Creating rigs for compatibility with Unity is not without technical challenges. While the process is pretty straightforward, there are several edge cases that a rigger should be aware of.

Animation and rigging is a specialized craft in the development process. Creating animation rigs is a time consuming process and sometimes it takes several people to create a rig that meets all of the needs of a project. With Unity’s Animation Rigging tools, the amount of time and manpower is reduced because of the flexibility and robustness of these tools.

This tutorial will guide you through the process of rigging and animating in UModeler X. In Rigging Mode, you will learn how to animate your model by assigning and modifying weights on the meshes.

The Animation Rigging package enables users to set up procedural motion on animated skeletons at runtime. One of the predefined animation constraints is called Damped transform, this constraint allows damping the position and rotation transform values from a source GameObject to a constrained GameObject. In this tutorial, we will look into how to set up that within the Prototype Series - Procedural Boss project!

In development at Unity is a 2D Animation package that allows you to rig Sprites as one might rig a 3D model for animation. In this tutorial, you will go through the process of importing the 2D Animation package and rig a sprite ready to be animated. You will learn about all the features of the 2D Animation package, including Bones, Weights and Sprite Skins.

UModeler X is a comprehensive 3D content creation tool for the Unity engine, offering an intuitive interface suitable for both beginners and professionals. It integrates various features like modeling, UV unwrapping, rigging, and painting directly within the Unity Editor, eliminating the need for external 3D software. By the end of this course, you will have learned to navigate UModeler X's interface, use its basic functions, create and edit 3D models, perform UV editing, rig for animating models, and paint 3D models using its different modes.

Animators use control rigs to control assets used to create animations. In this workflow, you’ll learn guidelines and best practices for creating control rigs in Maya. These guidelines will help you create custom control rigs that can be cleanly exported as FBX files for use in Unity.

In this workflow, you’ll learn about baking animation. Baking is a necessary step to be able to export your animations as FBX. This is because control rigs contain Maya specific nodes that are not compatible with FBX. Therefore we must bake our animation onto just the nodes that are compatible with FBX: joints and blendshapes.

This tutorial provides an overview of UModeler X's primary interface. The key elements of UModeler X include the icons located at the top of the Scene tab, the components visible when you create or select a UModeler X object, the Tools option in Unity's main menu, and the UModeler-specific context menu, accessible through right-clicking in the Hierarchy window.
