Version Number Definition

Version Number Definition

UMotion V1.29p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a null reference exception that is thrown when a character with a missing script is assigned to the UMotion pose editor and the UMotion callback mechanism is in use.
• Fixed that importing animation clips from another UMotion project that contains re-ordered animation layers fails.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.29p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that selecting bones is not possible under a specific combination of project settings and 3D character on Mac OSX.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.29p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the "Texture ST" property isn't previewed correctly by UMotion's custom property constraint (correct: X, Y ... tiling; Z, W ... offset). Removed "Texture Texel Size" from the selected animatable properties as there seems to be no official Unity API to preview it's changes correctly (and there shouldn't be much practical use to animate this property anyway).

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.29

New or Changed Features

• Added new methods/properties to the UMotion API "ClipEditor" class: DeleteClip(), GetLastKeyFrame(), ImportClips()
• Added new methods/properties to the UMotion API "PoseEditor" class: Pivot (get/set), GetAllTransforms(), GetTransformChildCount(), GetTransformChildAt(), GetMirrorTable(), SetTransformIsSelected(), GetTransformIsSelected(), TrySetFkWorldPosition(), TrySetFkWorldRotation(), GetCustomPropertyConstraintNames(), TrySetCustomPropertyConstraintValue(), CopyToOtherSide()
• Added a "Copy Pose" and "Paste Pose" button to the Pose Editor's "Tools" foldout.
• When the pose editor window is opened but the clip editor window is not opened, a button is now displayed in the pose editor window that opens the clip editor on click.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the FBX export feature doesn't set the "Root Motion Node" setting correctly to "<Root Transform>" when the exported animation clip has the root transform selected as root motion node in the Clip Editor.
• Fixed an exception that is thrown when importing an animation clip that has a quaternion curve that is missing some keys on one of the components (x, y, z, w).

Manual Changes

• Fixed a dead link in the "Exporting Animations FAQ".
• Added descriptions of the new properties/methods to the UMotion API chapter.
• Added a description of the new copy/paste pose buttons to the "Pose Editor/Pose Mode/Tools" chapter.

UMotion V1.28p04

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an error message regarding "Arial.ttf" when opening UMotion in Unity 2022.2 alpha.
• Fixed that in Unity 2022.2 alpha a error dialog is shown that states that the FBX dlls can't be found.
• Fixed that the clip tab in the settings window isn't displayed correctly on Linux.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.28p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the IK setup wizard doesn't extrude the IK pole handle's position when the IK chain contains an in-between joint (auxillary joint) that is at the exact same location as the knee/ellbow joint.
• Fixed that the IK solver doesn't bend correctly when the IK chain contains an in-between joint (auxillary joint) that is at the exact same location as the knee/ellbow joint.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.28p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that when "Parallel Asset Import" is enabled, the FBX Exporter displays a "Failed to write FBX importer clip settings! Please contact support." error.
• Fixed that in Unity 2021.2 and above, the tool assistant window is clipped at the bottom of the scene view window.
• Fixed that in newer Untiy versions, the text of links turn black once the mouse hovers over them.
• Fixed that decimal separators in floating point input fields are dependent on the current OS culture. The behaviour should now be in-line with how default Unity float fields work.
• Fixed that the error message "The same Component Properties are defined in multiple Custom Property Constraints:" is shown even though there is only one custom property who's bone/transform isn't locked.
• Changed the "No bone/transform selected" text shown in the constraints panel (config mode) to "No bone/transform selected that is part of this rig." to better indicate that something within the current animated character's/object's rig needs to be selected and external objects won't work.

Manual Changes

• Updated the child-of constraint chapter to clarified that the child-of constraint can only be assigned to joints/transforms that are within the animated character's/object's hierarchy.

UMotion V1.28p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that under certain circumstances, exporting multiple *.anim files at once (export --> all) caused Unity 2021.2 and above to stall for several minutes.

• Fixed that assigning a GameObject that has an inactive parent GameObject doesn't show the "Please activate the GameObject" dialog.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.28

New or Changed Features

• Added new methods/properties to the UMotion API. It is now possible to add custom menu items to the Clip Editor, add custom buttons to the Pose Editor, to modify the bones/transforms local position, rotation and scale, create key frames and more.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an index out of range exception when the root animated game object is assigned to the "Target" field in the IK setup wizard's "Custom IK" section.

