on the parent

[mint flare]

also same variables are merged in the parent (they change together). also blend trees are one of the most powerful and also annoying things in unity

[twin musk]

I'm experimenting now thanks for explaining this

[random sphinx]

Hello,
I just changed the skin of my character only it is not composed of each body part like the mixam skin. How can I use animations with it?

[deep mountain]

How do i tell Unity to loop my animations?

[twin musk]

Edit the animation and click the little box that says Loop time. Don't forget to apply

[deep mountain]

Thank you!

You're welcome 😁

I'm using this tutorial to make my match 3 game pieces have different idle animations.

I do a variation of all he does...

https://hatebin.com/hrykltdiui

But for some reason the screen is lit up with numerous errors.

I'd be willing to provide more unity info or a project file if asked.

[twin musk]

I think he messes up towards the start of cs script coding and says he lost footage of him working on another script?

[twin musk]

Update; most errors are fixed. Unity and C# compiler not detecting arrows.

The piece still isn't randomly sparkling...

I think the issue is on line 40 where there's an array value [sparklePosition]

I don't think I have any gameobjects dedicated to this.

Wonder how to fix that? Nothing but a YT comment possibly related to it in the comments.

[twin musk]

I have the animation working on entry, but doesn't randomly trigger like in the tutorial.

Everything is 100% fine. I think the new issue is I don't have multiple animations for the script to choose from.

I'll work on this later. I'm satisfied with it as it is right now.

[twin musk]

[mild frigate]

Hi! i'm new to Animation and i want to know if someone can help me create a animation that changes with a button, i mean i have 8 buttons 4 for On and 4 for Off.

So when i press button 1 = On turn animation 1 On, if i press button Off turn it off, same with the other buttons.

[hybrid tinsel]

@mild frigate Look into 'radio buttons'

[lofty jungle]

Hi 🙂 Got a question about transferring skinned meshes between rigs. I have a rigged character model which I've split into two parts (head and body) before exporting from Blender. Both pieces have the exact same skeleton (since they came from the same model and I didn't alter or delete any bones). If I drag them both into a scene and position them in the same place, they match perfectly. However, I don't want to have to animate and synch-up two rigs (it's a waste), so I tried moving the head mesh into the body hierarchy and pointing the head's skinned mesh renderer root bone at the one in the 'body' model. But it doesn't work. The body animates, but the head is stuck in bind pose. What do I have to do beyond changing the SMR's root bone to get it to work? Thanks 🙂

[rare leaf]

Hi,I got a question about idle(standing) animation.I have the model of a pokemon with animation I made by learning from youtube,How will I add the model to unity scene such that it shows animation when standing at one point

[teal frigate]

Does anyone know how to make this collider move with player?

[floral canyon]

simplest way to make anything move with the player is to make it a child object

[lofty jungle]

Couple of ways, depending on why you need it there. What's the purpose of having the collider move with the animation?

[teal frigate]

right now when animation is finished player teleports to where animation started, it didnt show up on video

[split vine]

I have a question do someone know how I can make a trail like this?

https://gyazo.com/731b6711fdb3cc3c073f4ef8a444e4a6

A pixel ''block'' trail

[lofty jungle]

Right, so it's not so much that you want to move the collider specifically, it's that you want the root of the object to move.

You want to enable 'root motion' for that animation. That will physically move the object the animator is on, rather than just the bones inside.

[teal frigate]

When I enable root motion character goes crazy, turns around walks etc

😄

Does it have something to do with these maybe?

[errant snow]

What do you think about the falling/jumping/squishing animation?
https://youtu.be/ZmSg0DxtIR0

[boreal goblet]

is it possible to animate an optimized rig via script?

[fallow ether]

What if i want to move 2 object togetter like the player open a door or picking an object ?

[quasi fable]

Looks pretty nice. I think it would be cool if right after leaving the ground you make him a little squished on the x axis and taller on the y axis

before returning to normal

so like:
Normal, about to jump, right after jumping:

and then return to normal

[errant snow]

Yeah I was thinking about it too, and I would like to see how it feels to squish him even when he lands on the ground

[quasi fable]

ah yeah that would be nice too

that will feel super squishy 😄

[errant snow]

Thanks a lot for the feedback by the way, I'll try to work on the squishiness later

And keep you updated

[echo plover]

anyone know what this technique is called
where they animate something with separate sprites
for example each arm and leg has their own sprite and they follow the torso sprite

[delicate saffron]

Hello ! anyone have a good and slowly explain tutorial for procedural animation ?

[faint spire]

So i want to animate an button but i don't understand any of the options, can anyone please explain them to me?

[errant snow]

You may be talking about skeletal animation

[twin musk]

@tidal turtle I think it's sick.

How'd you get it to be see through?

I'll trade you my jelly script and project files if you tell me how to do that.

[tidal turtle]

I don't need it. All you have to do is duplicate the prism, then scale the clone up a bit, then give it a material with less alpha

[tidal turtle]

.

[spiral coral]

Im in the middle of importing my first custom 3D model asset. I have a FBX model which starts with a running animation. How do I have my model standing by default without the animation?

[tidal turtle]

so you dont want the animation? delete the animation

i think

im not sure how it works with fbx

[spiral coral]

I do need the animation, but I also need the model to place without the animation. If that makes sense

This is the first time I'm working with custom models and animations, so I dont understand a large amount of how it works. Does FBX make sense to use for this?

[tidal turtle]

im also new. so im not sure. the only time ive used fbx was when i was making my vtuber avatar

[spiral coral]

so what is your normal process for importing models and using animation? if thats not to much to ask

[tidal turtle]

well that's the thing. i dont use animations in unity. just the model

[meager drum]

Bringing in animations via FBX is pretty normal

@spiral coral It sounds like you're needing an 'idle' animation for the "standing there" one.

You can make a single-frame animation that's just a pose if you want.

[rare leaf]

I would also like to understand more about standing animation,is there any good tutorial you can suggest or a specific option in unity that I can mess around with?

[meager drum]

Usually they're called idle animations; but there's nothing terrible special about them vs any other.

