UMA - Unity Multipurpose Avatar on the Asset Store!

I thought I had fixed that. Maybe it's in an unreleased version. I will check.

 

Yes, I'm sure its not FPS drop, only one slot have LODs for now and only characters with this slot "stutter".

I tried "keep avatar" and "keep animator controller" in all combinations - no help.

What you mean by save and restore animator state - is this being called automatically when I swap slots or should I call it somewhere?

 

This code is being called automatically by the build process. It may help if you turn off "Rebuild Skeleton" on the prefab also.

 

Just dropping a quick reminder that the Pixel Crushers publisher sale ends at midnight PST. If you wanted to get any UMA assets for 50% off, make sure to check out before midnight. If you've added the free gift (Love/Hate), use coupon code TOOLBOX to get it for free.

 

Hi Jaimi
May I ask what should I do if the animation with attached bones (such as hair bones and skirt bones) cannot be read by UMA?

 

I'm porting my game to the Android and what to change my UMA character to not use the standard shader. I want to use a mobile shader instead. Is it as simple as changing the shader on the material I'm currently using?

 

Hey Jaimi Been a while. LTS 2020.3 ver 20 we good to go on hdrp support OOTB these days in 2.13a1 ? Are there any new gotchas in the last two years? Codebase looks more or less the same. Cheers mate. And HEY! How have you been for - ever - good to see you survived the zombie plague

 

Or did you?
Say something only a zombie Jaimi wouldn't know...
And go slow. I get still get confused easily when the thing about the stuff is ... things.

 

Hey. Someone already had this problem few page back but no info were provided.
After update to Unity 2021.2.1f started to receive these errors on Camera.Render().
Looks like it appears only if Post Process Layer component is enabled at target Camera (orthographic).
I have absolutely no ideas what causing it, also error stops to appear e.g if i manually switch material shader to any random shader and back at generated by UMA skinned mesh renderer.
Tried to use other shaders/materials with no luck.

Also found this pretty old related thread and tried to edit MeshCombiner without any result:

Hey, having a problem with UMA blendshape. So I add shape keys for orc teeth in blender and exported model to unity. The blendshape works alright in Unity, but once I try to create uma model's slots and create uma objecer the orc tusks shift to the center of the head or to the top of the head.

I tried to use different export options in Blender, I tried to connect orc teeth vertices with main head vertices. I tried to use just a plain blender file. Nothing worked. Has anyone encountered this issue? Am I missing something?

 

Hi, I've been reacquainting myself with UMA these last few days and it was going swimmingly, but installing the Delight UI system from the asset store (free) makes UMA crash. I think the crash comes from a plugin assembly : Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.dll as it makes UMA choke on a bunch of System.Reflection failures.

Uma install is from the repository and Unity version is 21.2.0b16

 

Hi, i am trying to make UMA 2 Unity Multipurpose Avatar work with the StarterAssets ThirdPersonController.
I just dont understand how i can use the animated dressed avatar.
I can create a dressed avatar, i can create a walking (blank) avatar with third person, but i cant get the dressed avatar to use his animations. Could somebody please help me or maybe invite me to discord for UMA? Thanks

 

Code (CSharp):

1. Assertion failed on expression: 'material.sharedMaterialData->smallMaterialIndex != 0'

Commenting out line 110 of UmaGeneratorPro.cs fixes the error:

Code (CSharp):

1. res.material.CopyPropertiesFromMaterial(umaMaterial.material);

But not sure why this line even needed because res material is being instantiated at line 105:

Code (CSharp):

1. res.material = UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate(umaMaterial.material) as Material;

 

Ouch!!! Actually my reply notifications got lost again, so I didn't see all these. HDRP works, but you have to change the materials. After you run the HDRP material conversion on your project, then find all the UMAMaterials, and update them to use the new shader keywords. (search for umamaterials using "t:umamaterial" in the project search box). Open the channels, and then select the new texture parameter names from the dropdown. There will be two that don't convert - the hair. Change the materials to use either the "lit" or "speed tree 8" shader, and then adjust the parameters.

 

Are you using the built in content, or some other? I've not been able to duplicate this, but you aren't the first to report it.

 

It's either bone weights, or the mesh had unapplied transformations.

