Hi Martin,

thank you very much for your support request.

Yes it's easy to combine the animations in UMotion:

1. Create a UMotion project and assign your character to the Pose Editor.
2. Import all animations, that you want to combine.
3. Open the aim animation and select all keys (CTRL + A in the Clip Editor) and copy them (CTRL + C)
4. Open the first movement animation and create a new animation layer of type override
5. Paste the aim animation keys (CTRL + V) into the new layer
6. Delete all keys of bones you don't want to override
7. Optional: You can play with the blend weight of the layer in case you don't want to 100% override the upper body.
8. Repeat for the other movement animations.

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

Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

1. Create your IK rig outside of UMotion (using Final IK). You need to use dedicated game objects as IK goals (the Final IK gizmos can't be animated by UMotion).
2. Make sure that everything works: Enter play mode and drag the IK targets around. The character should change it's pose properly.
3. Then back in UMotion, set the callback name (Pose Editor --> Options) to "UpdateSolver" (you did that already correctly). UMotion should now be executing the Final IK scripts at edit time.
4. In UMotion's config mode, make the custom IK goals visible (you can also configure their appearance).
5. (Optional) Use custom property constraints to control the properties of the Final IK solver from within your animation.
6. Back in Pose Mode, moving the IK goals should correctly modify your character (like previously in play mode).

Please let me know in case this doesn't work for you.

Best regards,
Peter

I figured out the issue. I don't know why but the Animations Rig tab Animation Type was set to Generic instead of Humanoid. 

Hi,

thank you very much for your support request.

If the animation works correctly after being exported from UMotion (and not using the avatar mask), then UMotion did everything correct (= the animation is OK). So the issue must be related to your animator controller/avatar mask setup. To debug such issues, the easiest way would be to compare the local rotation/local position values of each bone of the not working setup with the working setup. Then you can see at which bone the differences start and then check why that bone is manipulated by the Animator component in such a way. Please note that from the last spine bone on, all bones need to have the correct orientation/position otherwise your hands won't reach the weapon correctly. Maybe your second layer in the animator controller is additive instead of override? Or the blending weight is not 1?

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Chris,

thank you very much for your support request.

I'm not exactly sure why the rotation of your character is offset (therefore I would need to see how you exactly converted the character step-by-step).

Anyway, when you export your animation to *.fbx, you can use the rotation offset in the export settings to fix your issue (click on the "gear" icon):

First choose the bone/transform on which you want to apply the rotational offset. Then use the value fields to add a 90° rotational offset. Click on the "?" icon (on the top right of the UI) to open the corresponding page in the manual to learn more about this feature.

Important: Please always set "Write Mode" to "Update Existing File" and choose your humanoid character's *.fbx file as "destination file". That way UMotion exports the animation directly into your humanoid character's *.fbx file. This ensures that the exported animation plays well with Unity's humanoid animation system.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi,

thank you very much for sharing your idea. I really appreciate that.

I've added it to my list of "ideas for future versions". I use this list as a basis for planning upcoming features.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi,

thank you very much for sharing your idea. Much appreciated.

I've added your idea to my "ideas for future versions" list. Regarding the presets, the closest thing you could do right now would be to create a different UMotion project per preset (e.g. a "walk" project, a "jump" project)...

Best regards,

Hi,
thank you very much for your support request.

The animation re-targeting quality of "humanoid" is largely dependent on how accurate the T-Pose of your character is in the humanoid avatar configuration. If you get re-targeting issues on specific bones (the thumb bones in your case), make sure to adjust the thumb bone in the humanoid avatar configuration to match the T-Pose more accurately:

1. Select your character in Unity's "Project Window".
2. In the "Inspector" window click on "Rig" and then on "Configure...".
3. Now ensure that the bones of your thumb are both highlighted in green (and that their role's are assigned correctly). Then ensure that their pose is correct as described by Unity:

Enlarged version of the picture from the blog post (notice the thumb orientation):

When you've saved your changes of the humanoid avatar, you need to re-export your animation from your UMotion project in order for the changes to be applied to the animation.

Btw. small re-targeting errors are always expected when working with humanoid. That's just in the nature of this animation system (check out the blog post linked above to get a better idea of what humanoid is all about). If you want "pixel perfect" results, use "generic" instead.

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

Hi,

thank you very much for your support request.

The problem with this is, that a generic rig is really just a hierarchy of any sort of bones. Unity/UMotion can not differentiate if a generic rig is a "hand" or e.g. an animal. Thus it is not possible to provide any sort of predefined assistant windows for generic rigs.

Anyway, if you change rotation interpolation mode to "euler" for your finger bones, you can use custom property constraints to control the rotation of the bones. The custom property constraints show up as sliders in the "channels" view and thus offer an animation experience that is closer to what you get from the muscle groups assistance.

This video explains the different rotation modes in UMotion and shows you how to switch to euler interpolation:

Btw. if you're just looking for a nice way to curl all 3 finger bones at the same time, you can use the following feature:

1. Hold shift while selecting the top most ("proximal") finger bone. This automatically selects all child bones too.
2. Use the rotation tool (in local space) to apply a rotation. The rotation is smoothly distributed between all 3 bones making the fingers curl in a natural way (if you rotate in the right direction of course ^^).

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

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,

thank you very much for your support request.

I just double checked, dragging keys seems to work fine for me in UMotion V1.22p05. Can you show me a gif/video of your situation so that I get a better understanding of your specific situation?

Please note that if your rotation keys are in "Progressive Quaternion" or "Quaternion" interpolation mode, you can only drag them left/right (in the curves view). That is intended (for more information please watch the following video tutorial):