Manual Changes

• Added descriptions of the new properties/methods in the "UMotion API" chapter.

UMotion V1.27

New or Changed Features

• Added a "No (all clips)" option for the "... contains animation data for bones/transforms configured as locked" dialog (clip import).
• Properties in the channels view are now displayed as full resolution float values.
• When the UMotion manual was removed from the current Unity project, UMotion now automatically opens the online version of the manual.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that when exporting to *.FBX the animation take end time isn't correct in situations where a long animation take is followed by a shorter animation take.
• Fixed that using undo after opening the IK Setup Wizard doesn't close the window.
• Fixed that if an IK constraint is used in a muted layer, all the bones affected by that IK constraint are included in the exported animation, even if those bones and the IK constraint are not animated in the active animation layers.
• Fixed that if a child-of constraint is used in a muted layer, all the bone/transform affected by that child-of constraint is included in the exported animation, even if the bone/transform is not animated in the active animation layers.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p07

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a "A Native Collection has not been disposed" error message shown when switching between Untiy editor layouts containing UMotion windows.
• Supressed an exception thrown as a result of a Untiy bug in Unity 2021.2. The same bug prevents the tool assistant windows from being displayed in the scene view. Until a fixed Untiy version is available, please either downgrade to 2021.1 or keep using UMotion without the tool assistant windows. Thanks for your understanding.
• Fixed that when exporting to *.anim of type "generic", animated properties are always re-sampled when they have an IK or a child-of constraint setup, even if the constraint isn't actively in-use.

Manual Changes

• Added issue 11 to the "Known Issues" chapter.

UMotion V1.26p06

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a null reference exception that is thrown under specific circumstances when trying to modify a timeline animation.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p05

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that when using "Select All" (to select all bones) and then pressing "Set FK To IK" the FK bones are rotated in a wrong way.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p04

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that in newer versions of Unity 2019.4, the buttons in the mirror mapping dialog don't line up with the names of the mirror mapped bones/transforms.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that in Unity 2020.2 and above, the buttons in the mirror mapping dialog don't line up with the names of the mirror mapped bones/transforms.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Regression: Fixed that it is not possible to save a new UMotion project file in a folder that has just been created inside the "save file dialog".

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an exception that is thrown when executing the IK setup wizard but the animated character has transforms named exactly like the IK handles that are created by the wizard.
• Fixed that opening or saving project files and importing or exporting animation clips within local embedded unity packages is not possible.
• Fixed that the "Root Transform Position (XZ)" isn't set to "Original" by default for exported humanoid animation clips. Thus the root motion offsets authored in UMotion aren't played by the Unity animator by default.
• Fixed that when exporting a humanoid animation clip, "Root Transform Rotation" is always set to "Original" thus overriding any user inteded change of this setting. Now this setting is only set to original when exporting the animation for the first time, and then isn't touched anymore.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.26

New or Changed Features

• Changed the default value of the "Animator Foot/Hand IK" setting in the clip import settings to OFF. This change was introduced to be in-line with Unity's Animator default value for Foot IK (OFF). Please note that in Unity Timeline, Foot IK is ON by default! The new default value is automatically used by all new UMotion project files.
• Changed the default value of the FBX export write mode to "Update Existing File".
• Added info texts to the export settings dialog that are answering some of the most commonly asked support requests.
• It is now possible to add an empty GameObject to the hierarchy of your animated 3D model in Unity and name it the same as a custom transform in your UMotion Project (e.g. "IK_Hand_R"). When assigning the 3D model to the pose editor, UMotion is automatically going to ask if it should convert the custom transform defined in the UMotion project to the existing one. This is useful when the IK handle positions/rotations should also be included in the exported animation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that when assigning a character to the pose editor, in some special cases the error message "Editing the hierachy of a GameObject that is currently used as UMotion preview object is not allowed." is shown.
• Fixed that copy and pasting keys from one animated property to another only copied the X component.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.25p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the docked clip editor window can't be resized in Unity 2021.2.
• Fixed a null reference exception when switching from config mode to pose mode and there are at least two custom property constraints in "component property" mode that have nothing assigned to the "object" field.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.25p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed wrong position/rotation offsets when syncing with Unity Timeline.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.25p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an exception that is thrown as soon as the UMotion clip editor window is opened in Unity 2021.2.
• Fixed that the "Close" button is only partly visible in the settings window in Unity 2020.2 or higher.
• Fixed that a script update dialog shows up when installing UMotion in Unity 2021.2 or higher.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.25

