Animate character using joint locations and C#?

Hey everyone,

I'm a complete beginner on Unity, and could use some pointers for a task I'm trying to accomplish.

I have an array containing joint locations for 30 frames of data, and want to use it to animate a character from a script (I downloaded a couple random humanoid characters from the Unity asset store). However, I have no prior experience from Unity and have no idea how to do this. I have prior programming experience in Python and C++, so I should be able to get a decent grasp on C#.

If anyone could give me some guidance, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know how it would turn out, but basically you'll need to set the joints' rotation (I think you only need the position of the hip bone)

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class frameseqBones : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     [System.Serializable]
8.     public class Bones
9.     {
10.         public Transform Hips;
11.         public Transform Spine;
12.         public Transform Chest;
13.         public Transform UpperChest;
14.         public Transform Neck;
15.         public Transform Head;
16.         public Transform LeftShoulder;
17.         public Transform LeftUpperArm;
18.         public Transform LeftLowerArm;
19.         public Transform LeftHand;
20.         public Transform RightShoulder;
21.         public Transform RightUpperArm;
22.         public Transform RightLowerArm;
23.         public Transform RightHand;
24.         public Transform LeftUpperLeg;
25.         public Transform LeftLowerLeg;
26.         public Transform LeftFoot;
27.         public Transform RightUpperLeg;
28.         public Transform RightLowerLeg;
29.         public Transform RightFoot;
30.  
31.     }
32.     public Bones bones = new Bones();
33.  
34.     //here you assign the angles
35.     [System.Serializable]
36.     public class Frames
37.     {
38.         public Vector3[] Hips;
39.         public Vector3[] Spine;
40.         public Vector3[] Chest;
41.         public Vector3[] UpperChest;
42.         public Vector3[] Neck;
43.         public Vector3[] Head;
44.         public Vector3[] LeftShoulder;
45.         public Vector3[] LeftUpperArm;
46.         public Vector3[] LeftLowerArm;
47.         public Vector3[] LeftHand;
48.         public Vector3[] RightShoulder;
49.         public Vector3[] RightUpperArm;
50.         public Vector3[] RightLowerArm;
51.         public Vector3[] RightHand;
52.         public Vector3[] LeftUpperLeg;
53.         public Vector3[] LeftLowerLeg;
54.         public Vector3[] LeftFoot;
55.         public Vector3[] RightUpperLeg;
56.         public Vector3[] RightLowerLeg;
57.         public Vector3[] RightFoot;
58.     }
59.     public Frames frames = new Frames();
60.  
61.     public int x;//frame counter
62.     public float deltax;
63.     public float timer = 0.5f;
64.  
65.     //and in Update set their rotation
66.  
67.     void Update(){
68.  
69.         deltax += Time.deltaTime;
70.         if(deltax>timer) {
71.             deltax=0;
72.             x+=1;
73.         }
74.  
75.         bones.Hips.eulerAngles = new Vector3(frames.Hips[x].x, frames.Hips[x].y, frames.Hips[x].z);
76.         bones.Spine.eulerAngles = new Vector3(frames.Spine[x].x, frames.Spine[x].y, frames.Spine[x].z);
77.         //etc.
78.        
79.     }
80. }
