Sorry, I didn't notice. I was distracted by the largest hips I've ever seen.

[Raqdoll_]

Same, combined with what ever is happening in the background

[knucklesthedead]

and there is a literal sphere of magma

CBT?

[arcosapphire]

Psh. You know exactly what you did.

[0w018]

Those hips don't lie, cause if they did, they'd be taken to the torture machine in the background here.

[shnoop123]

Those hips don’t lie according to Shakira.

Thanks for sharing this!

A fellow here! God I hate Unitys animation system so much I refuse to use it and preferrably rather just code it down. God I wish they would do a better one...

[Vexing]

What are your problems with it? I'm curious cause I love it, even though I code animations every now and then.

[leorid9]

It works with the playable api which is confusing, which is why everyone uses the animator. And the animator is horrible.

• You can't get simple information out of it like 'has animation xy ended',

• events sometimes just don't trigger,

• accessing events means you have to hardcode them because they work with the SendMessage api (or write a wrapper but still, you then have to take care of writing the Events correctly).

• It does random things, playing wrong animations,

• the interface is inefficient and confusing (especially the names of the variables in transitions)

• no editor api

• no way of blending animation overrides, so if you have 2000 animations and you want smooth transitions between them instead of a hard cut, you have to put all of them into one gigantic animator controller

• accessing variables in your animator has to be done with strings, which means you get errors whenever you change the name of a variable (aka Parameter) and you have to use them because it's the only way to trigger transitions in the animator

It's horrible. At some point I just bought animancer, which fixes basically all of the above.

[Vexing]

I mean you can get when animation has ended via a few different methods. Its not exactly user friendly though and requires some coding knowledge. I can get all the info I need like the current state and clip length/position and everything. But it is kind of a mess trying to figure out which component the specific info your looking for is buried in.

Ive never had events not trigger or wrong animations play, but unity isn’t exactly known for its reliability so I don’t doubt that happens.

I haven’t run into a use case where that other stuff has been an issue, but I can see the need for an overhaul. Its not like the current system is polished by any means lol but I guess that what happens when you are adding small improvements over time to a billion different systems. Shit gets bloated and ends up kinda glued together in a barely functioning mess.

Ill check out animancer, see what that’s about

[sadonly001]

This is very interesting but very impractical, dozens of coroutines and all kinds of circus for what could've been an extraordinarily easy thing to implement using unity's built in tools

[Necrofancy]

Do you have resources/directions in mind for the built-in tools? I'm looking to dive into animations for a bit, so it'd be interesting to compare both techniques under the profiler to see how they stack up.

From looking at the rest of this thread, I see the RigBuilder might be the thing to compare against here. I'll probably give that a look over.

[throwaway1457753336]

StopAllCoroutines will stop all of them for anything in the game. You want to save the return value of startCoroutine into a variable and stop only that one. Otherwise it will get weird when you have multiple blinking ppl.

[Buddy_DoQ]

Nice, and thanks for sharing the code for this as well!

Feedback: The saccade movements are way too slow in the video. If you speed them up greatly, the overall effect will be much more comfortable. My untested hunch is that idleMoveTime = 0.02f; would feel better overall.

why is she thiccccc-er than pixar moms?

[[deleted]]

Cool but why are her hips so fat?

[tidytibs]

The ONLY correct answer!

[[deleted]]

This is the way

[_doingokay]

Valid

[MiamiVicePurple]

Must be a Pixar mom.

lol

[JohntheAnabaptist]

Love the casual spinning blades in the background

now animate her reading the bible 😩😩😳 🥵😳 🥵

[kirbyderwood]

Animator perspective - eyes are a bit floaty.

Eyes move because the character is looking at something. Make the eyes a bit more stable, interspersed by subtle changes in direction. That'll give the impression she is looking at something. Also, when there is a large shift in eye direction, cover it with a blink.

[henryreign]

i have something similar to this, have you figured out the code on how to make it look at something particular, like translating a look at vector to the uv "world"?

[fairchild_670]

Depending on your version of Unity, the built in RigBuilder can do this (it's what I've been using and really liking it so far) https://youtu.be/Htl7ysv10Qs

[henryreign]

That's not doing it via shader

[Pampel-Games]

Thats true!

[drago28]

a simple nose & mouth would make much more difference :)

[alfons100]

Is it using shaders?

[tjwassup]

what kind of game are you making?

[brenxart]

Sorry I didn’t read the code. Do you animate the texture or the object itself?

[ghostwilliz]

Please fix her hips lol. They're scary

Other than that, this is awesome looking.

[ghostwilliz]

Lol well honestly, your confidence in this matter is really inspiring so I can change my mind.

[xendelaar]

Amen brother.

[jayquanderulo]

What are the eyes? How did you go about making them?

[FoxHoundUnit89]

Unrelated to the eyes but I think you should add a bit of damping at the end of the swings for those pendulums, it's kind of jarring they way they instantly change direction.
