The character gets squeezed ?
The character gets squeezed (the animation not looping correctly is on me)
Here is a video of it:
Here are pictures of the Export Settings: (different anim showing in video but same settings for all my animations)
I have read these links
- https://www.soxware.com/umotion-manual/ProjectSettings.html#ExportSettings
- https://www.soxware.com/umotion-manual/ImportExport.html
But none are listed as to how or why this problem occurs. These characters are reused from already in the game. There are working animations already for this character in the game however for some reason when I make new animations, the character seems to get squeezed once the animation or scene gets played. However, the issue does NOT happen while making the animations IN UMotion.
Here is the character in question import settings:
On the animation clip it self:
Answer
Hi Maco,
thank you very much for your support request. This issue might have something to do with the humanoid avatar setup of your character. Are all bones green and are there no error in your humanoid avatar? You can see the humanoid avatar setup when clicking on the "Configure..." button:
Make sure that you do not have scaling != 1 applied to any of the bones of your character model. Check the Unity hierarchy of your model and ensure that all the transforms of your character have scaling = 1.
You can also try to export your animation as FBX. Therefore in the export settings, set "File Format" to "FBX". Then select your model's FBX file as destination file. The animation is then exported directly into your character's FBX file. Use that animation and check the results.
Best regards,
Peter
Yes, mapping is all green
The Muscles & Settings looks like this
The character I have has been directly sent to me by the dev from the game, for some reason when using my animations they get exported incorrectly. The animation looks fine while making it in Umotion, but once exported and placed on a character (without Umotion) their shoulders are either lifted or the character looks squeezed. What could cause this to happen?
Here is another example, here it looks fine while using Umotion Editor:
Here it is without Umotion:
Please make it make sense; we are lost and clueless about how or why this happens.
I'm not entirely sure why this happens. I would recommend trying this:

Please let me know how it goes.

Tried that, but then the Muscles & Settings stance plays.
However, I just now looked at the scale factor on your Robot Kyle model, which is 0.01, ours is 1.00 could that be something?

What do you mean by that?
Please note that when exporting to FBX (and using humanoid), it's important that you export the animation into the FBX of the character you use in UMotion for creating the animation. Then you need to use the animation from the FBX instead of the old *.anim animation.

The scale on the root of your character (i.e. the top most game object) doesn't matter. But you need to ensure that there is no scaling on any of the humanoid bones or any of their parents.
