Very Animation - Animation Editor - [Released]

Thank you for attaching the animation data.
I confirmed that.
I will investigate the cause.
Please wait for a little while.

 

I'll wait, thanks a lot!

 

I investigated the cause.
My guess is that this happens when Tangents Weighted is a mixture of a valid key frame and an invalid key frame.
It seems that an incorrect value different from the displayed curve is actually acquired.
It does not occur if you select all key frames and unify Weighted effectively.
Or it will not happen if Weighted is invalidated invalid.
In other words, because there is a possibility of Unity bug, I will investigate a little more and consider considering submitting a bug report to Unity once it can be surely reproduced.

 

Version 1.1.5 has been released.
- ADD : Synchronize Animation : Function to edit while previewing multiple targets
- ADD : Add UI to select the AnimationClip to be edited to the screen before the start of editing
- ADD : Settings : Japaneseization of Tooltip
- ADD : Double-clicking another GameObject during editing adds a function to change the editing target
- ADD : Save and restore last selected AnimationClip added
- FIX : Fixed a problem that the position shifted at the end of editing by pause
- FIX : Fixed an issue where an event was called by Animator.Update by internal calculation
- FIX : Speed up

 

Great, synchronize animation is exactly what I will be needing to animate fighting moves too! Thanks!

Also thanks for investigating! Haven't got to try it yet so I didn't reply. Will certainly do soon.

EDIT: Tried it, and it works putting them all to weighted. Probably a Unity bug then indeed!

 

Awesome update! I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

 

We will inform you about Unity bugs that need attention.
We reported a bug to Unity and the problem was confirmed by QA.
In the animation of Humanoid, it seems that sometimes abnormal behavior occurs when valid and ineffect are mixed in Weighted of key frame Tangent.
You can avoid this by activating all the keys Weighted.
Be careful while Unity is fixed.

Hello,

VA is awesome. I bought UMotion first, but it seemed to be overcomplicated and as I need to adjust hundreds of animations, I would spend too much time doing that. So I've tried VA and after one day of using it, I am very satisfied. Even if I know very little about animations, I was able to start work immediately.

Maybe I have one request for some future update. Would be great, if Muscle Groups in VA Editor have input fields, because it's hard to set right value with that slider (changing value with mouse move while cursor is on the ax name of input box works best for me).

 

Hello.
Thank you for your feedback.

I was thinking about changing the Reset button next to the slider I rarely use into a value input field.
I will consider some other future solutions.

It is possible to change the size of the slider of the part in Settings that can be considered as the correspondence that can be done at present.
This makes minor adjustments to the values slightly easier.

 

Thanks, changing size of slider in settings helped a lot.

Hello @AloneSoft, first of all, thank you very much for this plugin. I've been searching for efficient animation tools for Unity for ages, and this is among the best ones, by a long shot!

I do have one issue, that I do not seem to be able to find a solution to, and that is :
Using Custom IK and changing the curves to automatic curves (by right clicking on the keyframes).
When doing this, selecting a non-keyframe will add keyframes to the bones that this IK is using.
By writing this, I am starting to understand why ; the rotation of the IK'd bones have changed, since the curves have been changed, and VeryAnimation is readjusting this whenever I select a frame.

However, "Automatic" curves is a powerful and handy tool, and I am also starting to wonder if we can edit curves at all when using IK?

Am I doing something wrong, do you have a solution for this?

 

Hello,
If you have IK enabled, any edits affecting that IK in the current frame will calculate IK and update keyframes to maintain position.

The reason for this behavior is that IK is only for editing and all information is stored in FK.
Unlike editing with a general animation tool, the anim file to be edited is the final data that can be edited by the users of Unity, so it can not have extra and useless information such as information for IK. This behavior is due to the above reasons.

In this case, the only solution is to disable IK once in order not to create the key automatically.

 

Okay, great !
By fiddling around, I also understood the use of applying IK in this scenario.
My specific situation will require me to calculate the IK in runtime above VeryAnimation, but I already got the tools for that!
(They're just not as well done as yours to be honest. Great job on that whole IK UI it's really good IMO)

 

Version 1.1.11 has been released.
- ADD : Tools : Generic Root Motion
- FIX : The procedure has been changed because there is data that Generic Root Motion does not work properly in the procedure up to the previous version
- FIX : DaeExporter : Fixed output problems with models with different Bindpose and Prefab pose
- FIX : Keyframe Reduction : Fix the problem that the rotation curve can not be reduced due to an error
- FIX : Create New Clip : Mirror : Humanoid TDOF mirror bug fix

 

Hello - thanks for Very Animation, I bought it and completely replaced UMotion.

One feature I would love: automatically add regular keyframes. I do a lot of fake "stop motion", so it would be great to have a tool like: add keyframe every X second.

thanks again for your great work!

