MOTION MATCHING FROM SCRATCH!
the last week has been crazy. I have found more data from a unity demo of a long discontinued motion matching asset and I have retargeted the animation in blender and brought it into unity with proper root motion. since this was my first time using more then one animation clip with EVERYTHING I expected bugs and errors AND THAT I GOT. I had to go in and rewrite a really small chunk of how the dataset maker compiles the trajectory data. I had to make the matcher actually handle more then one clip as well as dig into a null reference error it was giving me so I had to dig into it more and learn that the dataset was still flawed and go back and do more to the editor AND THEN ONCE the data was good now the matcher scales the character to like 300% or something and I never even told it to touch scale so now I have to properly set up multi-animation unity playables since before I didn’t know that you couldn’t just set all the blend weights to one and hope for the best. now finally after all of that. it appears to match and hold onto a frame. I have a few last features to implement into it that being velocity matching so then it wont just hold a frame but understand that arms move and swing. as well as debug info for both me while testing as well as for you my dear hackclubbers so when I ship you all can see a bit into the inner workings of it.
thank you for coming with me on this journey I never expected it to go this long but it feels good to have at least one person interested in what I’m working on for once and not just get shrugged off. - Ash ❤️
