I have a playable graph with some animations. However, I want an input animation to have a different weight for the upper body than the lower body. I found I can do this using AnimationLayerMixerPlayable. However, to do that I need to start 2 of the same animation (and keep them synced). If I try to connect the output of an AnimationPlayable to two different layers with different weights, an error will occur since one output can only be connected to one input.
What I’d like is to create a PlayableBehaviour that basically just duplicates the frame data from its input to 2 separate outputs. However, I have no idea how to make that happen. Anyone know?
Bump. This is kind of blocking me. The only thing I can do is start 2 of the same clip and sync the times, which is needlessly slow and becomes hard to do when the inputs are more complex than a single clip.
I don’t think it’s possible. I tried to implement a similar feature but was never able to find a way to split the output of a Playable like that.
Hmm OK then is there a good way to make it so weights on head/arms are different from weights on lower body but animation is the same? Basically I have conversation animations that can start when character is standing in run pose. If I just blend to them, there will be too much foot sliding. If I play only top half of animation while bottom half is still shuffling feet, it looks bad. So I want to blend 2 animations but with different percent on each.
Upper body is 90% conversation, 10% idle.
Lower body is 10% conversation, 90% idle.
Both sides use same input animations though.
Connect a regular mixer to each of the layer mixer’s inputs, then you can set the weights on those regular mixers as desired.
Yes so this works but I need to duplicate animation inputs. If I try to connect same input to multiple outputs it throws error.
One of the inputs is very complex since it is from MxM so like 8 clips and its own internal mixer.
That’s what the regular mixers are for. They each have two inputs, each of which is connected to its own clip playable.
Yes but input can’t be to multiple outputs. Maybe a diagram will help explain what I want to do:
Locomotion and Converation can only connect to one output not to both.
Yeah, you just need two copies of each clip playable. I thought that was clear from the beginning when I said you can’t split outputs.
