[RELEASED] Sage Free - The free version of Sage: Anim Graph Editor

Sage Free has just been released in the asset store! I wanted to create a separate thread for any one with questions specific to the Free version. Here is the link: Sage Free | Animation Tools | Unity Asset Store

Let me know if anyone has any questions!

The thread for the full version is here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/120017-RELEASED-Sage-Anim-Graph-Editor-Control-your-Animations-Visually!

Hi.
I have installed and open the Examples scene, this being CodeExample. If I Client Window>Sage Editor it does nothing when the man is selected. Some time I get a error window come up that says Sage Library Loaded error. What am I doing wrong, Thank you. Wayne

So, you are having an issue viewing the included library in the Sage Editor then? If that’s your only problem, you just need to select the Sage Library Asset (in this case SoldierSL) in the inspector, and click on “Open in Sage Editor”. Alternatively, with the Sage Editor open, you can just select SoldierSL, and it will be automatically opened in the Sage Editor. You can refer to the included SageDocumentation.pdf for more details.

Let me know if this the problem you were encountering, and it fixed your issue. As well, feel free to let me know if you have any other questions/issues you need help with.

A new version of Sage has been released!

Version 1.6.6 – 5/26/2013

  • Significantly reduced Sage memory usage.
  • Reduced start up time of Sage Libraries.
  • Added an option to hide links in the Sage editor.
  • Added an option to hide warnings in Sage editor.

An update for Sage has been released…

Version 1.6.7 – 6/19/2013

  • Fixed an issue with deleting variables.
  • Fixed an issue with deleting nodes when closing, and then later opening the editor in the same session.

I just verified the Sage Free example level works both in Unity 3.5.7 and Unity 4.1.5. I’m not quite sure why you are seeing that error…could you please provide more info? What Unity version are you on? What platform are you trying to run on? Did you import Sage Free into a new project or an existing one? Any other info you can provide would be helpful, as I really want to help you figure out your issue. :slight_smile: Thanks!

As it turned out this error is displayed if you do not choose any Sage Library. After selecting the library message disappears and the editor starts.

Oh, ok. Everything else is working fine now then?

Yes. So far, all is stable. If there are any problems I will write. Such a good project definitely need to develop. :slight_smile:

you do not plan to support Generic animations? Of them are very convenient to take the curves.
Maybe you can enter something like this in your editor?

By the way, is there a possibility to use the Asset external variables?

I’ve not thought about it to be honest. Sage was written to wrap up as much of the Animation components functionality as possible. And to add cool features on top of it. :slight_smile: As such, it never occurred to me to integrate support with the AnimationCurve. I’ll keep it in mind for potential future improvements. Thanks for the suggestion!

I assume you mean a public variable on a component? If so, no there is not. I setup the Sage variables to be more robust than a basic variable. If you need a Sage variable to mirror another external variable, you’d have to create a basic script to do so. This way of doing things was actually intended, as demonstrated by the included example scripts.

Sage Free was pulled from the Asset Store due to it having a watermark. However, you can still download it here: http://www.alteredr.com/sage/
