I have one animation its Idle, but I want to make a little different change about leg position but in Additive layer.

I Imported my animation track to UMotion Pro and I created additive layer I fixed my leg positions but now how can I export only this additive keyframes? I mean in my animation controller still have same animation but I will add Additive layer and drag this exported animation.

Hi! Some changes on the bones hierarchy of the model I'm animating were made after I already done some animations, and now when I open the UMotion project the animation is obviously broken with a lot of yellow/missing animated properties.
So I have a few questions:

- Is it possible to copy/paste the keyframes from the already animated properties from the old bone hierarchy (that are all now missing links in the animation) to the new bones so that I don't need to reanimate it all?
- Is it possible to get rid of the missing properties (like it is done in Unity's animation window by right clicking the property and selecting to remove it)?

Thanks in advance,

Diego

If I select one or multiple pinned IK transforms + hips and then move them with the movement widget or movement tool, only hips will move, while all of the selected transforms should move. 

It's inconvenient, since very often it's desirable to move both hips and a pinned IK, so that you don't have to unpin it needlessly. Same effect can be achieved by moving first the hips and then the transforms by the same amount, but it's not ideal.

Here is the animation in a frame with the left leg pinned:

Here is the animation in the next frame, where the left leg has been unpinned:

As you can see, the box with the movement transform has disappeared and you can't select it anymore. The Move Tool still works, but it's definitely not ideal. Both frames here were created automatically by unchecking the IK Pinned box in the channels section.

Hello, i have community version, when i m create a clip, put it on animator, all work perfect, then use the same anmation on other humanoid character, it didnt working , both character have humanoid rig, but different avatars, can i retarget animation on another humanoid character?

I can't seem to assign any parents to a transform with a Child Of constraint. Here's my rig:

Here's the configuration:

And here is the result:

No matter what I do, I can't seem to select any transform as a parent and I can't find anything in the manual on this. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I have a clip that's used to transition a humanoid character from an idle state into an action and I'm looking for a convenient way to reverse the clip so that I can also use the clip to transition back to the idle state. I have a number of similar kinds of animations which I want to do the same with.

Currently Unity doesn't have a way to play clips in reverse via Timelines (for example ref: https://forum.unity.com/threads/reverse-the-timeline-animation.673156/) and I also can't find a feature in UMotion Pro to do this.

I know that I can do this in Blender and so I was hoping to export an .fbx, import into Blender and then re-export. The problem with this seems to be though that the .fbx doesn't import with an rig/armature, it just seems like a collection of animated Empty objects for each bone in the rig. Although I can mirror the animation in Blender it doesn't seem possible to save the result in a way that I could re-import back into Unity / UMotion Pro.

It would be great to either get some help being able to export fbx files that can be modified for re-import or maybe some trick for being able to reverse an animation within UMotion Pro somehow?

Thanks for any help.

Hello, i have some issues with Community version.
I am unable to both of Pose and Clip editor which seems appearing as disabled : 

I am unable to drag&drop any of GameObjects to (or select from) Pose editor.

I have updated to las version of Unity => 2019.2.5f1 but I firstly started on 2019.2.3f1

Hi, i've been trying to mimic overgrowth's approach to animations in unity (you can find the explanation here) and i was wondering if uMotion could help me in achieving that.

In short what this method involves is having very few keyframes and interpolating between them using curves, which is perfect for prototyping. For example a walk loop can be done with only 2 frames.

At first i got this done by splitting keyframes into animations (thus animations with only 1 frame), putting them in a blend tree and switching between them using a script. This however has a few issues: the mecanim graph becomes exceedingly complex over time, i need a script to handle the animations and animation speed is ignored (as the script sets in which point of the animation i'm at every frame).

Using transitions isn't a good solution either since it only provides linear interpolation.

So the only solutions i'm left with are baking keyframes into an animation and dealing with the playables API.

The former method would be handier as it'd allow for quicker development by letting the animator see the changes very quickly when making changes, plus having the final output be contained in an animation file means it's possible to make it work with mecanim as well.

The issue is that each property has its own curve, both in uMotion and in unity's own animator window, meaning that in order to do an "ease in" curve (as an example) i'd need to change the right tangent of every property for the specified node, which for a humanoid character can easily mean changing 50+ curves, while more complex curves would be essentially impossible.

As for using playables, clips do support ease in and ease out curves which can be used alongside single frame animations to get the desired result, but i'm still clueless as to how that would work when putting everything together (such as using them in blend trees for example) and i've yet to see examples of characters controlled via playables that don't involve janky scripts.

The ideal solution would be to have a single interpolation curve within uMotion itself. In a new or imported animation it'd just be a line going from 0 (start of the animation) to 1(end of the animation). It might be better/worse to have a curve for each keyframe.

Or alternatively a "speed" curve that in a new or imported animation would sit at a value of 1, allowing for a very similar effect but in a way that is probably easier to execute (as it'd be a matter of changing how long each frame lasts based on the curve).

In both these cases it'd be possible to quickly create more natural animations (for example making a decent looking jump animation becomes trivial with this approach) while possibly leading to a fully finished animation (overgrowth's character animator uses less than 20 keyframes!) just by refining it.

Is this already possible with uMotion in some way?

If not, would you consider adding this feature? And do you know how i could tackle this animation approach (either through playables or with other software that has the feature i'm looking for)?

Thank you in advance! :)

I am trying to chain two animations together. In the first the character turns 90 degrees and in the second he walks forward.When I add the second animation onto the first I use an additive layer to rotate the character and position him when the first animation stopped.It should work but the character instead of walking in the new forward direction continues to the side.

It looks like the root motion position is not a local as indicated but rather is the global position.

In fact it is the same problem if I try to rotate a single animation, for example a walk cycle at a 45 degree angle rather than forward.

How can I solve this?Thanks