Maybe if you look up tutorials on using Unity's Animator you'd get a better idea of how Idle<->Walking works

[rare leaf]

ty for the info

I will try it out for sure

also like what should legacy or something other be the tag for this model?

[hybrid tinsel]

@teal frigate You are baking the root motions, which means that that motioninside the animation isn't applied as anything but cosmetic.

[rich slate]

Are there any good guides on how to program or code in turning animation based on Vectors(Mouse input)?

[hybrid tinsel]

https://i.imgur.com/eIW6SaV.mp4

[little aspen]

I've got a bit of something i'm not quite understanding. unity appears to be applying some kind of motion blur almost that makes the animation look really stuttery. Here's the animation in photoshop then in unity to compare

[hybrid tinsel]

@little aspen Using the pixel perfect camera and enabling pixel snap on the sprite renderer might help?

[little aspen]

alright I'll try that

[teal frigate]

When player stops animation plays slightly more... Anyone knows what to do?

I tried editing transtion duration but still same problem

[quiet hedge]

is there a way with the default unity animator to use a spring curve? pref without manually entering the key frames

[rugged tapir]

I feel like I'm missing something super basic. Wonder if anyone can help.
I have an animator set up with a layer that has IK Pass enabled, and a script attached to the same object as the animator that has an OnAnimatorIK(int layerId) method defined.
Yet this method never gets called.
Is there any other setup step for this that I'm missing? Docs are not quite helpful, as usual.

[floral canyon]

may i have a hand figuring out this animation hierarchy in blender? and why do some of my animations not appear on the hierarchy?

[rugged tapir]

Another quick test shows that OnStateIK doesn't get raised either.

[rugged tapir]

Apparently the IK callbacks only work for animators that use an avatar of a humanoid. But you can't create an avatar asset, so I needed to get a random humanoid model, extract its avatar and use that one just to make the callback trigger ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hybrid tinsel]

@teal frigate You have a fixed transition duration, it will take that long to transition.

@rugged tapir The built in IK system is the humanoid IK system.

They really should just state that clearly.

[hybrid tinsel]

Does anyone know whether there's a way to animate values stored in an array?

[teal frigate]

Thanks I'll see what I can do

I dont have an answer for your question...

[meager drum]

@hybrid tinsel As far as I know, you can't do that directly. But depending on what you're trying to achieve you could rig scripts to do it. For instance, if you want to animate a property on every object in an array in the same way at once, that's possible

Basically, you put some property on the script that performs an action on the array when its value is changed. And then you can animate that property.

[split vine]

Is here someone who knows something about particles? My particles only work when my object is rotating ://

https://gyazo.com/eb9f25517f2d646c1770a9a649fd9c51

[rugged tapir]

@split vine Can you show the inspector for the particle system then?

[split vine]

Ofc

https://gyazo.com/a6efd15851ccdf82699f16d6902387ca

What im trying to make is this

https://gyazo.com/f730ea5ddbeac86ec092151a41906e4c

the freezing part can wait

[rugged tapir]

To be honest, emission rate over distance was always a bit sketchy.
But what you're trying to achieve looks like it can be done with a rate over time as well.

[split vine]

Oh how?

I tried alot of things with the rate of time

Can you help me?

[dreamy jewel]

I was gonna recommend the same thing, but only because Rate over Distance is the only thing that seems "different" to me.

I think in the past, I've had intended results with Rate over Distance, but... i'm not entirely sure what's going on with the rotation issue...

[rugged tapir]

The rate over time will spawn the amount you specify there spread evenly over the Duration defined in the main module. So over 5 seconds in your case.

[split vine]

Okay

[dreamy jewel]

Rate Over Time basically just ensures it'll spawn particles. No matter how little or much it moves. Which in this example, I think that'll be completely fine.

[split vine]

Is there a way to let particles stay for always?

[rugged tapir]

Don't think so, but you can give them an extremely high lifetime value.

[split vine]

The thing is then the particles become too long

[split vine]

I want them to be like here 1 object with 4 particles max

[rugged tapir]

You can limit how many particles the system allows at the same time in max particle in the main module.

[split vine]

Now this is what's happening

https://gyazo.com/7f03c1f306379b3d5439a20e21e3edc4

I want the particles to always stick to the object

so if it moves 1 block forwards that the last block disappears

[warped acorn]

My animation keeps going black until restarting again can someone help me on this

The sprite keeps going black and then the animation restarts

my unity version is 2019.4.9f1

[rugged tapir]

Change the simulation space to local. World means they stay in the place in the world where they were created.
Local means they'll stay in the relative position to the object from which they were created. Even if the object moves.

To fix the gaps, you should decrease the rate and make sure that it's in line with the duration of the system.
(So for example, 5 rate over time in a system of 5 second duration will spawn 1 particle per second. If the lifetime of the particle is 1 you'll always have exactly 5 particles)

[teal frigate]

Guys, these animations are getting so mixed up. Is this how it's supposed to be?

[hybrid tinsel]

@split vine You could jsut use a trail renderer?

[split vine]

It have fixed it allready but thanks for your help!

I have another question..

Is there a way to make particles into a object?

[chilly ice]

how should i sync a moving collider with an animation?

animation looks similar to this:

lasers will have the collider

[hybrid tinsel]

@split vine Make particles into an object?

@chilly ice animate the collider inside the animation?

[split vine]

Yes I can show you what I mean

Wait I'm wrong

[chilly ice]

didnt think of that, thank u

i was hardcoding values.

[floral canyon]

is it possible to fully model, rig and animate 100% within unity (unity plugins are acceptable)? i'm so deeply tired of fighting with rotations when importing from blender.
i learned about probuilder and downloaded the rigging/animation plugin but i don't think you can create bones/armature with it can you?

[floral canyon]

@hybrid tinsel you seem quite knowledgeable. mind giving me a hand? i'm getting desperate.

[floral canyon]

did you draw/animate that?

[floral canyon]

ok. i found this. 2D rigging within unity. creation of bones, constraining of bones and animation of bones.
that's exactly what i need but 3D.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZtpACxCTEE

[twin musk]

My walking bool is set to false by default but when my animation finishes playing the walk animation will by default play

[quasi fable]

That looks like the transition from walking to Idle

Did you set them up backwards?

