Mixamo Animation Retargeting

UNAmedia · November 15, 2018, 4:07pm

Hi. We received all of your messages I checked using the “RootmotionExample” Animation Sequence in the ContentExamples, and this is the findings:

when the “EnableRootMotion” flag is unchecked, both the animations “translate” the preview character in the preview scene (and, with Character > Bones > All Hierarchy selected you see the root bone in red, tracking the character position). The same as your first GIF.

when the “EnableRootMotion” flag is checked, both the animations are are played “in-place” - i.e. the character is not “translated” in the preview scene and remains at the center of the scene. The same as your second GIF.

The third GIF you posted has the option “Character > Animation > Process Root Motion” enabled, and it’s used to “simulate” the root motion animation when applied to a playing character. Technically it continues to apply the root motion transformation to the character, accumulating such transforms until you stop the animation. This test seems to fail with some retargeted animations, we’ll check it in the next weeks. We’ll post back with our findings when done. Thanks for the report.

We should be able to release a fix next week.