 

This is probably an issue loading the assembly from the plugin. I posted a fix for this on the discord:

https://discord.com/channels/459433092554162193/541409015159324672/901288982648872991

 

You should be able to just use the created UMA like normal (be sure to turn off the Skeleton Rebuild).

There is a permanent invitation to the discord in the UMA documentation in the UMA folder.

 

Thanks for tracking this down to that line. Do you know what material it was blowing up on?

That line is needed when you have addressables on, because the material may not be the same material in some instances.

 

Hi Jaimi:
UMA cannot use skeleton animation outside the body, how should I do?

 

I'm not sure what you mean. Typically, the slot builder will strip non-referenced bones from the slots, so they aren't included when you build the rig. But if you have animated helper bones, you can tell it to keep some of the bones in the "keep bones" section of the builder.

If you mean that you made some animations of non-humanoid bones, put it on a layer, and it's not playing... Be sure to use the same hierarchy in your animation that UMA uses, or Unity can't find the bones to animate. You may be able to fix it using the "Animation Clip Target Renamer" to add the missing hierarchy bones at the front of the keys, if that is your problem.

If I missed what is actually happening, I need more information. UMA doesn't actually do the animation, it just builds the SkinnedMeshRenderer.

 

I'm also getting the

Assertion failed on expression: 'material.sharedMaterialData->smallMaterialIndex != 0'

Commenting out line 110 of UmaGeneratorPro.cs fixed it for me. I'm not using addressables, so I assume it should be safe?
I'm using the latest UMA from the asset store with Unity 2021.2.4.
I'm using custom materials for my skin shaders, but they are working perfect other than this error.
I couldn't verify any exact material causing it. I tried adding a debug line just above the line I commented out that would tell me which material it was referencing, but the debug line never ran?
It's all very odd. It acts like that code never runs. My debug code never ran that was 1 line above it.
But, commenting out that line still fixes it. *Shrug*

If you can think of any tests for me to run to try to figure it out, let me know.

 

Thanks - I will review the change notes for 2021.2, see if there is different way to copy properties. Since it's only needed for addressables, I will also put that in an if block. I may just need to report the issue to Unity for fix in a possible future update.

 

Hey is there a way to change the wardrobe in edit mode? This works at runtime, but not edit time:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. dca.SetSlot(recipe); // change some slots
3. dca.ClearSlot("Trousers"); // maybe clear some
4. dca.SetColor("Hair", Color.blue); // change some colors
5. dca.UpdateColors();
6. dca.BuildCharacter();
7.  

From looking at the code, it seems like the right way involves setting the "predefinedWardrobeRecipes," which I might be able to change via reflection or using a SerializedProperty. OK, but now the actual GenerateSingleDCA() method requires there be an instance of the DynamicCharacterAvatarEditor existing. I *guess* I could create one with the Editor APIs, call the method via reflection, and then dispose it right away, but.. there's gotta be a better way than all that, right?

 

Followed up on discord

 

Hey all, having a severe problem with UMA -

I've updated UMA and it's now no longer showing the character at run-time. I thought that this was a update issue, but I've put it on a fresh project too. I also thought that there may be an issue with me having the UMA_DCS prefab in my scene instead of the UMA_GLIB so I swapped it out and put in the GLIB. It doesn't make a difference: When I push play the character disappears and strangely enough the UMARenderer disappears from their heirarchy.

I been trying to follow the Getting Started in the documentation but no matter what I do it's not working. Strangely enough the Dynamic Character Avater prefab that's in that Getting Started folder does show up at run-time so why does mine not show up. (I'm creating an empty object and attaching the Dynamic Character Avatar component to it in the same way how UMA worked before.

Any ideas or have I missed something, anything?

 

It should have asked you at install time to rebuild the library. If it didn't, or you chose not to do anything, go to the UMA menu, and choose the global library window. From the Global Library window file menu, tell it to "Rebuild from project". If that doesn't work, or you already did this, then it must be getting an error. If you can post the error and the callstack, I can trace it down.

 

No worries for some strange reason, it seems if you weren't selecting an animator for the UMA it was not showing up at runtime - weird but i've gotten the hang of it. Thanks for the rapid response however.