[twin musk]

99% sure I didn't

I remember re-doing it 2-3 times

[quasi fable]

From that screenshot it looks backwards

It looks like you're wanting Walking to be true in order to transition from walking to Idle

I would expect the other way around

Walking is false to transition from walking to Idle

And walking is true to transition from idle to walking

[twin musk]

Seems that was the case

thank you

[chilly ice]

No, it’s a reference

[tribal ravine]

can I ask for help with the animator window

this isnt really help with the actual animations, but setting up the window with my animations

Do i ask for help here or in programming

[twin musk]

@tribal ravine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FhvQDqmgmU&list=PLwyUzJb_FNeTQwyGujWRLqnfKpV-cj-eO

[tribal ravine]

Well i mean this is a specific question

It's not really something I can just look up I think idk

[twin musk]

whats the question

[tribal ravine]

I have two sets of animations, one for moving and one for attacking

I have the moving blend tree already set up, but need help with the attacking one

The transition to the attacking one takes a boolean for a mouse click

And i want it where the player must hold the movement button and press click to attack

so for example holding/pressing "d" and clicking does the animation

How do i set up the blend tree to do that?

[tribal ravine]

nvm think i got it i gotta use transitions instead

[hybrid tinsel]

@floral canyon I am a 2d animator, and I rig entirely inside unity generally.

I can still try to answer questions of course.

[floral canyon]

after searching for two whole days, i finally figured out how to 3d rig in unity.
thanks for answering nonetheless.
do you have an online portfolio i could take a look?

[hybrid tinsel]

um, not really. You can see some stuff on https://pinballkitty.tumblr.com/

[idle frost]

Hi everyone, I’m a bit of a newbie to Unity and I have got myself a bit stuck! I’m hoping someone can help me 😊 I am using the Everyday Motion Pack from the Unity store which includes a 3D character and animations to go with them. I have got my character “walking” using the walking animation, but they remain walking on the spot. I’ve been trying to get them to walk from point A to B using the Vector3.MoveTowards function and setting the character and the target position as gameobjects in the inspector. However, my character is still just walking on the spot? I feel like I’ve Googled this to an inch of it’s life haha! If anyone has any idea how to help, it would be greatly appreciated!! (Also please let me know if I should bring this up in a different thread as well?)

[hybrid tinsel]

Does the movement script work properly if you disable the animator?

[idle frost]

Ah I've just tried it and it doesn't 😬

[hybrid tinsel]

Well, that narrows it down!

In your code it looks like you have the current position and the target position switched, so it is moving towards itself?

[twin musk]

I'm having an issue with an animations for fingers on a humanoid rig. When I set it to Generic, it works fine.(But I need to use Humanoid)

On the left in the picture is "Generic", to the right is "Humanoid"

I've been stuck on this issue for many days, it's a major blocker for my project. It even happens when I make test animations for models like Ethan.

Do you think there's something I'm doing wrong in blender? (I previously put this in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow, but now I think it's better suited for this channel)

[meager drum]

I was trying to help @twin musk with this on another server; We also determined that he can take "Known good" animations from other humanoids and retarget them to his model with good results. Which seems to suggest that his problem is something about going from Blender->Unity. I suggested he come here too see if any Blender users might be able to guess at the problem.

[twin musk]

Thanks for joining in Wyldfire :)

[hybrid tinsel]

@meager drum The avatar has all the bones correctly assigned?

[twin musk]

We assume so, because after the animation failed in this way on this model, I tried making an animation for Ethan, which also didn't match for fingers

However I did import Ethan's to blender to animate, and used my re-exported version of him

[meager drum]

@hybrid tinsel Yes, since the retargetting works and so do all the "muscle" controls in the Avatar tool

[tribal ravine]

for the animation window, is there any way I can have a transition/condition to something specific in a blend tree?

Like i want to have a condition for a something connected to a blend tree in a sense

[quaint fulcrum]

If I wanted to make an object float up and down, would I use an animation? And if so, where is a good tutorial to learn the basics of animation? I checked the pins but only really found documentation. (Obviously the most basic animation ever if you can even call it that but it's a good start to using the animator components I'd assume)

[thorn wind]

Does anyone see anything blatantly wrong here? Specifically, my sword_slash animation will sometimes not play, until another animation, such as strafing plays for a second or so first. I can't seem to figure out why. I've played with exit times and set it to play at any state.

[hybrid tinsel]

@tribal ravine when transitioning to a blend tree, it will go to the state that meets whatever the conditions are so as long as you have it set so that the tree will be in the state you want you should be good?

@quaint fulcrum Whether you'd use animation depends on a few things, like whether you want the floating to react to stuff(in which case I'd use a script) or if it is just a single repeated motion or a bunch of discrete motions that would be switched between (in which case an animation is good)

I'd actually suggest starting with the animation window manual on the unity docs before getting into tutorials; it will save you a LOT of time trying to figure out the interface.

[twin musk]

Any ideas for the animation finger mismatch Pinballkitty?

[twin musk]

If I can't get this resolved, I'm not sure if I can continue developing =(

[urban parcel]

Hello, I've got a big problem on my animation, that I can't solve by my own

Can someone help me out with it ?

[uncut salmon]

Just ask your question, if someone can help, they will.

[urban parcel]

Here is my problem, when my character jump near a wall, it bugs my jump animation, and it stucks on the first animation (3 differents animations for jump : take off, in air, land)

[median widget]

Everytime I try and animate my character, he just gets in this weird as position

let me hide the terrain to show you exactly whats happening

I can assure you, the animation is a lot different lol

It's just an idle animation, but everytime I play the game, it just goes to this weird ass pose.

animation controller

any help would be much appreciated ❤️

also - it's from mixamo

[brisk vector]

does anybody have an idea why the feet of my robot are detaching when i blend my forward and sidways run cycles?

[meager drum]

@median widget That's the default bind pose when using an animator. I bet your idle animation isn't set to loop.

WEll, when using an animator with a humanoid rig at least.

[median widget]

Interesting. It is set to loop 😳

You mean the animation itself?

