Including 2D Inverse Kinematics (IK) in the 2D Animation package

[rustum]

We have decided to make 2D Inverse Kinematics (IK) a fully supported feature going forward.

To do this we’ve decided to include IK in the 2D Animation package from 5.0.0 onwards. This will simplify its deployment and reduce confusion. This is planned for Unity 2020.2.

Once this is released, if you are using the 2D IK preview package you will have to uninstall it and install the latest 2D Animation package.

We expect all scenes and projects that utilise 2D IK to be upgradable in this way. If you have questions or concerns about this plan, let us know about it in this thread.

Hi Rustum,

How would we use IK packages in present 2D Animation versions in the mean time?

I know they functioned in older versions (because YT videos), but they seem to have been disabled in Version 3.2.2??

Thanks in advance<

Hiya Matt! Which version of Unity are you on? We’ll check it out and get back to you shortly.

For 20.1 and before, you will still use IK as is i.e installing the IK preview package from Package Manager.

Version 3.2.2

Which product version is this referring to?

I’m currently using 2020.1.0b10.3837 and have 2DAnimation installed and updated, but do not have the IK package available from package manager and do not have any IK Manager components available to add either.

Hi, in 2020.1, you will need to go to Project Settings → Package Manager and explicitly enable showing of Preview Packages.
Let me know if this works.

I went to project settings as described but in the sidebar there was no Package Manager option. My version is 2019.4.4f1 and on Linux.

So, any advice, tip or help regarding my previous post? If need more detail, feel free to ask.

Sorry for the late reply. In 19.4, you will need to turn it on from the Package Manager->Advanced

Yes I found it it works now. Thank you very much.
