Release Notes: Discord
Are you tired of repetitive manual configuration?
Are you working on tens of thousands of animations?
Do you want bone layer blended for animation?
Do you want a more accurate distance matching curve?
Do you want to generate foot step Pos/Lock/IK curves(notify) automatically?
Do you want a tool that includes all the animation features?
Let “Virtual Animation Tools” help you solve them!
BoneTools:
- Add Bone (Add weapon bones, IK bones, camera bones and other unskinned weight bones)
- Remove Bone ( Remove unskinned weight bones)
- Add Animation Bone Data (Add or fix the bone data on the animation, such as adding the initial data of the fixed camera)
- Modify Animation Bone Data (You can modify each frame of animation data, such as repairing animation jumping caused by too much value change)
- Remove Animation Bone Data
- Baking Bone Data
<1> Bake animation attack frame for low frame rate client or server
<2> Bake the specified bones. On the server, we can use this data to simulate the head and torso positions of crouching, crawling, etc.
- Blend Animation Bone Layer (Similar to the animation node Layered Blend Per Bone)
<1> Convert arm animation to full body animation (FPS to TPS)
<2> Blend with other animations, such as repairing missing hand animations in motion capture animations, etc.
- Constraint
<1> Constraining IK and FK bones.
<2> Copy the data on the IK weapon bone to the hand weapon bone.
CurveTools:
- Motion Curve (Distance matching curve, sample per-axis data on the root bone for distance matching)
- Bone Curve (Support vector, transform curves)
- Copy Curves
- Transfer Curves
- Sort Curve (Sort the curves in the initial order)
- Remove Curve (Delete specified or clear all curves)
- Output Curve (Export the specified animation curves data to an external curve asset,support float curve, vector curve)
Notify Tools:
- Add Notifies (It is an instantiated data, which means you can modify your custom variable data here)
- Modify Notifies(You can collect animation notifications used by current animation assets and modify their positions, variable parameters, etc.)
- Remove Notifies(The specified animation notification class, location, notification track, etc. can be deleted in batches)
- Add Notify Track
- Modify Notify Track(You can capture the animation notification track names used by the current animation asset and modify them)
- Remove Notify Track (it will delete all animation notifications on that track)
- Generate FootStep Notifies(You can use this feature to automatically generate an animated notification that plays footstep sounds)
Montage Tools:
- Montage Slot Modifier(Can be added, modified, deleted like the source engine)
- Montage Loop Section (Set the section marked "Loop" fragment as a loop fragment, if the character is not found, set all fragments as a loop)
Asset Tools:
- Crop(Can delete any range of frames)
- Insert(Can insert a specified continuous pose to any frame)
- Resize(Resize animation sample frame rate and length)
- Composite(Multiple animation assets can be merged and blended)
- Replace animation pose frames (which can fix animation assets that do not match the poses of the first and last loops)
- Rate Modifier: Modify animation play rate and output the one rate asset.
- Sample Motion Data
<1> Convert the motion capture animation to the root motion animation.
<2> Convert root motion animation to motion capture animation.
<3> Data of motion capture can be sampled and baked into the root motion after secondary adjustment
- Convert Root Motion Data(Can scale the size of the root motion data, or sample the root motion data curves and perform secondary adjustment)
- Motion Capture Reset To Zero(The initial position of the motion capture animation can be reset to the origin)
- Generate LODs
<1> Can generate LOD with deformed data.
<2> Batch generation of LODs for multiple skeletal meshes.
- Remove LODs(Batches)
- Export(Export resampled animation assets, refer to the engine recording)
Mirror Tools:
- Sample
<1> Mirrored bones can be selected, full body/upper body/local body
<2> Can choose to overwrite or create a new asset
- Bone Tree(Automatically sample bone data to generate a mirrored bone tree, eliminating the need to manually configure bone information)
Retarget Tools:
- Pose
PoseSearch Tools:
- Distance(It will generate a unique value for each pose, which is a compressed pose password)
- Animations(Each frame of animation A will be generated corresponding to the position of animation B)
GameFramework Tools:
- Foot IK(Generate disabled or enabled footsteps IK alpha curve)
- Foot Lock(Generate footsteps Lock alpha curve)
- Foot Offset (which can be used to determine whether the footstep has shifted or not)
- Foot Weight(Generate footsteps weights curve,Indicates whether it can meet the connection Stop animation, etc.)
- Foot Position(Generate footsteps position curve,often used to distinguish between left foot or right foot)