I’ll check when I get home. Hopefully that’s the issue

[meager drum]

Yes, there’s a loop setting when you import it

That weird dead insect pose tells me an animator is in effect at least, so it’s probably hooked up right. And your animation state looks like it’s working fine. So that’s all I can think of

[median widget]

To fix it would I need to reimport? Sorry, not familiar with artsy stuff lol.

Also not at my pc currently

[twin musk]

I've had that happen to me before too, I think it was usually the animation rig didn't match the character rig.(Also do you have it set to generic or humanoid?)

[median widget]

I have it as humanoid

[twin musk]

Ah ok good! On the animation, are you using the avatar created from your character model?

[median widget]

wait..

idk what the hell just happened

but it's working now lol

[twin musk]

Haha I'm glad to hear that! =)

[median widget]

I changed from humanoid to generic, restarted unity, redid the entire process and changed it back to humanoid and now it's wokring.

maybe i messed something up. thanks guys!

[twin musk]

You're welcome, glad we could help

[sour dragon]

Does anyone know how to convert Blender animation files over to unity and get the animations to work? ( I have looked on google)

[meager drum]

@twin musk Was wondering whether you'd tried simple animations like "raise arm" and see if those work without weird rotational problems

[twin musk]

I just export animations to fbx ;)

Which part are you stuck on?

[twin musk]

I'll tried creating a very unnatural arm rotation on both joints and the wrist, and it was still in the expected location in Unity.(So it indeed seems it is just the fingers)

I also submitted a bug report too because I found a 2014 thread with basically the same issue with fingers, and the mecanim dev told the guy to submit a bug report(So in my view, that gives me permission to submit a bug report too haha)

[meager drum]

Interesting. I wonder why it would be just the fingers.

[twin musk]

Yeah I wonder too.... there's about 10 or so threads with the same problem as mine. Most of them aren't very recent, but I think all of them ended up giving up on solving it.

Some of them definitely gave up, perhaps the others did find a solution and just didn't post their solution, who knows

[hybrid tinsel]

Maybe the finger bones are twisted or otherwise incorrectly set up in the file?

[twin musk]

Well it even happens with Unity's sample "Ethan" model for me...

[meager drum]

Yeah, it's not the bones. It's the animation somehow, at least based on the results so far

Do the other people reporting this also have the arm twisted along the way?

[sour dragon]

@twin musk I am stuck on the part about animation

[twin musk]

Well the arm being slightly twisted only happens in that one model, it doesn't happen with the Ethan model

[twin musk]

As in, getting the animation to apply in Unity?

[sour dragon]

yeah, so I import the Fbx walking animation and I don't know where to go from there Youtube does not really explain it weel

well*

[twin musk]

Ahh have you made an animation controller yet?

[sour dragon]

uh no but what do I do after I make the animation controller

alright made the controller

[meager drum]

Try watching this: https://youtu.be/vApG8aYD5aI

[sour dragon]

I want shaggy to explain it

[twin musk]

Alright, I can understand that. I do better at reading how to do things too as opposed to videos. =P

But keep in mind this is just to get your animation playing in Unity, you'll definitely want to research animation controllers if you're planning on making a game.

So just to get it working, next click on your animation controller, right click in there and create a state. Then drag your animation into that state as the "motion". After that, you'll want to add an "Animator" on the object you plan to animate, and select your animation controller as it's controller. ;)

[meager drum]

I find videos are good for getting the gist/overview of how things all go together, then I want the docs for details

[sour dragon]

explaining it helps me get through the useless stuff of the video

[meager drum]

Also, it's good in general to be able to research topics yourself and then have specific questions here because a lot of time people don't have time for giving full blown individual lessons.

[sour dragon]

Didn't find out that video until now

[meager drum]

That's fine. Don't take this as scolding or anything, if Shaggy is willing to type it all out that's fine too. I'm just taking a "teach to fish" approach 🙂

[sour dragon]

I am fish now

[twin musk]

HAHA

[sour dragon]

You got a fish pfp

[twin musk]

you are the fish now

I certainly agree with the "teach to fish" approach. I think very important to know how to navigate the docs(or vids if that's your thing), that's how I learn nearly everything. (Not just for Unity too, for anything else that I program)

[meager drum]

🐠

[sour dragon]

I get german vids though

[twin musk]

Oh you are german?

[meager drum]

Yeah, and finding a Youtube person that you LIKE makes a huge difference in how well the videos go down too

Some of them are.... really bad.

[sour dragon]

English is third language

[twin musk]

Haha indeed, most youtubers annoy me

Ahh I see

[zenith river]

hy guys can you have 2 triggers condition on a single transition?

[quick jungle]

how can i attach my gun to my characters hands? i will have multiple guns with different animations , like when the character runs with the smg he is going to hold it up with one hand but when he runs with the rifle he will hold it with both hands and face down

[twin musk]

I would child the model to the hand, that is what UFPS does as well

[tribal ravine]

is there a way to clear an animation after its done

for example my enemy_death animation is it like doing a lil explosion

but the last frame is like parts of dust, and I want it animation to just like go away after it finishes its loop

I already set it to only loop one time, but how do I get the last frame to disappear at the end of it?

nvm figured it out

if anyone wants the solution its to create sprite_renderer property in the animation tab

and just turn it off at the end of the animation

Anyone know why my wolf keeps standing up? he's supposed to just sit there idle and not move, once the quest has been done 😦 but when i leave the collider/trigger he stands up and idk why ;/

[twin musk]

Very cool project so far @twin musk !

[twin musk]

How do you get the bats of time to show below each animation?

It used to do that on mine, but I think it accidently became disabled somehow.

[uncut belfry]

Is there a way to get the perfect movement speed for a animation?

[hybrid tinsel]

Depends on the animation. If it has root motion of course it is pretty easy. Otherwise, if the motion is uniform it is pretty easy to estimate and then refine it.

If the animation is very nonuniform, then it is trickier but doable.

[uncut belfry]

Its a in place walk animation.

[west dock]

hey everyone, ive got an asset from the unity store, its a player model but the animations arent working
its already got an animator component on it but how do i get them to actually work ?