New or Changed Features

• The pivot rotation (local/global) is now synchronized between Unity and UMotion.
• Keying the parent channel/IK pinning channel now only creates additional keys (at current frame - 1) if the parent/IK pinning state actually changed.
• The button "Camera Follow Selected" was added to the selection category of the pose editor. Pressing this button lets the scene view camera follow a bone/transform (very useful for previewing root motion animations).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the "edit key" window (in the curves view) automatically closes as soon as an input field is selected (regression introduced in V1.22p11).
• Fixed that when manually adjusting an euler rotation value in the channels view (e.g. adding +360°), the value modified as soon as it was keyed to be the shortest path rotation instead (discarding the extra 360° rotation). When typing a value manually, the expected behaviour would be to key exactly the value that was previously typed in.

Manual Changes

• Added a description of the "Camera Follow Selected" button to the "Pose Editor --> Pose Mode --> Selection" chapter.

UMotion V1.24p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an "invalid cast exception" that is thrown under specific situations when selecting a bone/transform via a bone/transform selection field's selection dialog.
• Fixed the "Look rotation viewing vector is zero" log message that is logged when an IK target is on the same position as the IK handle.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.24

New or Changed Features

• The "frame view" functionality of the clip editor was improved. Furthermore it can now also be used in the dopesheet.
• The "frame view" functionality now has a default shortcut assigned (SHIFT + F). For existing UMotion installations it is required to set the shortcut manually via the Edit --> Preferences window in the clip editor window.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that browsing for a destination file in the settings window (i.e. clicking on "...") doesn't show the previous selected folder.
• Fixed that selecting a GameObject for the Pose Editor doesn't work on Mac OS when doen via the selection dialog (shown when the white circle is pressed).
• Fixed that UMotion isn't displaying the new rotation handle in Unity 2020.2 correctly (not all lines have the correct thickness).
• Fixed that root motion isn't previewed correctly when there is a rotated parent GameObject.

Manual Changes

• Fixed wrong information regarding generic bones in humanoid projects in chapter "Pose Editor/Config Mode/Configuration".
• Removed a dead link from the "UMotion In Practice - Our First Animation (FPS)" video description.
• Added a description of the "Frame View" context menu entry to the "Clip Editor --> Dopesheet / Curves View" chapter.

UMotion V1.23

New or Changed Features

• Updated the FBX SDK to 2020.0.1. This thus adds compatibility with FBX files created with FBX version 2020.
• The Mac version of UMotion now uses a the same custom FBX library as the windows version of UMotion. This solves the random crashes that the old library had and also adds feature parity between the Mac and Windows version.
• Dropped support for FBX export on Windows 32-bit. Use a Windows 64-bit PC instead.
• Exporting animation clips can now be aborted.
• Decreased the lowest zoom limit in the dopesheet/curves view so that a whole animation with 1-2 minutes of length can be displayed.
• The constraints panel now displays a hint in case no bone/transform is selected.
• The name of the "Apply Reference Pose" button is now switched to "Apply Zero Offset Pose" when the current layer is an additive layer to better indicate the buttons functionality in this case.
• When the "Set FK to IK" button is pressed when an IK handle is selected, all FK bones of the corresponding IK chain are now automatically manipulated. It is thus not needed to select every bone manually.
• The context menu of the channels view now has a new menu item "Zero Property". This is especially useful to reset quaternion based rotations (of which the channel values can't be edited directly).
• Double clicking an animated property (in the animated properties list) now selects all keys of this property.
• The display controls are not disabled anymore while an active animation playback.
• It is now possible to assign shortcuts to the clear/copy/paste menu items of the tool assistant windows.
• Reworked the error message that is shown when a generic animation is imported that is not compatible with the current animated GameObject.
• Animation events now show an enum popup when the selected function's parameter type is an enum.
• Improved the open and save file dialog windows. This dialog windows now remember the last selected location so that when you want all your UMotion projects in one specific folder, the file dialogs always defaults to that folder.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that word wrap is not enabled for the description in the mirror mapping dialog window.
• Fixed a null reference exception that is thrown when importing an animation clip with the "Convert FK to IK" and "Delete FK keys" settings beeing enabled when the current UMotion project contains an IK constraint with the target object field being null.
• Fixed that the "Close" button was only partly visible in the settings window on Mac.
• Fixed an error message "Cancelling Display Dialog : This should not be called when a View's DrawRect Method is in progress." shown when trying to open the clip editor but UMotion misses some resources.
• Fixed that the OK button was only partly visible in the preference's window's settings tab on Mac.

