Anybody here know anything about animating, 3d studio Max, Unity

>>722711374
Specifically exporting multiple animations into Unity from 3ds max, then coding them to all work in sync

>>722711374
Tf, doesnt anyone here do anything productive?

yes. but blender, not max.

>>722711970
what do you mean work in sync
??

can't use animation events and the animator?

>>722711970
Specific animations are set at different places in the timeline, ex frame 100 to 200 is walking , 300 to 3 50 jumping. But it works terrible, many things won't import right you're better off learning the Unity’s built in animation system.

Well im creating a character for a game, in 3dsmax.
Ive made 6-7 seperate animations for him e.g
Walk, run, jump, crouch and so on.
Ive saved them all as seperate .MAX files and want to import them into unity and some how det it up so that when i move around, the 'walk' animation is called, and when i hold shift to sprint, the 'run' animation is called and so on...

Do i import the non animated rig, then apply all the animated versions to him?

>>722712656
So far im able to import them into Unity, and make it so that the animation tuns when i press play, but thats not what i want.

I am a fucking potato when it comes to Unity/ coding.
My main area is 3d modelling/ rigging /animating.
However i need to make my character work properly withing Unity as part of my assessment.
I.e transition from a walk cycle to a run cycle when the corresponding keys are pressed.
Also he has to be able to jump/ sneak...

Bra you're a slapdick, you need to put the mesh/rig in one gameobject, then give it an anim controller or animaton component, with the anim controller its a chart you can use "mecanim" to drive the animations using floats and decimals sent by the input keys using c#. otherwise you can use the animation component to play different animations on your animation list with different keystrokes, also using c#.

google that up, "driving mecanim with c#" and google "adding animations to mesh unity"

Most importantly, don't ever give up. If you give up, you're worthless.

just saiyan, this is going to be hardmode if you have no coding experience. might want to watch a bit of youtube tutorials on "setting up character in unity" and search by most recent, then go from there.

>>722713229
Alright, so create empty GameObject, parent it to the unanimated mesh/rig, give it an animation controller then slap all the animated versions into that and i should be able to call upon them with different keystrokes?

Yeah thats basically it, you need to access the animation component through c#


need to create a c# script and code something with a bunch of if then statements like

if(Input.GetKeyDown("f")) {
animation.Play("animationname");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp("f")) {
animation.Stop("animationname");

if(Input.GetKeyDown("g")) {
animation.Play("Gun and run");
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp("g")) {
animation.Stop("Gun and run");

but do that for all desired animations/keystroke combinations and place it in the

void update ()

portion of the script. then attach that script to the desired game object (in this case your character with the mesh, rig and animation component)

if you can figure out that you'll probably be smart enough to fool if you've got some time.

Fuck man that sounds good, ill go have a fiddle.
TY very much

You need to use an animation controller component idjet
