Hi,
My son and I are in the process of learning Mecanim and Playmaker and are having a bit of trouble with bones.
I created a PalmGrip bone in the characters hand, in blender, to provide a location for a character’s gun. Having no weight, or not being assigned to deform causes Unity to strip this bone from the model when it gets imported. Adding a Blender empty doesn’t help as that gets removed as well. Assigning a small amount of weight to the bone, and a vertex group doesn’t seem to work either, despite this being the hack recommended on the web. It seems that unity has just decided not to have a PalmGrip Bone/Empty. Any insight into this please?
We have temporarily parented the gun to the characters main hand bone for now - is there a tutorial anyone can recommend for aim and shoot animations in the Animator? Not sure how best to approach the whole thing. We’ve got WASD and mouselook working - should aim and shoot be an animator node transitioning from the top level Movement node, or be inside that, transitioning from Walk - or something else?
My MediumRobot is just itching to shoot some stuff.
Thanks for reading,
StuartD
