How can I match "umotion" with modeling that is already rigging?
Is there a related tutorial?

Hi! 

I'm currently working on a project making idles, based on mocap data. Even though the pose is generally the same, it's always a bit offset. Is there any way to use a mix of overlay and additive in the layers? I want the pose from clip 1 to be the same as clip 2, and this would work fine if I could paste the first keyframes from clip 1 into a layer in clip two, and have the animations play from the retargeted animation.

When using additive, the character is going wild, as it's adding the old + new keyframes. When using overlay, the pose is correct, but nothing is playing. I'm trying to find the easiest way to copy main poses between clips, as it's quite a few that needs to be done.

Thank you in advance! 

I have an animation clip that is generic, but the rig that it contains is Humanoid. I want to convert that to Humanoid. The animation is not within an fbx it is just an animation clip. so there are no import settings to change. I tried the rig by it self as humanoid and it works.

So the Rig is FBX and i can change that. But the Animation is .Anim and I cannot do anything about that.

I'm not having any luck getting the root motion to come across when I export as FBX. The animation is just happening in place not moving the character around.

It works fine as .anim but I need FBXs.

please help :)

Hi I have been trying to figure out how to change a materials properties while using U-Motion so that they can sync up with my animations, I thought I figured it out but it doesn't seem to be working.

In order to test this out first I made an incredibly simple material shader in amplify shader editor, just a float property in the albedo that changes it from black to white with a min and max slider.
It can be adjusted in the inspector tab with the material and I've also tested it with the regular animation window and it seems to work fine there.

So with U-Motion after a bit of sleuthing I realized I can add custom constraints that adjust component properties in the same way u-motion affects its blend shapes. So I added a custom constraint changed it to component properties, selected the mesh, used the ... to select skinnedmeshrenderer, material, property. Checked preview added constrain input so it can be a slider.
Went to pose mode and it doesn't seem to work.

Unlike blend shapes moving the slider doesn't appear to do anything to the material property. I tested in the unity animation window and it works there. It was also listed with the mesh in a category under skinnedmeshrenderer along with the blend
shapes.
I tried key framing the different value points in u-motion but it doesn't seem to change anything either.  Again I did the same test in the regular animation window and it worked fine there.

I will admit I am still super new to Unity, U-Motion and shaders so I could have missed something obvious but I have spent too much time today trying to figure this out.

My ultimate goal with the shader was to use a 2d Texture to animate the mouth and possibly some other special effects through properties during animation so not being able to preview them while animating the body will be rather annoying too say the least.

I can take and post some example photos later if it might help, but its late and I am tired.

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi, Just bought this awesome asset, but I'm having an issue, with the exported animation, if I try to play it in the animation editor, it runs fine. But on gameplay runtime, the animation is weird, what could be causing this issue?

I've attached a screen shot showing the issue. Thanks

im making a game with my friend, ¿Can he share the UMotion Pro assets we me? As we work together in the same project or we would be violating any condition from the license?

Hi, Peter, I have an animation which seems normal in the preview window

But after I import it into UMotion, the legs are bending. Other joints seem OK.

I wish you can shed some light about the reason of this, Thank you.

Two constraints that I think would greatly benefit UMotion are a Driven constraint (very similar to Custom) and a Limit constraint.

Driven - The same as Custom but you can link the value to a value of the Driver. For example, link localPosition.x (with an offset so the 0 value can be set) of the Driver to localRotation.x of a bone. This would allow for building complex rigs with simple to use controls the same way Animators do in Maya/Blender. For example, this could be set up on each hand with one Driver per finger (and thumb). Moving it closer/farther from the hand opens/closes each finger using multiple Driven Constraints each with their own scaling/offset values. Another example is for wrist twist bones, the localRotation.X of the hand could be linked to the localRotation.x of the twist bone, when scaled to 50% the twist bone will automatically rotate with the hand at a reduced amount to give a good wrist rotation. This could be chained together for more complex setups with multiple twist bones.

Limit - A limit constraint would limit the position, rotation, or scale of a Transform to be within a certain range. For example, bones could be limited on a character to prevent unrealistic joint rotations without needing to manually fix them. Used with a Driven constraint, the Driver could be limited to only move on 1 axis within a certain range so it doesn't cause issues with the Driven.