I do have another question: I made a function as per the tutorials, previously changing the gender of the character on a button press:

//Switch Gender Buttons
public void SwitchGender(bool Male)
{
if (Male && avatar.activeRace.name != "HumanMaleDCS")
avatar.ChangeRace("HumanMaleDCS");

if (!Male && avatar.activeRace.name != "HumanFemaleDCS")
avatar.ChangeRace("HumanFemaleDCS");
}

This was the function, it worked before I updated but no longer works. Is there something i'm missing on this new version?

I have this on Two buttons in the inspect on the 'OnClick'

 

That should continue to work. Are you sure you didn't lose any references in your UI?

 

With built in content the error went away. I use "Mecanim and UMA Male Base 2.0" and "Mecanim and UMA Female 2.0" from Will B.
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/mecanim-and-uma-female-2-0-101813
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/mecanim-and-uma-male-base-2-0-99379

 

No changes to UI - Enabling the Blinking and Saccades also seem to do nothing, well the whole expression player really: Don't know if it's related but also seem to be getting errors pilling up at run time:

I am having trouble with a distorted slot. It appears perfect in blender, everything looks perfect till I create the slot, then it gets all distorted. This happens using .blend and .fbx, however the distortion is worse with fbx using the correct export settings. The scaling and rotation on the mesh is zeroed out. No idea why this is happening. I've successfully created slots before without issue. Any ideas?

 

Hello everyone. I'm having an issue where when I build for android and run it on my phone my uma character doesn't appear. It works as intended in the unity editor. Any suggestions on how to fix this or where to start looking would be greatly appreciated thanks!

 

I have verified all of this, slot still gets distorted. I am at a loss.

 

Ok after hours and hours of trial and error, I am convinced something is wrong with UMA itself. Like I said before, I had created working slots previously. So as an experiment I started playing around with that mesh. It still generates working slots, HOWEVER when duplicating that mesh and creating slots from it, the slots distort. What the heck?

 

Oh my god. I figured it out. Turns out unity/uma/blender/whatever does not like you having blender 2.7 AND 2.8+ installed at the same time. I guess 2.8 was screwing with the models I was saving from 2.7. I hope this saves someone the 10+ hours I spent figuring this out. I need a drink.

 

Really don't know whya i'm getting those errors at run-time though - incidentally I saw something in Visual Studio when I highlighted 'ChangeRace' regarding "optionally overriding the onRaceChange settings in the avatar component itself". Could this have something to do with it? Is there a new setting that has been added which might interfere with this? Is there something blocking the character's race from being changed at runtime in the new UMA?

 

Thanks - I think we've found the issue. A few messages up someone posted a fix. We'll need to figure out how to address it in the next version.

 

You should check your UI and make sure it didn't lose it's references. That error is coming from your code (charC line 192).

 

Likely this is memory related. Do you have a lot of assets in the global library?
Are you getting any error messages in the console?

 

I'd like to express the body and cloth texture to almost transparent using Uma2, like a ghost. I'm trying to set texture alpha in the inspector. but It seems not work properly. Is there any way to get the result transparency?

 

I just want to say how happy I am with this asset. Yes at first it's frustrating, confusing, doesn't make sense. But after a couple weeks working with it, it starts to click.. and it's resparked my interest in 3d modeling. I now consider it an essential part of unity. Good job devs, and thank you Secret Anorak, without you I don't think I would have ever figured it out, great teacher. A bit disappointing there is no community, a message board or something. Oh well, guess I will periodically check this thread.

 

You'll need to use a material that has transparency. Then you can modulate the visibility of the character by using the alpha channel on the color multiplier in a recipe, or a shared color assigned to it.

 

There's an active discord - a link is in the documentation, or you can get to it from the UMA/About dialog.

 

I also against with this issue even the build from the fresh project contains only default UMA package. In my case, there is no any error message shown up.

 

What kind of device are you on? How much RAM do you have on it available to your application? By default, all UMA content loads into memory at startup, it can be too much for some lower range devices. Even on mid range devices, you should remove content that you do not need, and scale the textures way down.

Also, did you remember to rebuild the library when you installed? It should have asked you. But sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes people just skip it.

 

It runs on Oculus Quest and I already clicked to rebuild the library. I'm not sure is this a memory related problem cause I still can look around the scene smoothly, but I found this issue only in the Unity 2020. In Unity 2019, UMA still works fine.