Manual Changes

• All manual pages are now in the root folder of the manual. This solves an issue with Safari not displaying sub pages correctly.
• Added a description of the new "Zero Property" menu item to the "Pose Editor-> Pose Mode -> Channels" chapter.
• Added a description of the new enum popup feature for animation events to the "Clip Editor -> Dopesheet / Curves View -> Dopesheet" chapter.

• Fixed an exception that is thrown in Unity 2020.2 when the "Sync" button is pressed.
• Fixed an exception that is sometimes thrown in Unity 2020.1 when opening the about or the settings window.
• Fixed unpleasant font in the UMotion editor windows in Unity 2020.2.
• Fixed that dragging a single animation clip that is a child of an fbx asset into the animation clip import window causes all animation clips of the fbx asset to be loaded into the import window.
• Fixed that it was possible to enter clip names that contain only whitespaces (in the create new clip name dialog and in the clip settings dialog).
• Fixed that it was possible to enter layer names that contain only whitespaces.
• Fixed that empty clip names or clip names that contain only whitespaces are displayed as separator lines in the animation clip selection popup.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p12

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that exceptions thrown in the "OnDestroy()" Unity event by custom component scripts assigned to a character that is animated with UMotion are falsely detected as UMotion exceptions thus showing the "Ups! UMotion just detected an unhandled exception." dialog.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p11

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an exception that is thrown when currently editing a key in curve mode and then switching to another clip.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p09

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the animation import window doesn't rename same named animation clips in case the fbx files that contain the clips have different names.
• Fixed that the eyes of Unity's "DefaultAvatar" character aren't exported correclty (because the scale pivot was not considered) when exporting in "Update Existing File" mode.
• Fixed an exception that is thrown when opening a UMotion project that wasn't saved to disk since it's creation because Unity crashed before save was pressed for the first time after the creation of the new UMotion project.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p08

New or Changed Features

• Fixed a null reference exception that appears in Unity 2018.4 when the "Unity Recorder" package is installed, a clip is selected in Unity Timeline and "Sync" is clicked in the Clip Editor.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that clicking on the remove all animation layers button doesn't remove the keys of those layers. Creating a new animation layer afterwards thus contains the old keys.
• Fixed that when adding an animation clip to the import dialog and more than 10 transforms of that animation clip do not exist in this project, the clip can not be imported.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Selecting bones/transforms isn't possible when Pro Builder is not in object selection mode. As a consequence, UMotion now automatically sets Pro Builder into object selection mode whenever a UMotion bone is selected.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.22

New or Changed Features

• Holding Alt while clicking on a constraint's foldout arrow (in Config Mode) now folds/unfolds all constraints.
• The name of a "Custom Property Constraint" is now used as its title in the Config Mode constraint panel. This makes it easier to seek for custom properties even when they are folded.
• It is now possible to assign the value of a setting of a "Custom Property Constraint" to all currently selected custom properties (in Config Mode).
• "Custom Properties" are now automatically folded in the Config Mode constraint panel. This increases performance when huge number of custom properties are used.

