    For those still getting a pink Jammo after "Render Pipeline > Universal Render Pipeline > Upgrade project materials to UniversalRP Materials", click on your materials folder that was imported, and for each of them, go to the top - Shader > Legacy Shaders > Bumped Diffuse. That will make it look like what Nicky has.
    Also, great series!

    Was dreading animation for weeks and putting it off, expecting it all to go horribly wrong. Got my custom-made blender characters rigged and functional within an couple days thanks to this series. Unity should pay you for these, quality is insane.

    Would love a tutorial on Overriding animations/bones, e.g having an character turn their head to look at the player while still playing a walk animation. I'm pretty sure it's something Unity can now handle without the need of 3rd party assets, but I still extremely new to Unity's animation system. However, your videos have made it FAR easier to digest!

  • @harrison298
    @harrison298 3 года назад

    I love the detail in these videos. I've watched this video 4 times now hoping to find the answer to why my animations aren't playing on my new character model. Alas, no solution yet.
    All I did was scale my player model in Blender to 0.8x, then reimported into Unity as a .fbx. I changed the animation type to "Humanoid" in the model import settings in Unity, and I configured the avatar so that all of the transforms were matched up correctly.
    Then, I went into my Scene hierarchy, and removed the full Root hierarchy from my Player object, as well as the object that holds the skinned mesh renderer. I then replaced it with the new resized versions. Everything looks great in the scene view before pressing play.
    But when I press play, none of the animations work. Interestingly, I CAN get the animations to work with the scaled-down model by selecting the old Avatar in the Animator. But this causes the character to look very distorted and mangled.
    With the new avatar from my scaled-down model that I imported from Blender, the model is stuck in the T-pose. For anyone who is miraculously still reading this long comment, do you have an idea of why my animations aren't working? I'm completely out of things to try to get my scaled-down player model to work properly. I wish there were a RUclips tutorial out there to accomplish this seemingly simple task.

    TIPS: if you still suffer from weird animation. You can try to change somethings as below: in Rig tab, in Avatar Definition, choose "Copy from other Avatar" then you can choose an avatar downloaded from Mixamo. In Animation tab, scroll down to the bottom, in Motion,/Root motion node, choose "Root transform". It saved me from weird animation, hope it helps you too.
