Is it possible, for example, place non-rigged (without armature) model on the scene then create skeleton rig for it and bind it by automatic weight (like in blender) inside unity with this asset, or the only way is to create rig in 3d model software and import it into Unity?

When I'm looking at the animation at the scene tab, all works. 

Camera preview also shows animation playing correctly. 

But, when I switch to the Game tab, the animation is not playing, objects are kinda "freezed" . 

I've tried reimporting assets and Umotion Pro but this didn't work either.

What could cause this problem and how to resolve this?

Trying to create my first animation and looking to animate only specific key frames so that they are 'added' on top of the currently playing animation.

Thank you.

Doing Export All Clips, I got a message about a clip not having a name. I might have deleted Clip1 before adding the clips I wanted (I could not find the rename clip so I just started again).

Note: I cannot copy the "log" text so tried to capture a screenshot instead.

All the clips in the drop down list have names.

It exported all the clips I can select in the drop down list, but failed for an extra 8th one which is not shown in the dropdown list.

Not a big deal, just letting you know.

This feels like a bug. I created a "Generic" project, I created a dummy object and added the scripts I wanted to animate properties for. I set that is the pose object. It created the root transform/rotate/scale properties. In Configuration/Properties I set "Properties:" to "Nothing". That made transform/rotate/scale go away. I then added a Custom Property constraint.

The problem is sometimes it will not let me change the "Name:" field for the custom property, other times it does.

At first it felt like only every second one would let me change it. Then I wondered if it was it worked if I changed the value before setting "Mode:" to "Component Property" then it worked. Finally I gave up - it just feels random of whether it will let me change the "Name:" field. I just added 5 in a row and none of them let me change it.

After restarting Unity however it started behavior properly again... so reporting in case useful to you, but an easy workaround (restart Unity). May be its a Unity internal bug.

I am making progress! But if I understand by looking at the exported clips in the Unity animation clip panel, it looks like clips are exported with all properties, not just the ones that are keyed in the clip. I want to create clips for different subsets of properties so I can have a clip "Eyes Left" which only animates the eyes. Then I can layer this on top of other clips so walking I can add "Eyes Left" and keep the rest of the normal clip.

I was wondering if the correct approach was to remove the unwanted properties, then "Save Reference Pose" (?), but I could not work out how to remove the properties that it picked up from the Humanoid bones.

I don't want to use a Generic project type as then I cannot load up my character and do the animations on it - it tells me I must use a humanoid project for humanoid characters. I guess I could try and trick it with a proxy object or something...?

For eyes, because I have a script controlling them (custom properties) I only want to capture the custom properties for the "Head" layer (that is where I added the custom constraints, alongside the other blendshapes). Oh, and I don't want the blendshapes included either - I want to create a separate set of clips for blendshape controls (for different facial expressions).

I am planning to create a project per layer of clips - e.g. on project for eye overrides, one for facial expressions (blendshapes and textures), one project for hand positions, etc. I am hoping I can then define different sets of properties per project (put all the hand position clips in the hand project, put all the eye clips in the eye project, etc).

Then the final timeline I pick a full body clip (e.g. walking or sitting, and start layering expressions, eye control, head turns, and hand pose etc clips in override tracks in the Unity timeline).

Is this possible?

I found the section of the manual describing how to add custom component property constraints. But when I go to add a new constraint, the button is deactivated so I cannot add a new constraint. It did add all the blendshapes successfully when loading the character, but I cannot work out how to add a new one.

I create a new project of type Humanoid (because character is humanoid), import the FBX file, then in the Pose panel I go to Config Mode, under Configuration I pick "Constraints". The button is not active, so I cannot add a new one.

I have a component on the character with a float property I want to animate. I tried creating a "Generic" project, but then it refused to load the character saying it was humanoid.

I always want resample total animation play speed by a animation curve , make origin animation clip change the rhythm to what I want .

Although this can be achieved by changing the animator playback speed , but I think changing the animation file is a more accurate, quick and easy solution .

Is any way UMotion can do this ? or some tips ? 

Thanks so much .

Hello,So let me explain Im Creating  Humanoid Animations with guns for my game 
My guns are rigged as generic gameobjects and they are parent of the RHand

When I Export the .anim files Everything works fine,

but when I change the name of the weapons the animations doesnt work anymore

I want to have different prefabs such as M4A1-HoloGraphic , M4A1-IronSight etc for a single weapon

is there any way that I can have different names and still have my animations working without making animations for every single prefab ? since i have rigged guns thought its ok to change name of the gameobjects

Hi, we are working on a VR simulator (using FULL BODY IK on the character) and we need to add a few simple animations to the hand but we do not get 100% accurate finger bone rotations even though the character is in a perfect T-Stance and all bones are correctly set-up and recognized by Mecanim. We strictly followed Unitys rigging recommendations.

Inside your tool the animation (a simple grab animation)  looks perfect but once exported to an .anim file some fingers looks different (little finger is 10 degree more right, thumb rotation is 20 degree too much left). It seems to affect mostly the the last finger-tip part. This inaccuracy is probably not a big deal if one does a game for desktop but in VR it looks kind of weird when one or two fingers looks unnatural when you see it very close. It breaks the immersion. We are not sure if this is a unity problem or a Blender related problem (even inside of Blender the animation looks 100% accurate as well as inside your tool).

We were hoping to bypass this problem with your tool since it's integrated with Unity.

We don't understand the fact that the preview inside your timeline is correct but once exported and added to Mecanim the result is different. We can't see the logic behind this behavior nor do we have a clue to bypass it.

Switching to generic is no solution since we are using FINAL IK on the body. 

We are running out of solutions (and nervs) :)

Thanks for your help!
