Navigate to the model in Unity's Project window and select it. Make sure that the model is currently not used in the Pose Editor because otherwise selecting isn't possible. The inspector will now show the import settings for that model.
|
||
|
|
</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="listItem"><span class="listText">
|
||
|
|
Open the <b>Rig</b> tab and select the bone/transform that should be used to drive Root Motion as <b>Root node</b>. Use the same bone/transform that was used to drive Root Motion in the 3D modeling application. If there are existing animations in separate files (this is a common practice), also select the same Root node there. If there is no Root Motion animation for the model yet, you can choose a bone/transform that fit's best for your purpose. It makes sense to either use the topmost bone (commonly named "Root", "Armature" or "Bip001") or to select none. In the latter case, the GameObject's root will be used.

|

|
|
<li class="listItem"><span class="listText">
|
||
|
|
If you have existing animations that are driven by Root Motion, switch to the "Animations" tab in the import settings of that animation (if it is in a separate file). Then scroll down to <b>Motion</b> and select the same bone/transform there.

In the Clip Editor of UMotion, the same bone/transform that was previously selected in the model import settings needs to be set to drive root motion. Therefore the context menu of the appropriate animated property needs to be opened in the Animated Properties List (<span class="keyboardKey">context click</span> on the property or <span class="keyboardKey">left click</span> on the gear icon) and <b>Root Motion</b> needs to be clicked (see <a href="AnimatedPropertiesList.html#ContextMenu" class="link">Animated Properties List</a>).
|
||
|
|
</br>Root Motion can be activated for position properties and for rotation properties.

Please note that Unity does not support Euler Rotation for generic root motion curves.

</ul><h2 class="headline2" id="">Using a Root Motion Animation</h2><p class="textBlock">Once the animation is exported as <b>*.anim</b> file, it can be used together with a Unity Animator Controller. It's important that in the Animator Component of the GameObject that will use the animation <b>Apply Root Motion</b> is enabled.