[placid jacinth]

hi there

how can i import my animation from maya to unity?

tag me when replying

[errant sage]

hy guys i have a question

can one animation play over another

[unborn copper]

I have 2 models: one short guy and one tall guy. they both have the same rig and vertex groups are made to match proportions. when i play the same animation on both of them in Unity, the tall guy becomes short and the short guy stays the same and the animation plays on both. is there anyway to stop the tall guy from becoming short when animation plays? i already tested the same animation on both in blender it works fine there but not in unity.

[celest crag]

You might need to copy animation and scale curves accordingly.

[glass cove]

Hello ev, reposting in the right channel.

i have a question about root motion.

id like to get the character controller to sprint or jump to a target distance and im unsure whether i can dinamically do that using root motion or i should blend the pre jump (root motion) and turn it off to actually move to the target via script.

This sprint/jump would be followed by attacks most likely, just want an automatic way to approach to the enemy either on the air or the floor.

[unborn copper]

thanks, but thats what im trying to avoid. seems highly inefficient to create different instances of the same animation for the same skeleton structure just cause the bones in one are in a slightly different location. there has to be a way around it, considering the number of characters i have.

[halcyon sundial]

I'm very new to unity and 2D animations, and desperately hope that someone can help me with a silly issue. When I move a bone in my sprite it only creates a keyframe under that particular bone, it's not creating/collecting any bone or IK keyframes in the main timeline anymore? The animation is recorded just fine, and can be played just fine, and the issue remains with brand new sprites.

[azure dune]

I struggle constantly with getting even simple animations to work the way I'd like, it seems.

I have a player - who starts in a laying down position (all 2D sprites, btw) .. and when a button is pressed, an animation plays, 3 frames standing the player up. Once the animation completes though, the player reverts back to the laying down sprite. ... I've even tried setting up an event frame, at the end of the animation clip - to programmatically set the sprite to the final frame's standing sprite - no dice. The second I transition to a moving, or idle animation, player's on his face again.

[meager drum]

@unborn copper Total guess, but maybe if you make animations that only keyframe the rotations of the joints and not their translations?

Dunno how realistic that is

[meager drum]

@placid jacinth Did you ever get an answer? What are you having trouble with?

[placid jacinth]

@meager drum yes i got my issue solved.....i just wanted a simple animation in my game.

i animated it in unity itself

it was very simple

[meager drum]

Ok, cool. I've only just started doing animation in Maya->Unity myself but I have it working so far

[placid jacinth]

cool

[meager drum]

Mostly see Blender users in here though so I thought I'd help if I could 🙂

[placid jacinth]

u have maya's student version?

[meager drum]

Indie

I had been using LT, but then they launched Indie here late last year, which is a much better deal

[feral bolt]

I have tried with like 4 rigged models and I cannot get constraints to work, I've added the rig thing and created a two bone ik constraint but they never move with the hint or target

I tried with multi aim and the bones won't move

I've been following tutorials very closely and I have no idea what I'm missing

[hybrid tinsel]

@errant sage Yes. You can add layers to the animator.

@unborn copper are these humanoid animations or generic ones? Mecanim humanoids should remap to differently sized characters if the avatars are set up correctly.

@halcyon sundial Did you accidentally add animators to any of the sub objects?

@azure dune Did you set the animation not to loop? Is root motion enabled?

[wooden sky]

Okay I gotta turn to the Unity discord gods for this one.... Does anyone know how to solve the "Animator.goTo: State could not be found", along with the "layer index -1 error"

[hybrid tinsel]

@wooden sky can you give more detail of the problem? That first error seems to happen when you either mistype the name of the animation state. Another possible cause is naming the variable you use to reference your Animator 'Animator.'

Which causes unity to freak out slightly.

But without seeing the code/animator it is hard to pinpoint.

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel Gladly! I'm using Raycast for this as well but lemme just get my code down real quick in something to send to yah

@hybrid tinsel https://pastebin.com/d6BRLLc5

Thats mah code

This is also a trigger as well, I've been told Bools may work but I'm not sure if thats the case with this

[hybrid tinsel]

If you use the .origin and .direction of the ray, does that work?

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel I'm pretty sure it does I get the debug log everytime I click the collider

@hybrid tinsel Also new af to Rays just started them yesterday

[hybrid tinsel]

And you aren't setting a trigger OR a bool, you are trying to call a state directly.

One that doesn't exist.

[wooden sky]

Wait a second

That's not setting a trigger :()

[hybrid tinsel]

If that's a bool you'd use SetBool, and if it is a trigger you'd SetTrigger

Right now, your script is trying to directly play a animation state called 'HC'

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel TYVM I changed it to SetTrigger and now I get no error popping up and the animator says its playing it, but oddly enough now the animation is actually not playing at all even though it says it is

@hybrid tinsel Thank's alot though man for that, I did actually try using "play" for the animation earlier on that, but changed it back to animator after switching to legacy made my animation weird

[hybrid tinsel]

It might be restarting every frame. Is the trigger ever staying turned off?

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel it appears the trigger is not actually, it has a full loading bar just sitting at the bottom of it

Not transitioning back to idle

@hybrid tinsel Oh weird I gotta click it again for it to go back to idle

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel Yeah the animation in general wont play

[hybrid tinsel]

You are triggering it on the right object? You have the animation assigned to the state?

[wooden sky]

@hybrid tinsel Now should this script be on the parent game object or the child? I'm just trying to get a turtle to suck in limbs when I click on them

[hybrid tinsel]

On the object with the animator, the way you have it set up now.

If it's on another object you'd need to set which animator it used a different way.

Also, you call GetComponent<Animator>() every time it is called; it is better to set a variable for that once and then use that.

[wooden sky]

Honestly it's looking all good, and yeah I do need to assign a variable to that; this things woopin my ass rn

[hybrid tinsel]

@halcyon sundial I also notice that you disabled the animator component on your object?

[azure dune]

It's neither of those. I found a bandaid solution 😫

[hybrid tinsel]

Oh?

[azure dune]

I don't wholly understand why it can't just keep the sprite from the last frame of the animation, but as soon as it would transition to another clip, it would revert back, so .. I've just set my few looping clips (walking, idle etc) to start by setting the correct sprite

The most confusing part is that .. fine, the animation doesn't make the change permanent, whatever .. the function I tried to call to programmatically set the sprite in an event frame, ALSO wouldn't leave it alone though.. THATs what's so fucky.

https://streamable.com/mtzprf

But, at any rate.

