People, if you are looking for solution for diappearing animations in unity, like i was: It was just about, they was not visible in library! So i added them in inspector of object with + button. Seen many tuts, but this is serious masterclass level! So cleanly explained, and still so many informations! Giant Thank you! I am definitelly gonna follow your content.

Additive animation is what it state it adds an animation/blends two animations, it will allow you to set a start frame reference (blue arrow) in the animator you want the animation to begin transition from. Its mainly used for frames you want specificly transition for example walk->jog->run where you can have the change in animation transiition at optimal times such as when the foot is planeted, so say frame 13 of walk is where I would like my jog frame to start its movement from.

Trying to make a character with a snake coiled around their neck that then moves down their arm and rests it's head in the hand, it's body staying coiled down the arm.

@monicasloane4546 8 месяцев назад

I am having an issue when I import my character into unity the animation does not work, the character is completely squashed, and the gizmos are not anywhere near the character. The original blend file has the character mesh and rig with all transformations applied. The origin point is at the centre of the world along with the character. This character has been referenced into a second blend file where the animation was done. However in the referenced blend file the character has not been animated in the centre of the world and the origin points of the mesh and rig are not at the base of the character. The origin points seem to be locked and I cannot move them. I believe moving the origin points post animation would mess up the animation anyway? So my question is how do I export this particular fbx? Is it not possible to export referenced characters with new animation? Will the animation need to be re-done with correct origin points and world position? Thank you!

@murrowboy 3 года назад

Do you know what PC specs I should get for 3d animation? I wan to do some modeling in blender, but my PC is slow so I figure it's time to upgrade since it is pretty old. Does modeling and animation use more CPU, Memory, video card? I heard CPU is the best upgrade to have as modeling relies very heavily on CPU clock speed.

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN 3 года назад

Yes, Modeling and animation use the CPU mainly while the graphic card will help for rendering It then depend on your budget

when i use a complex FPS rig and export it to unity from blender, the hands dont match up with the gun, ive tried everything, I tried using constraints, i tried making my own rig instead of a pro rig, I made sure i baked the animation, i made sure i exported it to FBX, but the moment it goes from blender to unity, its like the IK is all messed up

@Ferenc-Racz Год назад

Hi! I just thinking about blender and unity animations. So when you create a character you ca do the animations in blender and unity as well, although in unity you can program it and can add particle effects also to your game objects. My question is: What is the advantage and disadvantage regarding using blender or unity programmed animations? Which is the best / recommended? Thank you for the answer in advance.

@0mercenario0 3 года назад

can you help me? I have 2 rigs (character & weapon) How can I animate 2 rigs and export to unity generic? I can animate 2 rigs easy in actions (idle for example) that's not the problem, I can export that to unity fine. BUT when I create the second animation I lost the first animation when I export to unity even creating a second action in blender. what is the proccess to animate multiple rigs in blender and export to unity?

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN 3 года назад

each prop need to have its own animator controler and avatar. You need to export the weapon asset, rig and animation as one FBX and the character as another. Then you can combine these different FBX under a master empty object for example. each FBX will have its own animator that you will have to trigger through code.

@Enpharla 3 года назад

Is there no way to set the stretchable rig from the course to humanoid? usually it doesn't work if the bones are not in the right parenting hiearachy. But if i parent the deform bones correctly to each other, the squash and stretch effects won't work correctly in unity because the scaling of the bones will then be passed on to the children. I am not sure if you did, but since it might be important to some people to know that before they create the rig and the custom animations, it would be nice if there was a warning about that fact earlyier in the process :) But anyways I still learned a lot in your tutorial series, thanks for that

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN 3 года назад

While dragged into the unity scene, the parent node of armature will be scaled to 100, it may couse some trouble. To be specific, if I want to add a 1*1*1 boxcollider to a bone, I need to size the boxcollider as 0.01*0.01*0.01, it is hard to edit. Is there any way to solve this trouble?

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN 3 года назад

Yes I know. I did a couple of test but never really dig that in. You will find export option regarding scale in blender and also option to edit the fbx in Unity. Honestly, the only waynis to test the different options ans see if you get something that works for you 😅

@raycharly9440 Год назад

@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGNthis is a bit late but I found out that to fix the scale you just have to change the Scale options from All Local to FBX Units of Scale.

@murrowboy 3 года назад

Pierrick, I just completed your rigging tutorial. Is there a universal standard for rigging humanoid characters? The simple rig you created in chapter 2 already can do anything I want from an humanoid. I think your rig gives better control than the one in rigify.

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN 3 года назад

There is not a rely a standard but the base structure. Spine, arms, legs etc.... wether you are using 2 bones for the arms or 4 bones, subdividing the arm and forearm for example. "Standard" is more studio based, depending on the developement of your engine. Rigify is great because it offers tons of control but that's also its weakness. too much controlers can be a mess to animate. That's why most studios create their own rig based on their needs. Keep your rigs as simple as possible based on what you need to animate

Friend, please tell me, I have a couple of questions. - Imagine a cube with 3 sides painted blue and one with an emission shader. When exporting fbx / obj to Unity, the blue color of three sides of the cube is transferred, but emission is not! 1. Is there a way to transfer this shader from the blender? 2. Is it possible in Unity to overlay material not on the entire object as a whole, but on one of its sides, as in blender in edit mode? I know that Unity also has a similar emission shader, so can I count on the fact that a person, having received a model with all materials except emission, will be able to apply it to the side of the cube right in Unity without any problems? 3. The same question applies to glass and transparency in general. They are not transferred, can they be imposed in Unity? And how difficult is it? P. S: I have models of robots, which I usually paint with defuse colors and apply emission in some places, in obj format together with mtl all colors are perfectly transferred to Unity, but those polygons that should glow do not glow. So I ask myself a question, otherwise I don't want to mess with PBR, I hope I can do without them, but this emission shader confuses me

@pleaserespond3984 2 года назад

One thing you didn't mention and that had me pulling my hair for hours - if you're using a humanoid avatar and wish to import an animation that acts on non-human bones, you have to go into the animation's properties, go under masking, select "create from this model" and then manually enable the bones that are animated and disable the humanoid rig. Otherwise if you have e.g. facial animations or you animate clothes, etc. those animations will be imported as a humanoid animation acting on Unity's Mecanim system, but obviously you're not animating humanoid bones, you're animating additional bones. I do not understand why Unity doesn't just do the obvious thing in that case, the animation is obviously not a humanoid animation, yet it insists on importing all of them as such. I cannot express how much I hate this piece of shit software.
