Very Animation - Animation Editor - [Released]

Sorry for my English.

I mean you can implement a custom AnimationWindow in VA

Because I think Unity’s AnimationWindow is outdated.

 

It takes a lot of time to implement our own AnimationWindow.
I am sorry, but I will give priority to fixing other problems and adding functions, rather than taking time to custom AnimationWindow now.

Certainly, Unity's AnimationWindow has problems and performance is bad.
However, function addition and performance correction are done for each version up.
Let's expect that Unity will improve in the future.

 

Hello, for some reason suddenly I can't edit my animations "This clip is not recordable". What is going on? Is my Unity too recent? U3d 2018.1.0f2 VA 1.0.9

 

From Unity 2018.1 it appears that such a display appears.
Although the display appears, I confirmed that it can be edited in the same way as before.
VA officially still corresponds to Unity 2017.4.
The next version is planned for correspondence to 2018.1.

 

1. Is there an easy way to move the whole model using VA. Like a point on the model that I can drag to move the whole model.
   
2. Also, is there a way to stop auto-keyframe (stop record). Right now I have to disable VA to stop record and auto-keyframe.

 

1. In order to move the whole model, you will be manipulating the top of Hierarchy.
   If it is Humanoid, it corresponds to the Root displayed by double circle.
   
   
2. In VA, it works with auto-keyframe.
   This is to meet the Unity Animation Window specification and to make it as simple as possible.
   It can not be changed now.

 

Hi! Can you point me to your official Unity Forum thread for VoxelImporter? I have some questions and it would be good to have a dedicated thread for people to ask questions and maybe also help each other and archive collected answers. The closest thread I found is here and I posted some feedback there.

 

https://forum.unity.com/threads/voxel-importer.533193/
Thank you for pointing out.
I have created a forum.
To the person on the link, I did exchange in Twitter in the past.
Therefore, I will only describe the link to the forum.

 

Thank you for help. There is another issue with animation. Sometimes Unity is loosing IK fix (legs and hands). For example - character is making push ups (3 keyframes - up,down,up) and hands are in fixed position (IK is ON) so the body can move up and down. But often when I am editing animation hands position fix is disappearing and they are moving up and down with the body. This occurs when editing animation frames and when animation if applied to the character an the scene (in timeline). The problem occured in all versions of U3d and VA.

 

I do not understand English, so I do not know if I understand the problem, I am sorry.
Is it a problem with Humanoid?
The current IK function can be used to assist in posing, and it is not enough for applications like pinning. This is the function I want to add in the future.
If it's different content, would you like to shoot videos and show the problem?

 

Hello again! Thanks for creating a Forum thread for Voxel Importer. I found it quite a handy tool. My next objective would be to get the ideal animation tool for my requirements. There are so many available options here so before I dive in, I hope someone can answer these quick questions:

1. Can Very Animation create/add bones for imported models?
   
   
2. Can Very Animation import and edit animations made in Mixamo? Can imported animations become separate clips and can therefore be usable by other Humanoid models as well in Unity?
   
   
3. Is it possible for Very Animation to animate non-humanoid models too?

Thanks in advance!

 

1. There is no editing of model Bone, Weight Paint function, etc.
   
   
2. You can edit all animation clips that were imported into the correctly available state in Unity.
   Before using VA, there is no problem if it is an animation that is ready for use with Unity.
   
   
3. Yes. You can also edit animations of Generic and Legacy type.

 

Ok, I understand this tool is purely for editing animations and not for rigging/skinning. Thank you!

Thx for the root "full" compensation !

I find your asset very useful.
I still lack some features that i think i could be useful for others :
-Copy/Paste like your great feature, but by part of body (just legs for example).
-i made a little script for my need but some other animation manipulation tools can be interristing like "only keep the first frame and delete the others for a part of the hiearchy", or set all curves in clamped, linear,...

 

1. Partial copying and pasting is possible with general operation by selecting only that part and using Ctrl + C & Ctrl + P.
2. I am sorry, but my English and Google translation are problems and I do not understand what this means.It will be of great help if you explain what you want with images and so on.

 

@AloneSoft Any plans to export animations outside of unity?

 

There is a procedure to output Unity animation to FBX file in this video.

