Change existing character model

Hey guys,

So I’m very new to Unity3D and had a question concerning changing an existing graphic into another. I downloaded the Standard Assets for Unity and came across the default 3rd Person Controller. I like it but I would like to add in my own character model and not the construction worker (who looks like Bob the Builder’s half cousin twice removed). How can I go about doing this?

Thanks

If you want to put in your own character, first import the model into your project, then in the import settings cut it up into animations. (Remember that you need to animate your model for it to look nice in the scene). As long as the animations have the same names, you should then be able to drop it into your scene, and then carefully manually set up all the same components that the default 3rd-person controller has on him so that they use your character instead.

After you’ve done that, you might want to look around for alternative 3rd-person camera/motor combinations- in my experience, the one that ships in the standard assets is somewhat clunky.