Bug Fixes

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that switching the animation layer samples the current pose incorrectly if the animation contains a custom property in controller mode.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.21

New or Changed Features

• Changing the framerate of an animation clip doesn't automatically scale the keys/events anymore (this gives the user more flexibility/choices). Keys/events can be manually scaled using the box tool in the dopesheet view.
• When creating a new layer, the layer name text field is now automatically selected.
• A new button was added to the playback navigation that allows toggling the playback stop behavior (i.e. return frame cursor to start or keep current position).
• Changed default shortcut of "Focus Camera" to F (same is in Unity).
• When no UMotion project is loaded, an info message is now shown that indicates that a project can be opened via the "File" menu.
• The animation layers are now accessible via the UMotion API. This makes it easy to write a custom script that exports the same animation clip several times with different animation layers being active.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the shortcuts of the playback settings add their changes to the undo stack while pressing the corresponding UI button don't.
• Fixed that *.FBX export only works correctly when the base layer is selected.
• Fixed that assigning a GameObject to the Pose Editor while in prefab mode is not prevented.

Manual Changes

• Updated the "Clip Editor/Main Navigation/Clip Settings" chapter related to the changed framerate editing behavior.
• Updated the "Clip Editor/Playback Navigation" chapter based on the new button that has been added to the playback navigation area.
• Updated the "UMotion API" chapter based on the added functionalities.

UMotion V1.20p08

New or Changed Features

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that animation curves of a generic animation where the left tangent of the first key or the right tangent of the last key is set to "weighted" isn't played by Unity's animation system.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p07

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Regression: Fixed that moving the frame cursor (green arrow) directly after playback stopped (due to reaching the end) doesn't update the pose of the character.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p06

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the "toggle IK Pinning" shortcut (I) isn't disabled in additive animation layers.
• Fixed that "Auto Key" and "IK Pinning" doesn't work after animation playback finished due to reaching the end (and not moving the frame cursor in the meantime).
• Fixed that undoing the creation of a rotation key in an additive layer causes the pose to be sampled incorrectly when switing back to the base layer.
• Fixed that restarting UMotion while any script in the current Unity project has a syntax/compilation error keeps the "Reloading Assemblies" dialog opened.
• Fixed that sometimes an error message "Unable to resolve reference " is displayed when importing UMotion for the first time (or in some cases when starting Unity).

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p05

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Regression: Fixed an exception that is thrown when opening a custom Unity editor layout that contains UMotion windows.
• Fixed that UMotion automatically saves all files to disk (and not letting Unity decide when to write changes to disk). This works around a Unity bug that freezes Untiy on Mac OS and Linux when the Unity preferences setting "Verify Save Assets" is enabled and UMotion is opened.
• Fixed that FBX exporter exports animated properties even if they are disabled (Config Mode) or have no key frames.
• Regression: Fixed that when selecting multiple keys in the Dopesheet they get immediately deselected if the property (e.g. rotation) of the last selected key is not enabled on the bone/transform of the first selected key.
• Regression: Fixed that an animated property stays selected when it is disabled.
• Regression: Fixed that selected properties/keys in the Clip Editor are deselected when any other UI control (e.g. button, text box,...) is clicked.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p02

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Regression: Fixed an exception that is thrown when using a tool assistant window while pivot is set to "global".

• Fixed that typing a value into a tool assistant window and selecting a different bone applied the changed value to that bone.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Regression: Fixed that bones/transforms get deselected whenever a key is created (either manually or via "Auto Key").
• Fixed an endless loop when a GameObject is assigned to the Pose Editor that doesn't contain all bones/transforms defined in the UMotion project.
• Fixed that transforms with spherical shape had a box shaped collider.
• Fixed that bone/transform colliders aren't at the correct position when using UMotion in (paused) play mode.
• Fixed that frame cursor doesn't return to the start position after playback stopped.
• Fixed that minimizing the maximized Clip Editor closed the current UMotion project.