VeryAnimation does not yet support Unity 2018.3.0.
This cause is a bug in Unity and can not be handled until it is fixed.
Please use versions up to Unity 2018.2 for a while.

 

What exactly is the bug in 2018.3? I just purchased VeryAnimation, so I cannot tell what's wrong. It appears to be fine.

 

As a result of inquiring Unity of this problem, it was not a bug but a spec change.
There was a big specification change in Root Motion at Unity 2018.3.0.
As a result, if Animator 's Apply Root Motion is in a valid state, it will not work properly.
We will update to address this issue as soon as the beginning of the year.

 

Alright, thank you for the information and good luck!

 

Hi, I'm using VA in 2018.2 and have some problem. When I click on "Edit Animation" on my character, I get "Null reference exceptions".

Looking at the code, the problem is that GetBoneTransform() returns Null in UpdateBones()

Code (CSharp):

1.       var t = animator.GetBoneTransform((HumanBodyBones)bone);

I double checked my Avatar in Animator component, they are configured as Humanoid and there isn't any issue.

Do you know what's going on? I appreciate your help. Thanks.


Update: When I click on "Play" and then click on "Edit Animation", it will work normally. This means that I must start the scene in order to use VA. This is really weird.

 

There is one more problem.

When clicked on "Edit Animation", I get the following error.



looking at the code, the number of bones do not match.



This happens when I pick up a weapon and the go into "Edit Animation"
When I pickup a weapon, weapons are attached to a hand I suppose it changes the number of bones.

Thanks for your support.

 

Hello.
It is strange that Null return there.
Since animator.GetBoneTransform returns Null if animator.isInitialized is not true, there is the following initialization just before it.

Code (CSharp):

1.                  if (! animator.isInitialized)
2.                      animator.Rebind ();

Does this problem occur in all models?
Will it also occur in Demo's model included in VeryAnimation?

 

The bone information is updated every time when editing is started.
It is also supposed to pick up things, increase or decrease of bones.
The fact that the number of bones does not match means that the result of GameObject.Instantiate is different from the original.
It is a very strange behavior, does this happen with all models? Or is it just a part of the model?
Or is it possible to think that the script that works by instantiating is deleting bones?
I would like to investigate in detail, but is it possible to provide data on the condition to be reproduced here?
Please consider if possible.

 

Hi, I'm using UMA with UCC(Opsive Character Controller) and it requires a bit different setup.
I'll look into more what's going on.

One other problem I have is that I can't change to different Animation clips. It's greyed out.


I know you can change in the the "Animation" window but I have very large number of animations but Unity doens't support scrollbar in animation lists. It's almost impossible to change to what I want.

Thanks.

 

The grayed out information is only displaying the information displayed in the current Animation Window.
Also, it is intended to enable you to select Animation Clip etc. with double clip.

The problem of making the number of too many Animations inconvenienced in the Animation Window is only to ask Unity to improve.
There is no choice but to switch currently with the PageUp key during editing.

However, in VeryAnimation we will consider adding a UI that allows you to efficiently select target animation in the grayed out part.

 

Thanks for your support. I think the biggest benefit of using VA is the ability to edit the animations in-place quickly.
It is really valuable and I hope you keep up the good work. ^^

 

Version 1.1.4 has been released.
- ADD : Unity2018.3 support
- ADD : Added log display at end of edit on error
- ADD : Dummy Object color change effective flag addition
- FIX : Fixed a problem that position shifted due to pause editing
- FIX : Add warning about Root Motion relation
- FIX : Save data of mirror bone
- FIX : Unity2019.1 error

 

Hi, thanks for the update. I'm wondering if the grey out animation selection has been enabled with better selection UI Unity's. It's a roadblocker for me. Please let me know in the patch note once it's available. Thanks again for your support.

 

The addition of the selection UI is likely to correspond to the next update.
Please wait for a little while.

 

Awesome! Thanks a lot! I'll look forward to it.

 

Nice to see an update for 2018.3.

There seems to be some kind of bug... the attached humanoid animation looks fine on exact frames, but when playing the animation, the character seems to do a 360 turn around the X axis between frame 20 and 21. It can also be seen in VA's preview. I can't find a reason for this, the curves look fine. Any clue what might be wrong?
