Hello, I am having troublles porting over thing from the faded away program Virtuanimator. Looks like I have an issue with bones. When porting them in your software mentions there are / slashes in file or missing hip bone or a list of things.

Could you suggest a program that can help repair this?  Everything worked 4 years ago then UNITY updated the software and killed everything when upgrading ... I am glad you software is giving me some idea what it is

Hi,

When creating a new animation with UMotion, using an existing animation as a “base”, which skeleton is the resulting animation mapped to?

is it mapped to the character you’re using or the skeleton from the animation you started with?

Basically, I’d like to us UMotion Editor to tweak and modify animations for a given skeleton and then export them out to use in other tools, but those other tools require the animation and model to share a skeleton.

HI there, I'm practising with UMotion while trying to edit a timeline animation where a character jumps from the top of a building and hits the floor. 

I particularly like the way UMotion can edit the animation in place/synch with the timeline etc.   

The problem I've got is that the character falls way short of the ground (about 5 metres), so I've added an additive layer and moved the hips down so that the character hits the floor instead of landing above it (in thin air)

At the moment, the character needs a bit of fine-tuning, but he's basically on the ground! 

So, this is great, I export the animation (as an anim file) and check it out on the Unity Timeline.  Everything looks good - the character is in the right position before making his jump, just as in the UMotion editor, he jumps......

.....but lands about a foot off the floor - floating again, although not as far off as the original, so I know it's the animation I've exported.   

Yet, if I reload the animation into UMotion again, it's fine.   What am I doing wrong, or how I can get around this problem?  Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

One of the tasks that I find ends up consuming the most time when I use UMotion Pro to clean up and edit mocap data is having to manually decimate and simplify key frames in areas that I need to edit so that the curves becomes practical to tweak and adjust.

I understand that UMotion Pro is resampling the whole animation via Unity's Humanoid model, (I'm also using UMotion Pro to convert a humanoid FK animation to IK) but is their perhaps some way to apply a more aggressive/lossy (ideally configurable error tolerance) key frame reduction after this resampling happens?

I can't find a way, but alternatively it could be good if there were some way to export a clip to fbx in such a way that the same fbx could then be re-loaded to replace the key frames of the original clip. I.e. instead of importing an fbx into a new clip, you could ask UMotion Pro to reload an fbx (that was previously exported) into an existing clip without any resampling. This way it would be possible to also edit the key frames in an external tool like Blender where I could decimate the key frames but then handle the rest of the clean up in UMotion Pro.

Any ideas for being able to decimate key frames after importing a new clip would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

I've been googling and searching the site.  I can find links.to videos, but no manual.

Whats the.URL for the manual?

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.