[rough widget]

is there a reason why an animation plays for a random door and not the door I am interacting with?

[hybrid tinsel]

@rough widget There has to be a reason. We can't tell what it is without more information, though.

[rough widget]

yea so i have a door controller that plays an animation when i press e on it.

    void Update()
    {
        Ray ray = camera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, InteractableRange))
        {
            if (hit.collider.tag == "Door")
            {
                if (player_inventory.GetKeyAmount() > 0)
                {
                    if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
                    {
                        print("E is down");
                        player_inventory.SubtractKey();
                        OpenDoor();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    }

im not sure if im supposed to post code here though

but a random door opens instead of the one I am facing

I am using a prefab and creating instances of it throughout my map

maybe that has to do with why its picking a random door?

[hybrid tinsel]

Well, you don't in any way specify WHICH door you want to open in that code.

And also don't show the OpenDoor function so dunno what that does.

[rough widget]

    void OpenDoor()
    {
        animator.Play("OpenDoor");
        FindObjectOfType<SoundManager>().Play("DoorOpen");
    }

sorry my naming is kinda off

[hybrid tinsel]

My guess is that this is running on every object in the scene, and it is triggering on the first object that happens to run the code that particular frame.

Also, you should probably cache that FindObjectOfType

Especially if this script is gonna be run on lots of objects.

So what seems to be happening is that every frame, every object in the scene with this script is running at slightly different orders, so the first one to run consumes the key and opens.

If it didn't consume the key I suppose it would probably open every single one.

[rough widget]

yea thats what it seems like

when i try it with 10 keys it opens 10 different doors

instantly too

[hybrid tinsel]

Also, you don't test whether the door is already open.

So it will probably waste keys clicking on an open door

[rough widget]

okay i added that

[hybrid tinsel]

I suggest looking up RaycastHit and checking WHICH door was hit.

If you're going to have the raycasting in every door, you can just check if the raycast hit that object each time. If you wanted to have a separate script for the clicking, you could use hit.gameObject.GetComponent<DoorScriptNameHere>

[rough widget]

how would i check if that object was hit each time?

since right now Im using a tag

or would i use

hit.gameObject.GetComponent<DoorScriptNameHere>

to get the game object hit and run another script on that door to open it?

hmm i think i got it, thanks for helping me figure out the main problem

[hybrid tinsel]

No problem

[rough widget]

oh yea if you're still here, is there anyway to hide the doors after they open?

[hybrid tinsel]

'hide' them in what way? Make them disappear? Have the pieces outside the frame invisible? There are lots of options depending on what you want it to do

[rough widget]

disappear

would it be just disabling the doors after opening them?

[hybrid tinsel]

If you're using URP render pipeline, you can hide the doors outside the frames pretty easily

You can definitely do that. Just animating the mesh renderer and collider off.

Or animate the material to fade it out if it is transparent.

[rough widget]

okay ill try one of those ty!

[little sluice]

Hi, is there a way to add weights to bones on a model so that if I move one bone, the others move in tandem? I know Blender has this ability, but I was just wondering if Unity had something of the sort.

I know there's a Two Bone IK component, but what about multiple bones connected?

[cloud escarp]

Hello. I started modeling things only recently, and am learning something new at every step. I couldn't find a solution to my question though. Lets say I'll make a character with sword and shield. Would it be better for unity to model it all together in one mesh or keep the sword and shield separate, using them as child of the warrior? I'm sure this is a basic thing, but any recommendations or heads-up are appreciated

[little sluice]

For this, I modeled the weapons in Blender with the character model, but I exported them as individual objects. That way I have more control over the weapons ingame

[cloud escarp]

@little sluice yeah that's what I was meaning to ask. Thank you

[halcyon sundial]

Thank you so much for your reply! There are no animators on any of the sub objects, but I realize that as soon as I click record, the animator component box gets unticked. If I tick the component immediately, still while recording, it gets unticked really fast again after I've moved a couple of bones. When I move a bone in the scene view, that bone immediately gets selected in the hierarchy list and shown in the inspector window. I tried doing a entirely new sprite from scratch too, with the exact same issue.

[swift cape]

Does anyone know why my sprite looks different on the sciene view and the game?
EDIT: Fixed, just made more spaces in between the sprites in the sprite sheet

[hybrid tinsel]

Mipmapping?

[swift cape]

mip what?

[winged wyvern]

Any one experienced with physical animations. Would like a consult to get some help.

tag me if so

[wraith pond]

hi is anyone able to help me, I am making a 2d platformer, I have two players each with a playercontroller script that handles the movement etc. each player moves independently fine but all animations are triggering on player2 at the same time as player1.. I have tried duplicated the animator controller and the animations them selves and assigned that in the editor but it's still happening, is this a common issue that anyone has had, anyone got an easy fix? thanks for you're time if you can help 🙂

[wraith pond]

i've sortig this issue now so dont worry your selves

[valid yacht]

I pressing front button and back button very rapidly, but its never chose transition between run and run_back.
How I can fix it?

Also, don't spam. You're not going to suddenly make someone appear. Have some patience.

[jolly burrow]

Hey is there a Humanoid Unity Skeleton that i can download for Blender , so i can rig my Avatar to that and able to use unitys Humanoid Sytem ? Without having to retarget or read lot of error messages

[meager drum]

The point of the avatar system is to map your skeleton to Unity's humanoid. As long as you have joints representing the major joints the avatar system wants, you're good.

[jolly burrow]

Hey thanks 🙂 but i have to map it each time i import / make changes ... i was just curious if i can skip this ... like mixamo its mapped properly with the import

[meager drum]

You generally shouldn't need to re-map

If you just update the model, the avatar definition won't go away. As long as you didn't rename bones it should still work.

And if you put animations in seperate files, you just tell it to use the other avatar definition instead of creating a new one

[jolly burrow]

okay thanks i gonna try . ohhh like not " Create from this Model" but use Model XY ?

