Hi @SoxwareInteractive

Firstly thanks for making such a great and essential tool, we've found nothing else like it on the store.

We've been getting a bit deeper into integrating it into our workflow pipeline and hitting some issues which I was hoping to ask you about to see what workarounds there might be or what we can do differently.

When exporting animations to an FBX we need to be using the option to export to an existing FBX to gain the benefits of an embedded humanoid avatar, however it's undesirable for us that the animation clips are added to the FBX for various reasons and have found no direct way to remove them once they've been added, the only way we have found is by reverting the FBX. The current way we deal with this problem is that we listen for the OnPostprocessAnimation event, once clips hit an FBX we use an editor coroutine to delay a frame and then we export the clip/s into individual .anim files and then revert changes to the FBX, noting that we use a coroutine because we have very limited use any AssetDatabase create or delete methods while post processing events are firing, Unity throws errors if we use these API's during the post processing events. I have tried many other ways during the post processing event to try and intercept the clips from being added or delete them, but nothing seems to work for us, even the integrated Unity way of removing animations via the inspector is as you may know only hiding the sub assets, it's not really deleting the clips.

The main reasons we don't want the FBX increasing in size is because it will end up with hundreds of animation clips, many of which will become outdated animations we no longer need to use. Loading this FBX at runtime will be a drain on memory and it removes our ability to manage which clips are compiled into our apps.

What we ideally wish we could do is a hybrid of your export options where we can choose an FBX containing an avatar to influence the export, but it exports to an individual file rather than being added to the FBX. If that is not possible I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to remove the animation clips UMotion adds or prevent them from being added to the FBX in the first place? we've exhausted ideas trying to solve this and I'm hoping you have a simple solution for us, it would greatly improve our how we use UMotion as part of our tool chain.

Thanks!

I got this message when trying to animate my avatar, after clicking ok, my avatar appear to lay on the ground face downward. I want to animate with original pose, so I clicked apply scene pose. 

After animation is done, I exported animation file but I find the clip is animate like the character face downward. How to fix this?

I'm wondering how to add animation curves to created animations for altering parameter values in the animator while the clip is playing.  Mecanim has this at the bottom of the animation clip, but I don't see it on any clips that if have created from Umotion.  I'm having trouble googling answers because I'm just getting information on the curves between animation keys.

Hey there, I am looking for a way to add the difference of two poses to the Additive layer. The thought behind this is, I have an idle animation, and I have a take-damage animation. They are nearly identical, except the arms are improperly positioned on the latter. What would correct this is if I could add an additive layer to the second animation, adjusted until the first frame matches the starting frame of the idle animation. This way the fist and last frames of both animations match each other and the take-damage animation still plays relative of its base layer. Copying the keys from the base layer to an additive layer of course does not work, and overriding the pose of the arms will mean his arms wont move relative of the base layer. Am I missing something? Is there another way to go about this? Thank you.

When the Clip Editor window is closed. In the Pose Editor, add a button to open the Clip Editor below the warning text.

Conversely, even when the Pose Editor window is closed, it would be nice to be able to open it with a button in the Clip Editor window.

Hello after edit arms and export  the char is like floating ... any idea why? thx^^

Floating Video

Hello Peter,

First of all, thank you for this great product, UMotion Pro makes it so much easier for me to author animations quickly in Unity rather than using Blender (although I miss the ability to use NLAs, if you ever want to add a new big feature, that would be a good candidate *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*).

It seems that since Unity 5, we are able to write an animation event handler method in the code with an "AnimationEvent" parameter instead of an int, string or float. This is great for blended Animators so you can finally know what animation clip sends the event, and more importantly, what weight is the Animator layer at that time. That way, when your Animator uses a blend tree, blending between two "walk" animations, for example (one slow and one fast, or a walk and a run, or whatever you can think of), you can decide what sound to play and no longer have two sounds play at the same time, or at least the same code being run twice. This information comes from MecanimDev himself : https://forum.unity.com/threads/mecanim-5-blend-tree-animation-event-called-twice.318747/#post-2071893 (yes that post is 7 years old).

However, UMotion Pro does not seem to offer that option yet. It is possible to do it, but we get a small warning icon on the animation event in the UMotion Clip Editor because it wants either a void, or an int, or a float or a string. In practice, the handler still does its job so this is not really a problem, but the warning icon is a bit distracting.

Would it be possible for UMotion to detect whether the name of the function we write in the animation event window matches an event handler with the AnimationEvent parameter so it knows we really mean to use that function and this is not a typo please?

PS: When looking at the About window, I saw Pärtel in the Special Thanks section, which is nice except his name is "Lang", not "Lange" :)

Hallo!
Nachdem ich die Animation Exportiert habe, und die Scene abspielen lasse, ist mein Character nicht mehr in Sync mit der Animation. Woran liegt das?

Im Clip Editor beim Abspielen des Clips funktioniert alles so wie es soll.

i have a question regarding uMotion, i have some characters that require some joints to only rotate in one axis and another joint to always aim at another joint. arms such as these dont work properly without some axis restrictions

There is a bug in the Clip Window, it's not drawing correctly on Linux Ubuntu, I can't rename the clip name neither clip on any of the toggle options.
