I'm sure this question can be found in the forum, and I've seen similar questions in the comments of tutorial videos on YouTube.

I think (and I personally agree) that many people will try this feature because it is one of the most attractive features that Umotion has to offer.
So it would be nice to have detailed instructions, but I'll leave you with a translation of what I wrote in Japanese.

I saw the file "PickUpAnimation" in UMotionProjects in UmotionSample.

I also want to reproduce this, so I created a new Project with a new humanoid
I prepared a character, added a sphere and added it to PoseEditor.

There is a sphere in ConfigMode, I tried to display this in Visibility in properties, but I got an error.
English is not my native language, so I translated it through Google Lens and it says, "You have a sphere in the parent hierarchy, please put it in the child hierarchy."
That seems to be what it says.

At this time, I noticed that in the You Tube tutorial video, the object labeled "Hip" is a generic joint/bone, and mine was a humanoid bone.
Mine was a humanoid bone.

I checked Robot Kyle's Avatar and noticed that the object labeled Hip was there, but not mapped anywhere.

I thought this might be the cause, so I checked the Avatar I was using, and the object named Hip in this Character is definitely a humanoid bone.
I will try to recreate Robot Kyle, and for the character I cost, I should be able to just Mapping the Armature at the top level of Hips to Hip.

Create a new Project, prepare a character, add a Sphere and add it to PoseEditor.
What do you think, it worked fine.

I spent about 5 days before I noticed the difference in this Hip.
I hope this post will be useful for beginners who are learning child of constraint and encounter the same difficulties.

I usually go through the cycle of exporting > importing and tweaking fk and then applying IK all over again, putting pins on every foot/hand (one by one cause else the keyframes are messed up) and I still get arms or legs flipping out (sometimes without a keyframe, you can only see it when playing the animation, even deleting it doesnt get the flip out and the same flip is in the export file)

A lot of the times the pole vectors also ruin the animations, FK/IK conversion is absolutely not similar, it costs completely unnecessary time/energy to fix everything again and again over and over...

Been having this problem for months now, and it's been happening a lot more lately

Please let me know how to prevent/fix this Peter

Hi, I'm just getting started with Umotion Pro and learning how to use it.

I have a dragon and would like to learn how to modify the animations and blend shapes that comes with the dragon.  I noticed that in one of Umotion's promo video where you show a dragon being modified by Umotion.  I looked for a tutorial with the dragon but couldn't find it.  Can you send a link please, cheers

Wanting to take advantage of animation retargeting and making humanoid animations for multiple humanoid rigs, however, I'm at a loss for creating an animation that can move the hip/root bone *without* causing root motion.

I'm unsure how to properly describe it, but I'm trying to animate crouching, squats, dancing for example on a loop, but most tutorials out there regard *applying* root motion rather than working without it. Disabling root motion on the controller results in the animation being looped in place (hip bone frozen in the air, limbs moving around it), when I would like to have my rig engage in the full range of movement- and take advantage of IK-pinning in the animation process.

Am I missing a step to manipulate the root transforms, or fully disable root motion? Or is there a way to have an animation manipulating a root bone (the hip, in my case) *restart* and loop from it's original, initial position?

I notice several threads with the same issue but they are a couple of years old, so I decide to report a new one

Mac OS Monterey, Unity 2019.4 LTS, uMotion v1.29

In the editor, I animate and the bones show everything normally, well, after export,
 the bones rotate and look different. How to make animation normal?

Hey Peter, 

I just wanted to say that the new update is incredible and it's saved me so much work already. The other issues that I had with timeline are now fixed as well and imports have been going smoothly. 

I just want to say thank you and I can't help but ask out of curiousity if you feel comfortable to share a bit on what the new upcoming features might hold. 

Anything specific you are working on already and that we can look forward to?

An insane amount of gratitude,

Best,

David

Hi, is there a shortcut to navigate to the previous/next frame (not keyframe) in the clip editor? I sometimes find myself making plenty of very precise and minuscule edits.

When navigating the Rig Hierarchy (and possible other similar menus) in the Pose Editor, it is not possible to navigate and expand/collapse using arrow keys. You need to click the slots.

It's a small thing, but I think it'd make my workflow less tedious if we could use arrow keys to navigate.

I've been editing mixamo animations (and creating new ones) on Synty avatars. While it recognises everything else fine, the face bones (eyebrows, eyeballs) do not appear on the rig, which is limiting. What can I do? Thanks