[meager drum]

Yes, exactly

[jolly burrow]

nice okay

another thingy ... do i pose my character Manually in a T- Pose ? the rest pose right now is this and the fingers not work nice at all in unity https://gyazo.com/0ce871b5d6e22fabc5b3ab93fde2fb9c

[meager drum]

You don't have to. When you're creating the avatar definition, it'll keep complaining that the model isn't in T-pose. In one of the pulldown things towards the bottom of the interface (If I were in front of a computer I'd screenshot) there's an "Enforce T-Pose" option that does it for you.

My characters so far are modeled in more of an "A" pose but it hasn't been a problem

Found it in the manual:

The "Pose" pulldown to the right of Mapping has it

[jolly burrow]

mmm thank you .i gonna test it out

[boreal rain]

Im super new to unitys animation system but I want a simple equip animation to play once and then stop.
But it seems like the animation is running for ever, its only playing once but it keeps running in the back.
I have looped disabled and this is my line to play the animation
animations.play("Equip");

anyone know how to stop the animation when its finished?

Or does it have to do smth with how I set up the animator transitions?

ah yes that was the problem

:))) fixed it myself.

[teal frigate]

How do people make animations like on Mixamo? How can I learn to do it

[opaque junco]

why is this happening

[boreal rain]

learning by doing

just traine every day

the animations are that good from mixamo because the people were animating for a long time

[teal frigate]

I see thanks, do I just use programs like blender to animate?

[boreal rain]

yes blender.

I would suggest animating atleast 1 thing a day

this way you'll 100% improve.

[teal frigate]

Thank you dude I'll try

[twin musk]

animating a knife swing animation in unity

btw whenever i play the animation the object goes a million miles away

[hybrid tinsel]

Mixamo is mostly motion capture, isn't it?

@twin musk you don't really give enough info to troubleshoot it.

[twin musk]

so i add keyframes to make it move

and i test the animation

it goes like 600 units away

[ornate bridge]

why my collider is like T mode ? And don't follow animation ?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/493511448639832085/823578782450843713/unknown.png
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/493511448639832085/823578840558862356/unknown.png

[celest crag]

Dynamically updating collider are very costly. Usually simple shape colliders are attached to bones.

[ornate bridge]

simple shape colliders ?

@celest crag

[celest crag]

Also don't cross-post

[storm orchid]

someone who can help me with rly basic stuff?

[celest crag]

Don't ask to ask. Ask actual question.

@storm orchid

[storm orchid]

i downloaded this racoon https://opengameart.org/content/cute-raccoon-2d-game-sprite-and-animations and i want to make it move at a constant speed in one way and be able to jump, i was able to do it with other characters (without animations) but this one doesnt work

i just started learning yesterday btw

[static wing]

how can i create a sprite animation with swapable spritesheets. I have multiple spritesheets with the same structure, do i have to manually create the same animation for all of them?

[hybrid tinsel]

@storm orchid You'll need a bit more information than that; describing HOW it isn't working, the way your code is, how things are currently set up. There are literally an infinite number of ways it could be not working and we can't guess.

[storm orchid]

I think the problem is that the square around the character covers more space then just the character https://gyazo.com/e7d6906585b50e411596bf56dac73c54

[hybrid tinsel]

@static wing Something like this probably void SetSprite(Sprite s) { gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = s; }

I don't have unity open right now so might not be perfect but something close to that

@storm orchid You can set the pivot point in the sprite editor

[west drum]

I have a run animation from mixamo I'm using. I have no idea why but it is slightly crossing the legs when running in Unity, this doesn't happen in the preview on Mixamo. This is not a root motion animation but for some reason in I check "Bake into Pose" on "Root Tranform Rotation" it seems to fix this but I have no idea why.

Also this only happens if I make a humanoid avatar, it stays perfectly fine if I keep it on generic with no avatar in use.

[boreal rain]

yeah like a bean cone.
Simply use a cube or sphere or cylinder and use the collision from that.

ppl rarely use that complex collisions due to its performance cost

and its not needed.

[boreal rain]

I would assume it has smth to do with how you weight painted your Mesh, not sure tho.

Or just the fact that the animation you're using is way more detailed and build for a more detailed model than your low poly one.

[ornate bridge]

@boreal rain so i use sphere collider on each bones

[boreal rain]

nooo

I mean, you could but thats not what I suggest.

how important is a correct collision

is it important to know where the head is ( for like headshots ) or each leg/arm?

[ornate bridge]

yes so i need to put sphere collider on it?@boreal rain

[boreal rain]

Or capsule

prob better in your case.

but yea.

[ornate bridge]

yeah capsule

so capsule on each boes

it is a long task to do it manually

[oak musk]

sorry for a dumb question but, how would I use GetComponent to access this Script/Component to access the Animator Controller?

[west drum]

@oak musk
Short answer: You use the name of the class (script).

Long answer: When the game is running it makes an object with the name of the script, so you actually aren't getting the script you are getting an object of that type.

[sly ice]

I have script listening for live mocap data and it updates bone positions to a humonoid rig, it'd like to blend it with animations at times /w masking but assigning an animation controller even without a starting animation overrides the mocap data completely. Any workaround for this? (I tried lastupdate but it breaks the server script)

[hybrid tinsel]

lateupdate would be the usual way I'd suggest for that

So dunno...

[sly ice]

I may need to look into modifying the script I guess and seeing if i can just get the animation updates on lastupdate

I was warned there could still be priority issues though =_=

[young bobcat]

Can I discuss some doubts about the Animator here?

[twin musk]

no

[young bobcat]

Which chatroom would be better suited?

[twin musk]

none, so choose wisely

[young bobcat]

oof

[twin musk]

in other words, just ask here

[young bobcat]

Very roundabout way of saying yes I must say

Is this good?

Wait let me rephrase that

[twin musk]

im no animator but you may want to provide information on what kind of animation this game will use (frame based, skeletal.. etc.)

[young bobcat]

Is bruteforcing with the help of bools only a good way of managing animator states?

[young bobcat]

Frame based

[noble fiber]

you can use triggers too

[ruby plume]

animation is hard

[modest summit]

Is it possible to run to animations at once? For example walk and attack.

