Those who are trying to do this in 2019 or 2020 by importing the package in unity and not getting animations here's how I solved the problem 1. Right click on player and show in explorer 2. Open the .blend file in blender 2.8 (I used blender 2.8 idk if it will work for other versions) 3. File > Export > as .fbx I didn't needed to check any boxes or anything, Then blender exported the fbx in same folder and I got all the animations with it inside unity
Just posting this for anyone else having the same issue that I had: If you can't press the "Configure" button at 0:50 because it's greyed out, even after you've hit "Apply," just change some of the settings in that area, then hit "Revert" for me, once I reverted, it allowed me to press "Configure."
This is a really helpful tutorial. If you want more animations besides just the running one, though, there's a place called Mixamo where you can download them. I watched this tutorial a year ago and I didn't use advanced animations because I couldn't find any and I didn't want to have to make my own. Anyways, if there any versions of my past self out there wondering the same thing, I hope this helps!
Just a note for people who run into this problem. Do NOT create the PlayerAnimator script in the script folder. Make sure it is made inside of the Assets project hub. Otherwise it'll throw an error that the parameter SpeedPercent does not exist.
In case anyone's having trouble around 3:05 - In 2018.3.5f1, I could not see the Motion fields right away;. You have to click on the Blend Tree node in the main window and then the correct fields show up in the Inspector. (It looks like it went there automatically in the version Sebastian is using, which is why I got a bit confused!)
Wow, Unity and Blender make it so easy along with your excellent teachings! I can't wait to learn more. Thanks a lot for making these videos. If I ever make any money from creating video games I will support you, but right now I'm too poor.
Export the model as an FBX from blender. Scroll down on the right side of the export window, open the animations section and make sure that all actions is selected. Then import that to unity and you should have your animations
If your character seems to run for a second and then freezes, you need to loop the animation time (an error I ran into). This is a great tutorial though!
Actual solution: If your animations aren't showing up in Unity (or blender for that matter) make sure you have Blender 2.79 installed. The asset doesn't seem to be compatible with latest bldner.
If you don't want to downgrade Dlender, then you can just export the 'Player.blend' file as a '.fbx' and then import that into Unity. That seemed to work for me!
Err, none of the animations come with the import? I double click in the blender and they aren't there, only something called a scene. I export it back to unity making sure all the animations are selected and still nothing. I only have one clip and it's called scene...
Solution from someone else: - Solution to issue importing the player animations- When you import the player to your assets, double click the player to open the file in blender. Once in blender, go to file -> export -> .fbx and you need to make sure the checkbox "All Actions" is selected. You can find that checbox on the right menu, at the bottom is a dropdown called "Bake Animations". Import that file on your project and you're ready to go :)
@@retroman7581 thanks for the reply. I saw that comment as well, but when I open with blender and go to export the file as fbx, the all actions option is already checked. I exported the file anyway, and I can finally configure it in unity but the only animation I can see is the one for scene. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, thanks anyway. :)
If your animations won't play, try making sure that 1. The parameter (in the animation component) and variable (in the code) names are not different (like "SpeedPercent" and "speedPercent", don't put any spaces in) 2. There's no spaces in the name of your script 3. The character model is under the Player, and the model is in the Avatar slot of the Animator component... 4. ...and the Animator component is directly on the model, and the Animator isn't on Player or Player Graphics
No Joke, I tried to find an animation Tutorial to what you did in 7 min like forever. Every tutorial I found is either 1 hour long, even then not what I need or something. Dude seriously this was amazing. Sorry for the Horrible English, I'm sleep deprived.
Hello Sebastian, first of all thanks for this amazing quick tutorial. It taught me some new stuffs, however I would like to ask whether you would do a integration tutorial of character walk/run while attacking animation? Would love to see that coming up in this series.
Had a problem where an 'Hips' transform would be discarded, and the player would therefore not move up and down when walking and running. The FIX was to go on 'Configure' > 'Muscles & Settings' > 'Additional Settings' > check the 'Translation DoF' box and apply
If any of you have a problem with the fact that the object Player does not have component Animator, but have Nav Mesh Agent and Player graphic have only Animator. You can fix it, aatached script CharacterAnimator to player and change one line in start method. Instead of animator = GetComponent(); , insert animator = transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent(); This way you get the transform of the first (zero in number) child of the object Player => Player Graphic. Just keep in mind the object Player graphic then must always be the first (null) child otherwise you will get an error.
There are so many people who quit this specific project because they were not able to animate..... I'm still currently trying to add different animations I found online to the character and continue this series but its a real pain. Very unfortunate to cutoff such a good series here...
Watching the tutorial in 2023! =) I have a slight issue with the character's movement. When pressing play to test it in play mode, the character's legs seems to be pretty shaky during movement. Can somebody help?
thanks I just made my anims 100% better, I followed this a while back, today fucked the animations up, but now by looking back got them to be better thank you
quick check here for anyone who use maya instead of blender(I think that's why I have problems with import and everything)...I use maya and I can't load .blender file in Unity even after I downloaded blender for some reasons. When I tried to load .blender file, a maya output window pop out and doing nothing basically(at least for 2 hours). My solution is just using python to unzip the player.unitypackage, then opening the file using blender(free to download). And then I output the file as .fbx. It gives me a .obj file, which works fine when I import it. Then I follow the instruction of Sebastian, but the animation was not working properly. Idle was fine. However, when the avatar runs, it was floating with its leg spilt. Then I found out that I should toggle the loop time in the animation. Then it works.
Hi Sebastian, great tutorial. I have a bit of a problem with configuring the avatar of the model I have imported. When I set pose to Sample Bind-Pose, the feet deform to a few units in front of the character, they look like something in front of the character is pulling the feet causing the extrusion. Do you know what might cause this and how to fix it? Thank you.
I got the same problem. It seems to be related to the bones used for the IK constraints. Those bones don't show up in the video but they do in my unity project. Did you find a solution?
@@ZactarZero Did you ever find a solution for this? I am having the same exact problem. My pole and IK bones show in Unity and are goofing things up, can't seem to delete them or anything :/
2019 You've changed the download file and My character doesn't have any clips. Can I still continue, or will this bite me in the ass if I try to complete the course?
Thank you for these tutorials, thanks to you and Brackeys I have modelled rigged and animated my first humanoid and it feels great! One question I have though, my characters turning circle is quite big, if you know what I mean. What would be a good way to tighten this or would it need further animations? I tried increasing the angular speed but it's already pretty high and upping it didn't seem to help very much. Thanks again, can't wait for the next video!!
Thanks for the reply! I have tried this and it helped a bit, but my character still moves a fair distance while changing direction, having played with it a bit I think it might need extra animations for what I want to achieve which is a more sharp turn around, so the model begins facing the direction he intends to move in before he starts running, but I think it might need some kind of sharp turnaround animation for when changing direction >90. I have also noticed that my player never actually arrives exactly where I clicked, there is a small "buffer" so the player goes to a point which is slightly above my curser and the "hit.point". My player character is zero'd to the parent object so there is no offset problem there, any idea why it's slightly off target? It's not a massive deal but am I making a slight mistake if that's happening or is it normal? Thanks again!
If your character's turning radius is too wide, like if you press to move into the opposite direction and they take a very wide turn, ensure your player shape(?) , that box with the circle inside it we set up in E01, is still inside your GFX. I had to reposition it, and it fixed the wide turning radius.
@@monkeysaur4305 This is probably way too late but it sounds to me like your parent that contains the model inside is not centered. the turns will turn around your parent where the navmesh agent is not around your mesh so you have to make sure parent is at the centre of model. hope it can help someone :)
Help! I am getting animation import warnings and my model goes crazy if I add an animator. At first, it said that animations can't start on a negative frame, so I've fixed that, but the warning didn't go away and it is still going crazy.
I got an animation import warning. The character starts very high up in the air then flies out in very wide arcs and back if I click for it to move, but still way up in the air, at tree top height.
I did everything you said but it wont let my go into play mode. It says something is wrong with clip 'Run', saying it has animation warnings that may lower retargeting quality. It also says that for walk and the Foot_L. Does anyone know the fix?
