How To Animate A Model In Unity

Importing Animations in Unity

On this posts I will draw some issues and solutions I found importing Mixamo Animations (and other origins) into Unity.

Setting the environment

For this tutorial things will be pretty simple. First of all create a new 3d Project in Unity an inside the Assets binder create ii new folders.

• The Animations folder will store animations files.
• The Models folder will store whatever generic humanoid model to test the animations.

Mixamo Animations

If you volition use Mixamo animations, log into your account (or annals outset if y'all have none, retrieve information technology is gratuitous).

Download a unproblematic animation including the model and any Pack. When you download a Pack, a model volition be included with the pack.

As well remember to export the animations in the correct format selecting the FBX For Unity option:

Importing your model into Unity

Y'all should drag into your Models binder the model you want to utilize for this testing and be sure information technology is configured as Humanoid.

Any Humanoid rigged model will work.

Importing Animations into Unity

Processing single Files

This is simply dragging the animations into your Assets folder created before (Animations).

All the animations are .FBX files.

Select the Rig tab:

Change the Animation Type to Humanoid and hit Apply.

Malformed Avatars

If you downloaded the blitheness without a model, y'all will probably establish problems with the Avatar Rig. For this reason it is convenient to verify the avatar configuration.

To exercise this Click the configure selection to access the Avatar configuration:

Y'all can run into that hands, legs a and anxiety are not properly aligned

Try to download the animation with a model or apply the avatar plant inside a Pack.

You can follow the steps described afterwards on the animations packs section to change the avatar.

Processing Blitheness Packs

Unzip the animation file and elevate it into the animations folder. I utilize to keep the binder name for easy reference.

The pack contains a model an the animations.

Select the model and mark information technology every bit Humanoid.

Remember to hitting Apply.

Once completed, select only the animation files (all the animation files together).

At the Rig tab select Humanoid and at Avatar Definition select Re-create From Other Avatar.

Drag and Driblet the avatar found within the model included in the pack at the Source field.

Hit Use and await. Every animation will exist adjusted to work as a Humanoid Mecanim blitheness.

Testing the blitheness

If yous select an animation file y'all will see on the inspector a generic model based on the avatar included in the animation file.

Taping on the Play arrow you can play the blitheness clip.

Finally you can drag your ain model inside the inspector window to test if it works properly.

Hope it helps.
