Hi,

As the title states, when using IK it causes the shoulder bones to twist during the animation, while if I leave it on FK, then the bones are not twisting.

I would like to modify this animation slightly, but given the twisting when trying to use IK, it doesn't appear that I am able to since FK isn't letting me modify all of the transforms?

Hi there,

for a few days now I could not open Animation Projects. I always get this error.

This happens on different project files, not just one. The File - Restore Project from Backup is greyed out. "Ignore" doesn't work, I have to click it many times until I can work again and then everything is bugged. Restarting doesn't work either. So I thought I'd report this bug here :-)

What can I do?

Best,
Jens

I've been using UMotion for around a year now and I love it. It's intuitive, the additive and override layers are super useful for adding slight changes to existing animations and the widgets for moving groups of bones (spine, fingers, ...) is without a doubt top notch.

One thing that I find myself doing a lot is creating a "character pose" that looks good and then add an additive layer on top to slightly modify the different bones to add breathing, fingers twitching, etc... Basically a simple way to add idle poses and more organic cycles.

Would you consider adding some sort of Perlin noise modifier for additive layers? So we can add noise to each bone individually.

If you do, here's some thoughts about how to do it: One could select the range of frames at which to apply the noise to a bone/bones. Then, a window appears and you can preview the result, allowing you to modify the strength, speed and magnitude of the noise. Once you click apply, the noise is baked onto each frame of the range. What I am not sure about doing is making so that the end of the frame should match the beginning position, so it's easier to make loopable animations.

Also, inside the options, it would be cool to have access to the "seed" of the perlin noise and being able to apply an offset. That way, one could animate a breathing, while using the same seed, but slightly offsetting it to make the arms follow up the animation a bit behind.

Thanks and have a great week!

hi peter hope you are ok

is there anything i can do about this

i have a object generic that i animate in umotion(better than sliced bread)

all works great save the clip

open time line add the clip to the object

but it starts from position 0 

not were i started it in umotion yes i can move it in the timeline offset but if its rotated at a strange angle it can get impossible to match it up its probably something i'm doing wrong here's a short video to show you what i mean

I get this error message when I start UMotion Pro for the first time in Unity:

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'ΊΉΊΊΊΊΊΊΊΉΊΉΉΉΉΊΊΊΊΉΊΊΊΊΉΉΊΊΉΉΊΉΉΊΊΊΊΊΉΊΉΊΊΉΊΊΊ' from assembly 'UMotionEditor, Version=1.0.7484.14450, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

What error is this, will it still work?
I hope it will still work!

Hey Peter,

I have 4 directional movement animations and an aiming animation. When I use animation layers from Unitys animator, the characters rotation is way off. Do you have a recommended way of how I can use UMotion to combine the aim and walking animations into a single animation. Basically I want to use the aim animation from the torso upward and the walking animations for feet and rootmotion. 

Thank you :)

Hi There ! I would like to understand how to properly make use of UMotion Pro, along with Final-IK. I mainly aim to take advantage of Final-IK's "Biped IK Solvers" to create the key poses needed by the animations even more easily & faster. I've tried to add the CallBack "UpdateSolver" as mentioned in the docs... but didn't see any changes... please help !

I receive the following warning message when I select my character I've applied an animation to that I created in UMotion ...

When I start the game my character immediately falls through the stairs halfway (only when the animation is applied) ...

Disclaimer : This is my first attempt to use UMotion and I've only been using Unity for a month. The animation plays just how I want when I view it in UMotion, but when I carry it into Unity and view the scene with the game running the above happens.

Hello.
I animated some characters with uMotion and in particular with child-of constraint option.
Here's what I've done

Basically the rifle attached to right hand (weapon is child of a bone called "WeaponJnt" that is contained in imported skeleton. I did this just as I learned from another topic I made where I added the weapon transform as new transform in prefab, but now i created a new bone in Autodesk Maya, so I'm using an humanoid skeleton with an extra bone)

Everything works just great when I just animate the character with Mechanim, without using Avatar Masks (As you can see, rifle became child of constraint of left hand, so even if weapon is under an extra bone it get recognized from animation):

However I still have the same problem I had when i was using a new transform instead of an extra bone as weapon transform; The mask dosn't get applied on the rifle transform, wich dosn't get animated and dosn't follow left hand during animation.
Mask seems correctly implemented.

After watching tons of similar posts I guess this should be working quite good;The animation can see and animate the extra bone, bvut the mask, even if the bone is imported, visible and ticked, got ignored. 
Also the name, parent transform etc of the imported extra bone haven't been modified in character prefab.

I got the Orc character from Maksim Burgrimov. The conversion from generic to humaniod works great and the animations are working also. The strange thing is the character postion is off. Instead of standing it's sideways. Is there a setting that I need to do? First time using Umotion but looked at the video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxn24UKtw4A ) for help.