[meager drum]

Yes, with layers and masking

[west drum]

I added jumping to my game with an animation and usually it works fine but if I spam jump really fast (last 3 jumps in the clip near end) I get my walk animation in air sometimes, it seems like it has transition time? I have "Has Exit Time" unchecked on every transition.

Here is the animator

[west drum]

I found one way to fix my problem is by setting a transition from Any State to Jumping, so that may be the solution for now.

[lilac flax]

Is there a reason why some layers of the psb file don't show up on unity?

[ancient echo]

Im not entirely sure how to word this or what info/screenshots you might need to see (let me know if more info is required) - but for some reason the IK animations setup in Blender dont seem to reflect exactly in Unity, as if the shoulders arent moving or something, the rig and avatar looks configured correctly in Unity, any ideas what might cause this? (image on the right is the IK animation in Blender with the base model, and the left is Unity on the same frame, why are the hands not touching in Unity but they are in Blender?)

[hybrid tinsel]

@lilac flax they might be hidden, they might be inside a folder, they might have duplicate names/IDs.

@ancient echo Blender IK is not exported to Unity. you'd either need to bake the animation to normal FK keyframes, or redo the IK in unity.

[lilac flax]

@hybrid tinsel indeed they were just hidden I don't know how I don't see it before

I have a problem about my rigging :

Here is my character that I want to rig and animate, each eye is animated and will have a hitbox, and they will be disabled when the player kill them, the fact is that I don't know how to rig all this character

[hybrid tinsel]

@lilac flax Aw, that is adorable! I really like the design.

Stuff like that is fun to rig https://i.imgur.com/q5isRTS.mp4

[lilac flax]

I'm completely lost atm ^^

yes 😂

I don't know where to place my bones

[hybrid tinsel]

Actually, I have another that's covered in eyes, I can show you how I did that

[lilac flax]

and what bones that I have to connect with each part

yes please ❤️

[hybrid tinsel]

hrm... I can't seem to upload images suddenly o.O

For spherical eyeballs, you'll want the pivot of the bone in the center of the circle.

I usually use two bones; one that goes across the eye socket for the eyelids and one in the center of the eye for the eye rotation.

[lilac flax]

the center of the eye in the sprite or the center really?

[hybrid tinsel]

The center you want it to rotate around

There we go

[lilac flax]

oh

do you have the final animation? To show what it does?

[lilac flax]

tbh I don't know yet what animation this boss will have, but all the eyes will shot in their proper directions so they will not move that far, I just want to make them moving to follow the body sprite

[hybrid tinsel]

Kinda hard to see the eye movement, but they rotate and blink https://i.imgur.com/zlHf6xj.mp4

[lilac flax]

wow

very nice job

Ok so I restart the rigging

[hybrid tinsel]

I did the eyes the same way on this one, maybe a bit easier to see https://i.imgur.com/3epnVVr.mp4

Anyway, if you just want them following the object they're attached to, you can just parent the eye bone to the object it needs to follow

[lilac flax]

I think I'm doing it in the wrong way, when I see your results there's a lot of thing I don't understand, how did you do to make your eyes colors going behind the black circle border

Maybe I'm wrong even for my sprite itself

[hybrid tinsel]

This is the entire skeleton, by the way.

There are a couple ways to do that. The easiest way is to just have a hole in the object in front.

More difficultly, you can use shader tricks

But for both the ones I linked there are just eyeholes cut out 😛

[lilac flax]

hmm

okay I'll try something

and for the bone influence part, what are your advices?

[hybrid tinsel]

Bone influence is a big topic. Where would you like to start? 😄

[lilac flax]

ahahah

I finish my rigging and I'll ask some questions ^^

ok thx for the eye part

but I can't do it like this, I put the dead eyes skin on the body sprite

so when a eye is dead, I make it disapear

(maybe it's the wrong way to do it, I can modify it if necessary)

[hybrid tinsel]

the 'rings' of color around each eye are the eyelids, so they can open and close by scaling the bone that goes across the socket

[lilac flax]

okok

[hybrid tinsel]

@lilac flax That art is super cool.

But yeah, swapping out the sprites or hiding them works fine.

Unfortunately, the built-in sprite mask doesn't work with skinned sprites.

How you deal with it depends on what render path you are using

In built-in, you can use stencil shaders. I URP you can use renderer features for similar effects.

[lilac flax]

ok

this is my actual rigging following what you said for the eyes

[hybrid tinsel]

The eyelid trick might not work as well if the eyelids are behind the eyes, but you can probably get around that.

[lilac flax]

I think yes

[hybrid tinsel]

Usually, I make an extra sprite for bits that go 'in front'

[lilac flax]

so now, I make auto geometry, and after that, auto weights, and then manage bon influence?

[hybrid tinsel]

Auto geometry is often not great for weird shapes like this; I usually draw it from scratch with create vertex and create edge except for simple shapes.

Is the body, including the stalks and mouth and stuff, all one layer?

[lilac flax]

mouth is on the body yes, staks I suppose you mean the big eye, if yes, nop they're on a different layer

it seems okay

[hybrid tinsel]

You're not rigging the mouths?

[lilac flax]

No, when I tried to rig it last time, I saw that by moving some bones of the body, it was enough to make annimations on the mouth it's enough for me I think, it's complicated enough 😂

I'll try the auto geometry and see what happen

ok

I think this is good enough

[hybrid tinsel]

I really wanna see how it comes out

[lilac flax]

I'll send a video here when it will be finish

but the rigs are good !

I'm just a little bad on animations xD

[hybrid tinsel]

If you have any questions feel free to ask 😄

[lilac flax]

I don't know how to ask questions on the animation part, it's just some logic I think

I know how it works, It just hard to me to make some natural movements ahah

[hybrid tinsel]

That is a lot of practice. And sometimes coding and trickery.

Ironically, good cartoony movements can be really hard compared to more realistic ones.

[lilac flax]

I'll do my best

if I make my eyes move on the screen

if I put an hitbox on them for the player to shoot a them

the hitbox will move too?

[hybrid tinsel]

If you attach the hitbox to the bone

Not to the sprite

You can also just animate the hitboxes directly
