Hi All,
Just been using Mechanim for a little while now and I’ve found the transition from the legacy system a little tough at times but overall I feel like this is a better solution but there are a few things that make working with it tedious -
No zoom in the graph editor - Anyone who’s used Mechanim will understand the pain here.
Copy/Paste transitions - It would be ace to be able to copy and paste transitions or just drag the transition to another state.
Replace States - I manually wanted to replace this idle with a sub state machine but I’d have to manually recreate 12 transitions from scratch. (which would mean writing down all of the settings)
Duplicate state - It would just be handy to be able to do this every now and then when you have a really complex blend setup.
I reckon Mechanim is great and there heaps of things about it that are saving heaps of time and making cool things possible but, it just feels like refactoring the graph is so time consuming that it’s off putting to try out interesting things that might make the animation work turn out better.
If it was more flexible it could be a joy to use.
Anyway, I just had to get these off my chest
Pete.
(and hopefully I’m wrong about some of that stuff and it can actually be done!)