 

Hello,
Is your desired function just "Create a new keyframe at specified time intervals" just?
If it is only that, it is not difficult so it is possible to cope.
If you would like something similar to something that is included in some other tool, please provide some helpful information.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I mean! Just a simple function to create keyframes at specific intervals.

 

Version 1.1.11p1 has been released.
- FIX : Fixed that other scripts do not malfunction while editing
- FIX : DaeExporter : Change settings to Importer as much as possible
- FIX : Keyframe Reduction : Bug fix that rotation is not reduced normally

 

Hello,

I have some animations, when character does only upper body movement (like Praying). But whole body is a bit rotated and out of center, so transition from and to Idle state looks really bad. I would like to correct them, so that the lowest part of the body stays the same like in the Idle animation.

Is there some video showing use case like this? I've tried to delete some animation properties, or it's frames (foot, root), but it has no effect or it mess up everything.

I do something about animations like once a year, so it's a bit challenge to achieve what I need.

 

Hello,

Sorry, I am not good at English and use automatic translation, so I may not understand your problem.
If possible, please provide a video of the condition.

If the pose of the first frame to switch is off-center, setting "Based Upon" of Animation Clip to something other than Original may solve the situation, but a little more information is needed. I do not understand the problem.

 

Here is short video showing what I mean:

I would like to keep foot on the same stop. Or just simply have no movement for lower part of the body at all.

 

I understand the problem.

What you want to do is not to separate animation in the upper and lower body as you do in FPS?
If you do it in one layer, you will have to make the lower body state the same completely as it is now.
If you create a layer only for the upper body and play the prayer animation there, the lower body will be fixed because it moves with the Base layer.

 

This could be good solution. Will try to do it this way.
Thank you.

 

Version 1.1.12 has been released.
- ADD : Tools : Create New Keyframe
- FIX : Keyframe Reduction : The bug that the reduction fails when the name of GameObject contains '.'.
- FIX : Shortcuts : Since the 2019.1.4f1 H key is no longer Global, the display switching key is changed to the H key again
- FIX : Tools : Keyframe Reduction : Fixed a bug that the specification of Error value was not reflected
- FIX : VA Tools : Fixed bug that the object not active in the whole process is not processed
- FIX : Fixed a problem that does not start with an error

 

Is it possible to edit multiple keyframes at once while changing muscle groups?

So far I can only move one keyframe at a time, tried to select all frames but this doesn't work.

Many thanks for helping

 

I'm sorry, I can not tell by your explanation what kind of situation you are having trouble with.
Does the meaning of multiple keyframes mean keyframes aligned with the current time of the curve editor vertical axis?
Or is it a keyframe that spans multiple times in the curve editor's horizontal axis?

The button next to the Muscle Group slider allows you to select a keyframe for the current time.
If you operate in the curve editor in that state, you can operate together.
In addition, Muscle Group has a Tree structure, and moving the upper slider changes all lower values to the same value.

If you have any problems, it would be helpful if you could provide us with information such as videos.

 

Hello, could this asset change animations by using an override or additive layer? For example, if I edit a running animation, and I just want the character to raise its arms while running -- is there an easy way to do that?
If you don't understand what I mean, please take a look at this video (Timestamp 1:56):

Also, could I create a reload animation, and parent the magazine to the hand at a certain point, then parent it back to the gun?

 

Hello.
Features like animation layers are not supported.
This is because other assets and DCC tools create it in their own project and then output the animation clip, but it is because editing in VA is the final animation clip.
While it is convenient to edit the final data directly, it is not possible to add useless information instead. Also, I can not do more than the specifications of Unity.

For the same reason, Unity can not change parent-child relationship with animation clip alone.
Therefore, the action to change objects is done by adding Animation Event etc. and switching parent-child relationship with script, or adding it to both from the beginning and switching display validity etc.

 

What do you mean by "add useless information"? Do animation layers add additional information which could affect performance? Honestly I think UMotion has a lot of features I don't need. It looks like I can still achieve what I want quite easily by editing the curves:

 

For other assets, the Animation Layer creates additional curves apart from the original curves.
At the output it is integrated into one curve.
The final animation clip has only one curve.

What's wasted information is that even if you create additional curves for the animation layer in the animation clip, Animation can not use it.
This is because animation clip must always be a single integrated curve.

Hello, what have you got planned next for Very Animation?

 

The next version upgrade will be officially compatible with Unity 2019.2.
Errors that occur in the current Unity 2019.3 are also fixed.
Currently, we are mainly improving the content of feedback.

 

Would you be willing to add things like Ballistics/Trajectories, Center of Mass, and Rotational / Angular Momentum?

See Cascadeur:

This would be AWESOME. D:
