For anyone having issues with textures/materials - you will need to also download the character itself (with no animation) and then import it to your hierarchy. Once there, click on it, and on the Inspector go to Materials > unpack both the materials and the textures.
It's ok to download the character with animation. I usually download the character with idle as the animation. Then the rest of the animations, I'll download just the animation without the skin. But definitely yes on the materials. Once you download from Mixamo unpack materials and textures and then reapply the textures to the materials. thanks for the comments here @Wormhole
*Amazing! that's the best tutorial on playmaker blend tree animation movement* I want the run movement to be on Shift Key from the Keyboard and the other movement to be blend tree(idle and walk)
perfect for the gamepad lever but as regards the keyboard or you program the run based on the pressure for example of left shift or it always runs, thanks anyway excellent tutorials always explained clearly
@@BlizStudio How can we add a sprint button, like pressing "Left Shift" for run and release it for walk again? I tried many things but didn't manage it.
I have to say after using and subscribing to other Utube Devs, this guy is the only one who actually goes through step by step and explains only what's necessary in a very informative clear way, Thankyou you are definitely a great teacher. leave you feeling inspired and not confused. I've subbed and awaiting more content on game development using Play maker. If you could look at some VR development using playmaker would make my day as that's what I'm aiming to do . i know that it probably wont be as complex game wise than using code. but looking at something simple to complete. thanks again love the into and word of wisdom and encouragement on your page too
Thanks Brian. I'll definitely get in some VR as well. I had a whole series of VR vids I had recorded but hadn't edited or posted and then hard drive crashed. =( There was also a bunch more mobile stuff on that drive as well but will get back to record those. I'm hoping to ramp up my own VR development this summer too.
@@BlizStudio wow Thanks and fabulous to hear can’t wait I’ve invested in playmaker I’ve learned a bit of code very very basic on Utube tutorials. I’m a newbie still but have a passion to learn game Development to hopefully create my own small game I have a oculus 2 so would like something to learn more on VR dev your Utube channel helps me loads in using playmaker and understanding game development. Thank you for replying and giving me more inspiration you are truly talented skilled dev and tutor. I’m binge watching learning on your video playlist will leave thumbs up on each one. Show my support
Thanks Brian!! Same. i have an oculus 2. Unfortunately i have a mac so dev is just a bit more complicated. If I want to make a change, I have to make a build and push over to my Oculus so a bit more tedious. PC, man you can just hook up and use the Oculus right in the Unity Editor. Makes me want to get a PC just for this purpose (although I'm a hard core Mac guy =)
I was with you right up until hitting Play after adding the Animator Controller and Idle Animation. My character is folded partly in half and stuck partway through the floor. Any idea? TY for the tutorial!
ThnkQ for sharing your knowledge Is there a way to make a 4 different directional movement with playmaker like when the character aim and he moves left, right, front, and back
Thanks a million for this! I always wanted to learn how to use blendtrees and this tutorial uses PlayMaker. When you have the time, can you also show how to use mobile input while using device simulator? It's all that's holding me back. Thanks
Hey Tony, for mobile, I would highly recommend grabbing Lean Touch+ There is a Free version but the paid version is well worth it for mobile and makes mobile input a breeze!!
That's awesome. I have a few tuts on Lean Touch. I need to make more. I did have a bunch that I had recorded but hadn't uploaded to YT yet then my video storage HD bombed. Lost a months worth of recordings. =(
Mmk I'm infuriated there was just 1-2 tiny little more steps I needed to take but I appreciate you putting this out so fast. I had no idea you couldn't use those animations directly. I'm assuming your magnitude is just how much you're moving in general and a vector2/3 is your literal speed in specific directions?
Yep. You actually can use those animations that are internal but you can't loop them. All you really need is the animation out of each and the first model.
lol. Time of playing around, creating tons of prototypes, and just experimenting. Once you start making tons of prototypes on different ideas, you'll start to find the commonalities and methods of creating.
@@BlizStudio I bet it would feel amazing. I wish I had the knowledge that you do. I want to learn. I yearn to learn. Seriously, I have the time & resources. I keep trying every day but tutorials on specific mechanics don’t help. People only explain THEIR mechanics. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t help me particularly. You’re incredibly talented, and I envy you & everything about you
Ah you can do it!! What mechanics are you specifically wanting to try? Firstly don't start out wanting to create a massive AAA game right from the start. Best to try something small and simple just to go through the process. Something like a cookie clicker. Very simple mechanics. Creating UI, Clicking button and having that button update a variable count, etc... Any time you want help or advice, you can always pop over to my discord server (link up in the video description).
LOVELLY friend :D hiii Ok, so... in my 'point and click' adventure, i can set a 'start run front', 'turn right side' (to start to walk), etc, right? Its automatic it, like...'click in right side and the player WILL 'turn' (first ani) after 'walk' (ani2)?
Were you able to get this figured? I've been offline. Several things you can do. You would do a screen to world space action to get where your pointer clicked. Then you can use a "move to".
Thanks. I made the terrain in my Unity Terrain tutorial, the character you can download from Mixamo, and the trees and grass are assets you can pull for free from the Unity Asset Store. Here is the Unity Terrain and the other vids in this series: ua-cam.com/play/PLhvjMi_0yrQwA0yAkta7hOS7x5zc1hMBr.html
Hi Jerry, great tutorial. New to playmaker here, just a question on the movement side of things. I have the character moving and animating etc. But when turning from one direction to a other instead of instantly turning the character gradually turns as if I'm going round a roundabout to turn instead of just doing a straight 180 or 90 turn. I can see it does the same kind of thing in your vid but just wondered, any idea how to fix that?
Yep for me, I'm controlling the rotation of the character with the Smooth Look at Direction. If you want it to be a little more "snappy"(faster), you can play with the Speed and also the Magnitude (but playing with Speed mainly) will I think have it feeling a little better. Sometimes that's just what it takes to play with the numbers to make the game "feel" right. Now for my animation system on this example, I've kept it fairly simplistic. You can definitely make it way more complex with strafing and other positioning moves depending on what you want to do with your game. I'm not sure I answered your question but hope it helps.
@@BlizStudio That has sorted the issue in seconds, I thought I was missing a setting or something more complicated but thank you very much for the quick reply!

thanks Zahed!!
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks Kage.
Excellent tutorial....thanks
Thanks Rajdeep. I really do appreciate it.
can u make a video about mixing a lot of idle animations with playmaker please? for randomly using various idle anims
Camera doesn't follow character. Stays in position and characters runs away
Make sure in your virtual camera that you assign the player as the follow target.
I was with you right up until hitting Play after adding the Animator Controller and Idle Animation. My character is folded partly in half and stuck partway through the floor. Any idea? TY for the tutorial!

@@BlizStudio I'm gonna a check out your current tutorials for now. Any knowledge of getting me started will do. Thanks again❤
Sounds good.
Mmk I'm infuriated there was just 1-2 tiny little more steps I needed to take but I appreciate you putting this out so fast. I had no idea you couldn't use those animations directly.

Yep. You actually can use those animations that are internal but you can't loop them. All you really need is the animation out of each and the first model.
It was helpful, one question, what type of game are you planning to make with these tutorial series?
That's a good question. I'm thinking Breath of the Wild but these base mechanics can be used for all types of games.
What would you like to see?
@@BlizStudio same
Cool deal.
How do you guys understand what to do so well? I have all these specific game mechanics in mind with NO idea how to implement them.
lol. Time of playing around, creating tons of prototypes, and just experimenting. Once you start making tons of prototypes on different ideas, you'll start to find the commonalities and methods of creating.
