IK Pin visualization

Anonymous 5 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 5 months ago 1

I really love the IK Pinning, it was amazing, but sometime went I forget it was in pin mode(or it is not), and when the animation clip need to switch the pinning mode, I will need to check the whole timeline to make sure the pinning is in the right mode, right now is only possible to click on the transform to check each time.
And I wonder is it possible a way to visualization the transform that is in pinning, changing colors(darker),adding a icon, etc

Hi,
thank you very much for your idea. I like it. I've put it on my list with ideas for the future.

Weapon / item transform axis

Hrohibil 6 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 4 months ago 1

Hello Peter 


i am having issues with a weapon on my humonoid character. I have exposed the weapon / item so it’s visible. 
i must have accidentally patented it wrongly because when I need to make some adjustments to it it’s transform move or rotation gizmos/ axis are not at its correct place but rather on the bottom of the character.

How do I unparent?? 
how do I apply or revert so the item gets its pivot axsis back? 

Answer

Hi Hrohibili,
thank you very much for your support request. Sorry for the late reply I somehow missed your inquiry. Could you show me a video of your situation?


Thank you very much.

Answer

Hi XZ G,
thank you very much for your support request.

If your UMotion project is of type humanoid, be aware that UMotion hides all none humanoid bones by default.

In your humanoid UMotion project, witch into Config Mode and select the additional bone(s). Under the "Properties" tab, set "Visibility" to "Show". This is going to show and include the bone(s) in your animations.

Please let me know in case you have any follow-up questions.

Moving a character that is not vertically oriented straight up.

DavidM 8 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 7 months ago 1

While I am just familiar enough with the Move and Rotation tools to achieve successful edits, I’m still new to animation in general, so I may be about to ask about a tool or technique that doesn’t exist. My apologies if that is the case. I’m looking for a way to move a character straight up from the floor of a scene within a range of frames within a clip, that does not involve moving all three of the position axis by hand. Even though the Move tool has a center grab point that I can use, it also lets me accidentally move the character off to the side as I attempt to move it straight up. 

Because the clip I am editing moves the character in an exercise routine, all of the position axis are constantly changing. Other than adjusting all three axis for every frame I need to adjust, is there a variable, or a control that moves a character strictly vertically other than dragging the character up with the center of the move tool and in all likelihood, having to go back and forth until I get it just right? 

Thanks for your time. 

Answer

Hi David,
thank you very much for your support request.

You can click and drag on one of the arrows of the move tool to limit your adjustment to that specific axis. By switching between "local" and "global" mode you can define if the move tool is oriented along the world space coordinate system (i.e. up points always straight up) or along the object's local coordinate system (i.e. dependent on the objects current orientation).



Please let me know in case you have any follow-up questions.

Umotion instantly crashes my unity project

Вадим Донцов 8 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 7 months ago 3

I bought Umotion some days ago, and it worked really well, i made some animations for my project, but today when i tryied to open my unity project and tryied to close Umotion project unity crashed, everytime when i try to interact with Umotion it crashes. I thought maybe reason in my Umotion project and decieded to delete it. After that unity started to crash instanly when open project, and the only way to fix this

Youtube video

 to delete Umotion folder from the project. I really like this asset and i hope  it wont take to much time to fix this

Answer

Hi,
thanks for your support request. I've looked into your editor log. According to the log, native code (i.e. C++ code) in your project crashed. UMotion only uses C++ code when you are actively exporting to FBX, everything else in UMotion is written in C#. Regular C# code can not directly crash Unity. The log doesn't provide any more information on what exactly happened, but from the log it appears that UMotion is only indirectly involved. The crash itself does not seem to happen in any of UMotion's code. Do you have any other plugins in your project that are written in C++?

Best regards,
Peter

Foot moves on exported animation

superip 8 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 8 months ago 1

I set Foot IK Pinned in the UMotion editor and the foot is fixed as expected.

However, in the exported animation, the feet move.

Foot.zip

Answer

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request. Foot sliding is a common artifact of the Unity humanoid animation system. Enabling the corrective Foot IK pass of the humanoid animation system in Unity (this can only be done via scripting) can counter this problem. More information on the inner workings of humanoid and also touching foot sliding: https://unity.com/de/blog/engine-platform/mecanim-humanoids

Trying to make a demon throw a Fireball

Drew 8 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 7 months ago 1

So I'm trying to make a demon throw a fireball. I have the animation for the body done and now I'm trying to get the Fireball in her hand to be thrown. I tried Parenting it to her hand but it still follows her hand. How would I do this animation?

Answer

Dear Drew,
thank you very much for your support request.

One possible approach would be to animate the throwing animation without any fireball in the hand. Then create and parent the fireball via script. You can use animation events to trigger the creation and throwing/releasing of the fire.

Please let me know in case you have any follow-up questions.

Best regards,

Unable to hide curves in Unity 6

Anonymous 8 months ago updated by Peter - Soxware Developer 4 months ago 6

Hello,

I'm unable to hide a curve by clicking the eye icon in the clip editor. Nothing happens when I left click on the eye. The same is true for the cog in the header. I'm able to right click, just not left click.

Image 1463

Answer

Quick update: We've finally been able to find a workaround for this issue that could be implemented in UMotion. The fix is included in the latest UMotion update V1.29p04. The update is currently pending asset store review and should be available in the next few days.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the long waiting time.

Peter
