Hi,

thank you very much for your support request.

You can edit generic bones in a humanoid project, it's just not enabled by default.

To enable editing of a generic bone in a humanoid project, switch into config mode. Select the generic bone you want to enable from the rig hierarchy. Under the properties tab, set "Visibility" to "Show".

The reason for it not being enabled by default is because when you use humanoid, you usually use it because you want to use animation re-targeting (i.e. use the same animation on multiple different characters). Because that's the only real benefit you get from using humanoid. When combining a humanoid animation with animated generic bones, these generic bones would not be re-targeted (as they are, generic and not humanoid) thus loosing the only real benefit of humanoid.

Pro-tip:

So in your case, it would most probably make more sense to entirely switch to generic (as you seem not to use animation re-targeting). Humanoid comes with quality trade-offs (and some small performance penalties) that you can get rid of by using generic instead. On the plus side, humanoid has the muscle tool assistant in umotion that allows you to animate e.g. fingers by using simple sliders. To use the best of both worlds, you could also continue using your humanoid UMotion project for animating, but then export your animation to FBX which you then configure as generic.

Of course if you do not have any quality issues with humanoid, feel free to continue using it.

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

Hi Adrian,

thank you very much for reaching out and for your interest in UMotion.

Unfortunately there are currently no plans to create a lite version of UMotion. Please note that the asset store is often holding sales where you can grab UMotion at 50% off (or even less). So keep an eye on the asset store page if you want to grab UMotion at a reduced price.

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

Best regards,

Hey,
thank you very much for your support request.

This is how I usually copy a pose:

1. Click on the master key of the frame you want to copy the pose (this is the key at the very top). This selects all keys at this frame. It also selects all the bones that relate to those keys.
   
   
   Special case: If you are missing some keys on this specific frame, you would immediately see this by some bones not being selected. You would need to create keys for those bones, otherwise those bones pose will be ignored in the copy process. If you don't want to add keys to an existing animation, you could create a duplicated version of that clip just for the purpose of grabbing animation poses from it:
   
   
2. [Optionally] Deselect bones you don't want to copy (if you e.g. only want to copy an upper body pose, deselect all the leg bones). You can do this by holding [STRG] and clicking on a selected bone in the scene view OR by holding [STRG] and clicking on a selected animated property in the animated properties list.
3. Once you have your selection, press CTR+C to copy the keys.
4. Switch to your target animation.
5. Move the frame cursor at the desired position.
6. Press CTRL + V to past the keys.

This method requires that you selection synchronization enabled (which it is by default):

Pro Tip: If you re-use a lot of poses, create a "pose libary". An animation clip in your project that contains all the poses one after the other. Make sure that each pose is well-defined (i.e. it contains keys for every bone).

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

Hey,
thank you very much for reaching out.

Unfortunately there is currently no way to copy/paste the position and rotation at the same time. I've added this to my to-do list.

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

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Your animation is an "In-Place" animation. Meaning that when it moves, it does not move the red center point with it. In your case what you would like to use instead is a so called "Root-Motion" animation. That type of animation does move the center point.

Is your character of type "humanoid"? In that case, select the *.anim file and make sure that the "Bake Into Pose" setting of the "Root Transform Position (XZ)" is disabled. That should make the center move with the character. 

Also make sure to have "Root Motion" enabled in the Animator Component of your character in-game (in your actual scene) for this to work.

Here is Unity's documentation of the root motion settings: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AnimationClip.html#ClipProperties

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

Hi,

thank you very much for your support request.

So i just want to edit motion without ik.
i want to pin these foots and move body up. is there way to only move body? because all bones follow body when i move hip(spine).

What you described is exactly the purpose of IK :-) You need IK in order to do that.

Next animation is changed suddenly like this

Just for clarification, with "next animation" you mean one of the following frames/poses within the same animation clip, right?

From the screenshots, I can only make some guesses:

You need to be careful when changing the IK pinning state during the animation. This can affect the following (already existing) keys of your IK target. When IK pinning is enabled, all following position/rotation keys of your IK handle are treated as "world space". While when IK pinning is disabled, the following position/rotation keys of your IK handle are treated as "local space". When you change the pinning state, UMotion automatically asks you (with a dialog) if it should convert the following keys.

When you don't correctly update your keys position/rotation values to match the IK pinning state (e.g. pinning is on but keys are in local space) you get wrong poses.

This is also explained in the child-of video tutorial (IK pinning is just a special mode of the child-of constraint):

Here is also the IK pinning video tutorial for completeness:

It's a bit hard for me to tell you exactly what happens just from static screenshots. If you need any further help, please record a video that first shows the complete working animation, then edit one frame/pose and then show me how that affected the pose on other frames. Then I can tell you exactly why this and that happened :-)

Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Yes you can do that by using Unity Timeline and sync UMotion with Unity Timeline. I tested the following in Unity 2020.3. Audio scrubbing might not be available in old Unity versions. Here's how to do that:

1. Create an empty GameObject in your scene and add an audio source component to it.
2. Open Unity Timeline (Window --> Sequencing --> Timeline).
3. Make sure your empty GameObject is selected and then click on the create button in Unity Timeline to create a new sequence.
4. Click on the "plus" button and select "Audio Track".
5. Right click on the empty track and select "Add From Audio Clip". Then select the audio clip you want to add.
6. Make sure that audio scrubbing is enabled by going into "Edit --> Preferences":
   
7. Make sure that your character is assigned to the UMotion pose editor.
8. Place the timeline window and the clip editor window next to each other. In case timeline isn't displaying your sequence, select your empty GameObject again in the scene view.
   
9. Then click on "Sync --> Timeline Window --> No Offset" in the UMotion clip editor. Now the frame cursor of UMotion's clip editor and Unity Timeline move in sync thus also the audio is previewed in sync.
   

PS: In case audio preview isn't working, make sure that "Mute Audio" is disabled in the game view:

Hi Noah,

thanks for your support request.

Unfortunately there is no such feature in UMotion but I've took a note at my "ideas for the future" list. 

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

Peter
