Hi,
thank you very much for your feature request. I really appreciate that.

You can do this already:

1. Create a plane in Unity.
2. Make the plane a child of your character's Game Object. If your character is of type "humanoid", place it as a child of the hips bone.
3. Add your character to UMotion's Pose Editor and let UMotion create a configuration for your current setup.
4. Humanoid Only:
   1. Open the config mode, select the plane in the hierarchy and set "Visibility" to "Show" (in the properties tab).
   2. Then switch to the constraints tab and assign a child-of constraint and enable "IK Pinning Mode".
   3. Return to pose mode, move the frame cursor to the first frame, select the Plane and enable "IK Pinned" in the channels view. This ensures that the plane's position is in world-space.
5. Create a key frame on frame 0 with the plane being in the current position.
6. Set the frame cursor to where your walk cycle is going to end approximately and move the plane to the desired end point. Then create a key frame for it.
7. Optional: Set the position curve to linear (to avoid easing in/out of the plane's velocity). Go back to the curves view anytime you want to adjust the velocity of the plane.
8. Before exporting your animation, go into config mode, select the plane and set it's visibility to "locked". This avoids that the plane ends up in the exported animation.

As this is relatively straight forward to do, I currently have no plans to add such a feature to UMotion. I'm sorry.

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

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Yes this is possible:

1. Select the Layer you want to copy.
2. Press CTRL + A to select all keys in the dopesheet of that layer (the Clip Editor window needs input focus).
3. CTRL + C to copy all keys.
4. Open the other clip and create a new layer. The layer needs to be of same type (additive/override) as the source layer.
5. Paste all keys using CTRL + V.

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

Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Example:
Import "Idle" clip
Notice Import clips window shows "Idle" under animation clips:
Delete "Idle" clip
Optional: (Save project, restart umotion, restart unity, etc)
Import "Idle" clip
Notice Import clips window shows "Idle, Idle_1" under animation clips: (should just be 1 "Idle")

I tried to reproduce this starting with a fresh UMotion project following your steps one by one. In my case, it only shows one animation clip named "Idle" at the end. May I ask you to update your UMotion Pro version to the latest one available on the asset store (1.22p11) and then check again if this happens on a fresh UMotion project? If so, may I ask you to record a video so that I can follow your steps more closely (maybe I performed one of the steps slightly different than you did)?

Also, the "About UMotion" window automatically closes when I navigated away from unity to type out the version. Is that intentional?

The intention was to close this window automatically when clicking anywhere outside of the dialog. I notice now that this might be annoying in the case you mentioned and took a note to change this in a future update.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Alexandre,

thank you very much for reaching out.

Please ensure that the "Preview" toggle is enabled in your custom property constraint settings:

In case this doesn't help, may I ask you to send me a unitypackage that includes just everything I need to reproduce your situation (i.e. your UMotion project, the related script and the related character)? You can send it to me via the email support form (or request a link to my Dropbox via email in case the file size is too big).

Btw. if you want you can animate the textures offset directly with a custom property constraint (no need for a custom script):

Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

I just double checked, UMotion Pro is loading fine for me in Unity 2020.1.10f1:

Here are a few tips:

• Make sure all scripts in your project have no compile errors (this includes scripts you've written yourself and scripts from 3rd party assets). To do so, check the console and see if it logs any compile errors. As soon as all compile errors are fixed, Unity can load UMotion.
• Try to restart Unity.
• Delete UMotion from your project (by deleting the "UMotionEditor" folder), and install it again. Maybe something went wrong during the installation process.

Please let me know if you are able to get it working this way, or if I can further assist you somehow.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Please try the following:

1. Open Unity.
2. Go back to your browser and click on the "Open In Unity" button as shown in your screenshot.
3. A dialog should appear in the browser asking for permission if you really want to open Unity --> Confirm.
4. Now the asset store browser should open in Unity showing the UMotion Pro product page.
5. Click on "Download".
6. As soon as the download is finished, click on "Import".

PS: In newer versions of Unity (I think starting with 2020.2) you need to use Unity's package manager for downloading assets from the asset store.

Please let me know in case you need any further assistance.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

UMotion was mainly designed with 3D animations in mind. But generally speaking you can animate anything that has transforms (in the hierarchy). You can also use UMotion's "Custom Property Constraints" to animate any component's properties (e.g. if you have a custom 2D IK script and you want to control it's blend weight property). You can also let UMotion call methods of your custom scripts so that they update the pose even during edit time. This is done via UMotion's callback system (see manual chapter "Pose Editor/Options" headline "Extending UMotion").

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

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

Please check the root motion settings shown in the Inspector of the exported *.anim file (compare them with your original *.anim file):

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