Hi,

I have a number of motion capture animations that start with a T-Pose that's oriented in-line with one of the depth cameras used for motion capture, which determines the orientation of the global coordinates. These animations then include some exercise animations that are performed diagonally and offset from the origin, based on the location of an exercise mat, and maximising visibility from multiple cameras.

I have a number of these animations which I want to have a consistent origin and rotation that corresponds to the center of an exercise mat.

I've seen others asking similar questions and I have experimented with the possibility of using an additive layer or translating the x/y/z position key frames and converting the pelvis rotations to euler and translating the euler component key frames.

The problem with those options is that they are applying the rotations in the wrong coordinate space - the coordinates of the pelvis, but I'm simply trying to rotate everything in global coordinates.

I want to effectively rotate/translate the root bone, not add a local-coordinate rotation to the pelvis for every frame.

Currently I can manage the translation with an additive layer ok, but if I try and rotate everything then I end up tilting my whole animation instead of rotating everything in global/world coordinates.

This feels like it must be a common requirement to be able to rotate an animation to fixup its orientation so I'm hoping there's some trick I'm missing here?

Any help much appreciated!

Perhaps this is me just being dumb, but because I can't technically select any bone in the hierarchy, only within the clip editor itself, I cannot focus the camera on a bone (shortcut: F). Thus I am not able to orbit my camera around easily to see what I am doing. This seems like basic functionality so I am most likely missing something but would appreciate some help if possible. 

Hi

I'm following the IK tutorial 

but for some reason when I create the custom transfer it doesn't show the gizmo:

If I use custom joint I can see the sphere gizmo.

Is there something wrong with my setup or is this a bug?

Hello everyone.  I just bought the Pro version.  In the Unity Asset Store, it lists one of the Pro Features as NEW: FBX Export (Windows and Mac OSX only) .... use animations created in UMotion in 3D modeling applications.  I have followed the steps in the tutorial video for exporting an FBX, but I am running into problems when trying to import the FBX into Blender.  Namely, some frames of the animation are dropped (24 in UMotion to 21 in Blender), and there are no bones or mesh included in the FBX.  Only a hierarchy of empties.  So my question is, has anyone successfully exported animations to Blender?  If so, what steps did you take?  Thanks for any assistance.

I posted a while back asking for script access to various functions like finger curl, IK sliders, pinning, etc.  I asked for this because I was developing an input system to control various things in unity on an iPad.  Development started because I was using UMotion to animate fingers and ended up cramping my hand pretty badly due to the constant slider manipulation involved.

I then developed an input a set of tools on iPad (and android) to aid in my animation needs.  It currently works just fine in Unity animation and timeline, but I would really like this to work in UMotion.

The hands animation is to scale of my own hands on an iPad Pro but its still great on a regular iPad.  It can read the current frame's finger curl settings and present them on the interface for easy modification.

Hi,

I've been using UMotion for about 2 months and so far it's been very usefull.

There are few things however that could be improved.

1. Interchanging background for each track in clip editor - sometime it's hard to tell which keys are from which properties.

2. After clicking 'Add Layer' button, the text could be selected, so I could name it (now I have to select the text on the popup). Also, the Enter button doesn't work as OK, so it needs to be pressed with a mouse.

3. Changing speed of parts of animation - now I need to delete every other key and manually move following keys to achieve that.

Thanks

I can´t figure out how to use dynamic bones with umotion...or umotion pro does not support dynamic bones?

Hi!

I Just have a quick question: I made a lot of Animations with Umotion for my character but then later on decided I needed to change the scale of the FBX in the import settings. Now the animations are broken and give me really scary looking results. Is there a way how I can fix this?

(I know I could just revert the import scale to the same it was when I first created the animations but I am going to use many different character models that are going to be sharing these animations and so I would really rather control all of their scales through the import settings than through different scales in the scene)

I would be very glad for any ideas! Thank you!

Hi,

First many thanks for this awesome plugin!

I have an issue when exporting an humanoid animation to FBX when using override layers. If I don't use any override layer, the hips  orientation (red arrow in the Unity animation preview window) points in the expected direction. As soon as I add an override layer, even without any keyed frame, the red arrow always point forward, and the feet of the character start moving around. The effect is if the hip was still and the feet compensate the movement, loosing al the foot floor placement. The issue doesn't happen if I export to anim file. Many thanks

I am using the layers functionality in the Clip Editor to create variations of a single base animation. My base animation clip has 5 layers on it that modify the movement of some bones to add variety to the original motion. I would like to be able to Mute and un-Mute layers from my script.

My current workflow is to duplicate the current clip (with all the layers), then mute the specific layers differently on the different duplicate clips, then export them to create 5 modified animations. However, if I need to modify the base animation clip I have to delete all the duplicate clips, then re-duplicate them from the base clip, then mute the specific layers differently, then re-export them as separate animations.

Is there a way to mute and un-mute layers from script? If not is there a less manual workflow for creating many animations?

Thank you for the help!
