Unity mechanim inherit scale bug

DanBrodie

Hi, I'm encountering an issue where the bones in a spine baked mechanim are inheriting their parents scale when this is turned off in spine. This does not occur in the spine skeletonanimation so we suspect skeletonbaker.cs does not support the inherit scale property when it builds the skeleton.

Here is a GIF of a spine skeletonanimation running in unity:

this is the expected result.

And here is the same animation using the mechanim feature:

the left foot is being scaled (might be hard to identify from these low quality gifs.)

Baked animations do not support all of Spine's features. This includes animated attachment colors, FFD, skinning with reliably more than 4 weights per vertex, and sane C# events.
Disabled scale inheritance is one of those unsupported features.

These are Unity's animation system's limitations. If you want all features, use SkeletonAnimation.

Mitch, could we add like a note or a warning right on the inspector or something?
This isn't the first time people thought baking wasn't a workaround for something and expected it to do everything.

Yea I guess. I did put it right in the top of the comments though.
