Hi, I have this rope with 35 bones and when I move one, they all move (and not in the way I want them to). 

In comparison, with a character model, when a bone is moved in a model, the other bones "adjust" in a nice way. Sorry for the newbie description.

This rope with 35 bones is a child of the fishing pole, which is working fine as a child to the hand of the model. That all animates fine. 

As you can imagine, I want to drag individual bones of the "rope" and have the others fall into place in a curve.

But when I move any of these 35 bones in the rope, they all move in exact formation. It is like I am moving all 35 at the same time. Not just one. How do I set it so I can drag certain bones up, and the others will adjust as a "chain" and not move all together?

If you want me to post a video of what it is doing, I can. Hopefully this explanation is clear.

When importing an animation into UMotion Pro to edit, it's common that, say, a thigh bone may create 100 points on the timeline. If I want to keep the animation but move the leg right a bit, do I need to update 100 points individually, or is there a way to select all, and offset them all right by the same amount? Thank you

It there a way to rotate the pelvis and lock  the thigh, calf and foot from rotating with the pelvis. When I made an animating where the girl go from lying to sitting it looks not good when I rotate only the spine bones.

Hey Peter, GameDevDave here again,

So this happens a lot:

The animation type Humanoid/Generic does not matter, IK seems to flip out of sync, sometimes without a keyframe or curve to correct. 

It shows up in the export too.

It happens sometimes after baking FK to IK or when turning on pinning.

There are workarounds such as re-keying the frame or redoing a bake, there's no other way to go about it as far as I know and it is very time consuming.

Sometimes it 'does' show up in the keyframes, in the graph editor there will be extreme spikes, sometimes oddly enough multiple keyframes in a row, and they need to be fixed by dragging them up or down to fit the rest of the curve. 

How to solve this?

The character model that I'm working with is using a naming convention that uses slashes to seperate words rather than underscores. When I try to import this model into the pose editor I get a warning message stating that I need to rename the bones. Is there a workaround?

Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for your product and your support.

I was wondering if the Animated Properties could be sorted. For instance, I am trying to animate a soldier with a weapon. I already imported the clip, I just need to adjust the position of the rifle so that it looks normal and does not enter the mesh. For this, I just need to tweak the rifle, and both hand IKs. It would be helpful to either hide other properties, or click and drag the properties to the top so that I do not need to search for the property that I need to adjust every time I tweak one property and go to the next. But when you have 30 different bones you need to scroll through, it can be time consuming.

Please let me know if that is already an option. I have tried hiding the bones in the Rig Hierarchy but they still show up in the Animated Properties. 

Thank you

Is it possible to have multiple characters that are all humanoid and rigged the same in a single project then just select the character in the pose editor then select any of the animations in the clip editor for the animation one wants?

My thinking is if all the characters are the same then I should able to just switch the clips around.

I have a vehicle object. I made simple animation for translation and rotation. Then, I exported the animation as FBX. Then, this warning pops up resulting in my exported animation only move in place.
