Awesome.

Hi, Mitch, how to bind this 'ground constaint' with 2D collider?

Once again amazing work Mitch!! Still waiting on our animator to wrap up some of the new animations, but I can't wait to dig into this stuff! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One question! Can I change the prefabs which spine imports to me? (Scale, Position).

I changed some prefabs and it seems spine reseted everything to default sometime! Am I doing it wrong?

Hey Mitch,
Could you do a walk through of rigging a character specifically using constraints, deforming one image with multiple bones.
Thanks.

I really dig that ground constraint functionality, but here's one thing that's not really clear to me - what if I wanted to have rigidbody component on that raptor, so that I can have gravity and apply force to him?

If I understand it correctly, by adding the rigidbody, the raptor would now "fall through" the platform underneath him. I would therefore need to add a boxcollider2d to the raptor, which would in turn interfere with those ground constraints - just try adding a boxcollider2d and then test the raptor on the an inclined platform - it looks weird.

Or better yet, here are some pictures from our test - just a simple sticky figure.
On the first picture, you see our sticky figure as he should look on a horizontal platform.

However, when you rotate the platform to an inclined position, his hind leg stands out (second picture). The box collider is too low, preventing the ground constraints to do their job.

On this picture, you see the sticky hero as he should ideally look on an inclined platform - which we achieved by moving the collider a little bit higher.

However, when you rotate the platform so that it's horizontal, he now looks weird (a marriage proposal, maybe?).

There's no way to position the collider in a way that would look good on an inclined plane and simultaneously look good on a horizontal plane. It's either or. We also tried to substitute the box collider with a small circle collider centered at the bottom, which looked slightly better, but not perfect, especially on higher inclines. We also tried having two circle colliders, one for each leg, but that doesn't work either.

Is there any way to use the rigidbody component and the ground constraints at the same time?

On a different note - thanks for all the hard work! It's really awesome just to be able to play with this stuff in the editor.

That sounds like a job for Shiu lol

Seriously though I'm probably going to talk through making a gun control rig with constraints, I guess I can 2-part it and cover initial setup n stuff too.

I've actually just done a video on that topic. Video is encoding now and will be uploaded to YouTube within the next 15 minutes

Video is now up

Speaking of the platformer example from Mitch.
If I walk down stairs or angled platforms, the player is keep falling rapidly, what stops the player from being able to jump. Is there an easy way to prevent this?

edit: Found some solutions here ->

I hope I'll get them work with Mitch's platformer controller example.

Thanks Shiu, Really helpfull

Hi! We're using Spine for animations at our work, and only just getting into it. Fascinating program!

The programmers are running into an issue though where Unity doesn't seem to be able to process any of our Stepped/no interpolation commands in Spine. Is there some process we're missing?

Example: if we have image01 on frame 5, and image02 on frame 10, and we don't want it to tween between them... Currently we have to copy frame 5 and paste it on frame 9. Is there a simpler way to do this so the Unity program just knows when tweens aren't supposed to happen? (It's also causing rare, very very rare, flickers between swapping graphics in adjacent frames because we can't set it to no-interpolation for Unity. Very rare! It works smoothly like 95% of the time.)

EDIT:
It would also be nice if there was a feature that allows us to remove interpolation from certain frames in our animation, on the anim side! That would be soooo sweet.

Thanks!

@MelanieA you can select keys in the Dopesheet then in the Graph Editor set the keys to be stepped. This can be done on the white keys in the top row of the Dopesheet to affect all keys on that frame.

Heya!

I did know about these, but when it gets to the programmer, for some reason in unity it doesn't seem to recognize that particular command no matter how we put it in?

In that case I think Mitch will need to take a look at it.

Actually, Shiu, the programmers just retried it with the Stepped graph curve and it worked fine! XD I guess they hadn't tried that particular thing before. Thanks a bunch!!!

Hi Mitch! I have been searching for an example of this all over the internet but have come out empty handed, perhaps you could shed some light. The simplest way i could explain what i want to do is what your site defines as Procedural Animation. I would like to walk and shoot/attack at the same time. If there is already an example or tutorial that shows how to do this please point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance!

hi,how to use IK in unity?

@Halfbiscuit. There's no such thing as PlayAnimation natively in the Spine runtime. That method signature also looks unusual. You must have implemented something yourself.

But yes, SetAnimation requires that you specify a track number as the last parameter.
Setting an animation on 0, and then another on 1 will make it play both animations at the same time.

Hi ,

We are using Spine and Unity. But the issue we are facing is that on one or two frames are being lost when the same animation is exported and run using Unity. Things are fine when we use the same in Spine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@Pharan Yep my mistake, I used my own function as an example.

skeletonAnimation.state.SetAnimation(track, name, looping);

is what is needed.

Also

skeletonAnimation.GetCurrent (track);

can be used to change the time scale and other variables after the animation has been set.

Hi everyone! I plan to buy Spine this weekend will this runtime support the latest version of Spine and Unity 4.6.1? thanks

Yes, it works with 4.6.1.

And you'll be in good company.
Lots of people using it (based on forum posts at least). Lots of people checking for bugs, awesome people improving it and fixing stuff.

Mr. raptor has baked translate handle pie!

Wohoo! Spine + Mecanim love. I think there was some tool floating around last year to import Spine exports as anims, nowhere as powerful and elegant as this though.
Don't know how you're doing it but awesome job, Mitch.

That bit in the beginning was filler.
Sure, thanks for the image, not for the totally almost-useless facts about the spine runtime skin system. XD

Forget that. What happened to Moo's butt?

Her anal glands were filling up weekly so we had them removed a while ago. She's fully recovered now, but there was the risk of permanent incontinence and her poor bunghole was a ghastly sight. Good for waking up Mitch when he gets off topic! 8) Little Moo also had giardiasis a few months ago, I have a few bloody stool pics Mitch hasn't seen. Yet. :devil:

You know people can get giardiasis too, right?
You should have your butt checked, and your anal glands cleared. And don't touch the pizza.

Spine and Mecanim! That is seriously awesome.
