It is very much possible to control an object's property using curves out of the box in Unity. Right click in Project view, create New > Animation. Drag it in Hierarchy onto object you want to animate (Controller autom. created and added as component on that object). With object selected, open Animation window, add new…
Yeah I'd get digging into Mecanim. That might help you with understanding how animation works in Unity; using animation layers, avatar masks, blending etc. For control objects, I'd suggest giving each control bone a gizmo. You'll find that in the top of the inspector.
Hey guys I'm currently creating a basic rig in maya which consists of a simple bone/joint system and a couple of nurb circles to select the rig. I was wondering before I continue...is there a way to move your model within Unity if you have a basic rig set up. Or do I need to go about this in a different angle? Because I…
mecanim was great! It allowed me to use my fk/ik rig but i needed those animations in real time. like interactive real time if that makes sense. Like you slide a slider to make it do those animations. But in the end just used a Full Fk rig, sure there are some deformities here and there. But we are trying to make…
Nope, don't have experience with IK and FK rigs inside Unity unfortunately. I do remember though quite a few Asset Store items for that type of animation, maybe worth checking. Also, did you tried does Mecanim has options you need?
Yeah I keep forgetting to check there since I'm super new to unity. It's hard getting used to the interface! Well not to create a character animation in Unity per se. More like trying to make a posable character for a friend of mine who struggles with drawing and doesn't know 3D; so mainly for them to just mess about with,…
Ok I've just created it but just a heads up to people who want to do some rigging in Maya and take it into Unity. I couldn't find the answer myself so I just experimented, you can't create IK handles and import them into Unity I thought there may of been a slight chance but it doesn't seem to work. I know there's something…