Manual Changes

None

UMotion V1.20

New or Changed Features

• Selecting keys in the dopesheet now automatically selects the related animated property and the related bone/transform.
• Copy & paste reworked: It's now possible to copy & paste between compatible animated properties.
• Key context menu entry "Select in Scene View" renamed to "Select and Set Frame Cursor".
• New minimum requirement for UMotion is Unity 2017.4 (or higher).
• UMotion now uses assembly definition files for all *.cs files. If desired, UMotion can thus now be placed inside a "Plugins" folder.
• Channels that are not allowed to contain keys in an additive layer are now greyed out in the Animated Properties List.
• UMotion isn't installed to the "Editor Default Resources" folder anymore.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that the Child-Of constraint doesn't correctly calculate the position/rotation when the animated character is scaled.
• Fixed that "select all" in curves view selectes also keys of curves that are hidden (via the eye symbol in the animated properties list).
• Fixed that hiding a curve in curves view via the eye symbol in the animated properties list, doesn't deselect selected keys of that curve.
• Fixed that the tool assistant window isn't correctly displayed in the scene view when "Aura 2" asset is installed in the Unity project.
• Fixed that the move tool doesn't allow moving the hips and the IK pinned legs simultaneously.
• Fixed that the label in the animation event function search window was truncated.
• Fixed that it was possible to add keys to channels that are not allowed to contain keys in an additive layer (e.g. the Child-Of Parent channel).

Manual Changes

• Updated "Dopesheet / Curves View" chapter based on the changed context entry menu.
• Changed minimum required Unity version to 2017.4 on first page of manual.
• Removed known issues that are related to Unity versions older than 2017.4.
• Updated the UMotion folder description in the "Getting Started" chapter.

UMotion V1.19p03

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that custom joints/transforms (like the IK handles) are displayed with the wrong size if a Unity UI canvas is within the GameObject's hierarchy.
• Fixed that right-click on key then clicking on "Left Tangent --> Constant" automatically sets the right tangent to constant, too. The expected behavior would be that the right tangent is set to "free" instead.
• Fixed an error message that is shown when the "Sync" button is clicked when the "Unity Recorder" package is installed in Unity 2018.4.
• Fixed that quaternion rotation curves of generic animation clips aren't exported correctly if the last scale curve in the animation has no key.

Manual Changes

None

None

UMotion V1.01p01

New or Changed Features

None

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that renaming a custom joint/transform that is a direct child of the root GameObject corrupted the UMotion project file.

UMotion V1.01

New or Changed Features

• Added a setting to the preferences window to display key strokes. This is useful when recording video tutorials.
• Added a recently opened projects menu entry into the Clip Editor's file menu.
• The rotation tool now also rotates all selected child bones. This is very useful for animating a tail (e.g. of a dragon).
• Added a button to delete all animation clips to the Clip Editor's main navigation.
• The context menu entry "Select In Clip Editor" of the Channels section can now be accessed via the shortcut system. The default shortcut is SHIFT + C.
• Removed the error dialog that was shown when importing an animation clip that has curves for bones/transforms that don't exist in the opened UMotion Project. Instead, a warning icon is now displayed next to the clip in the import clip list. When the mouse hovers the list entry, a tooltip displays the warning message. This was changed because it was annyoing to get an error dialog for every animation clip in an *.fbx file (there can be quite a lot of clips in a single file).
• Improved the text of the error dialog that is shown when a clip was automatically renamed when beeing added to the importer.
• Added a quality setting for the keyframe reducer to the import settings. The default quality setting is now "Lossless" (in previous versions it was "Lossy"). This reduces jitter of feet and hand of imported animations.
• Reworked the import settings UI.
• Added "Disable Animation Compression" to the import settings.
• When a new key is created (via Key Selected, Key Dialog or Auto Key) the key's tangent mode is now set in respect to the previous and/or following keys. That means that if the existing keys are for example set to tangent mode "linear", the new created key's tangent mode will also be "linear". Previously the key tangent mode for a new created key was always set to "Clamped Auto".
• When the mouse hovers the time ruler in Curves View, only the time axis is zoomed. This is the counterpart to zooming only the y-axis when the mouse hovers the y ruler.
• If an animation event has an active warning message, this warning message is now also shown in the export log window when the clip is exported.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed that opening the manual via "Help / Open UMotion Manual" or via the help buttons isn't working on Mac.
• Fixed that the character is rotated incorrectly after importing a humanoid animation. Occured for characters that had a rotation applied to any parent transform of the humanoid hips.
• Fixed that if a GameObject with a large name is assigned to the Pose Editor, the clear button is not clickable anymore because it is shifted outside the window.
• Fixed that the time ruler labels are interstecting with the lines of the ruler at a certain zoom level.

Manual Changes
