Is possible to make rigging in Umotion from scratch?

Dear giug72,
thank you very much for your support request.

UMotion's main focus is to add professional animation editing to Unity. While you can use UMotion to add new bones to a character for the purpose of creating complex control rigs useful while animating, it's not possible to skin bones (= assigning vertices to them).

Rigging and skinning is something that I recommend doing in a 3D modeling application or in services like Mixamo. Mixamo is a free web service that automatically performs rigging and skinning for human like characters. As rigging/skinning is a task very independent from the rest of your game, it makes perfectly sense to do this in an external application (and is common practice).

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

Best regards,
Peter

Custom properies not allow convert all keys?

5 years ago • updated by 5 years ago • 1

Hello dear Soxware team! I have question:
I really like new feature that allow you to make list shorter, but I get one problem.
When I setup custom properties to almost all bones to Nothing (Except Spine,Spine2,Head, IK of hands and Legs) to make my list shorter and easy more easy to animate, after export to Anim file I have only that keys that i'm animate in that short list.

I was think like it will convert IK to bones with properties (Nothing)...

There any way to fix that or I must use properties (Rotation) to solve that and make my list bigger =( ?

Hi Vilaskis,

thank you very much for your support request.

All properties that should be exported to the final animation need to be enabled (in Config Mode). That means that you have to enable the rotation properties of all your bones.

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

Best regards,

Peter