How do I fix the feet sinking into the ground? BTW i'm using a custom map that I created with the Unity Terrain editor. EDIT: I figured it out. If anyone else is having this issue you can solve it by opening the inspector for character's parent most object which is called "Player" in this series. In the Nav Mesh Agent component you need to modify the value of the "Base Offset"
I also had a similar problem, my character was walking into the sky as he moved around. This fix also worked and my character is now walking correctly. Just figure I'd give a heads up if anyone was having a similar problem to ours.
@@aidenmurray547 I opened it in blender, then went file>export>FBX. This dropped all of the files into the Assets\Characters\ folder, which you can then just remove the original "Player" inside the character folder and use the new one. Then go back to 0:26 and continue the tutorial.

I'm having massive issues with importing. I try saving the blend file in my project but one or more animations are missing, and random Armarture animations suddenly exist and they go super fast. I try exporting as an FBX with all the right setting and it still doesn't import all the actions despite telling it to. Tried changing the UnityBlenderToFBX to set the setting AllActions to true. I don't get why I keep having issues. Especially with my animation Idle. It just hates it for some reason and often doesn't exist. Everything else works. Especially the Walking animation, THAT always appears and constantly works.
im getting error on very last part, HELP PLEASE NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object CharacterAnimator.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/CharacterAnimator.cs:27) this is the line 27 animator.SetFloat("speedPercent", speedPercent, locomationAnimationSmoothTime, Time.deltaTime);
HEYY PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!! . WHEN I HIT PLAY MY CHARACTER IS ALREADY IN RUNNING ANIMATION WITHOUT CLICKING, IT'S NOT IN IDLE ANIMATION. HOW DO I FIX IT
Hello I am a Patreon supporter and I bought your highest tier where I could ask you a question on my personal project. I sent you a message on Patreon and I havent gotten an response. Just wondering if you got my message. Thanks!!
Could you please show how to do this with Blender FBX export and Unity import instead of using a blend file? Thank you very much! And thanks for that video, it's great! There's always something new to learn.
I already tried. And the "trying" is the problem, I'd appreciate if someone could show a proper workflow. The export and import isn't that trivial tbh. You end up in Unity with names which are not clear where they come from, you have to create fake users in Blender, you get all animations in 1 single animation instead of various animation clips in Unity, etc.
I have my own player model with peices of armour that are seperate meshes parented to the bones of the armeture. For some reason, when I import to unity, a random selection of the armour peices are moved weirdly, and when I do the t pose thing, they still dont move. I am very confused. Some of them work. Some don't. The same piece can work great on the left side but not on the right, theres not even consistency in the way it breaks. wtf.
Hello Sebastian, i need your help. In my project i made blend tree for locomotion while aiming at target, but i dont know how to get vector that i should pass into blend tree. My character can move around, but he must always face at given direction. Maybe you can solve my problem.
Hey, I have a problem. Ive made a stealth game with your tutorial, but my character is shaking (forwards and backwards) when moving. What can be the problem?
When I import my character and go into the Configuration there are green beams coming out of the hands and pelvis that are stuck in the center of the ground in between the characters legs also both the lower arm, upper arm and shoulders are red. When I force the T-pose the fore arms and hands are drawn towards that same spot and completely messes up my mesh. Any ideas?
It's throwing an error that there is not Animator attached to the "Player" object. I have the Player parent object with the script attached, but the animator is attached to the actual mesh graphic.
Hey, so I followed the 3d modeling tutorial and it lead me here. What do you do if it says "Required human bone 'LeftFoot' not found"? Is there any way to fix this if it happens to your model?
I have been following along with the playlist for creating the character blender model and the animations. but in my unity project my character moves with wasd and not with clicking the mouse button. So I do not have a nav mesh agent. I am trying to set the speedPercent correctly so the animation doesn't start until I press the buttons to move. When I currently hit play the animation starts right away while my character is in place before I use wasd to start moving around. Can anyone help?
Hi Sebastian! Could you please give any tips on exporting .fbx into unity from blender? Does importing .blend files have an advantage compared to .fbx files? Thank you!
I'm having a problem. I can't get the actions from blender to match the right clips in Unity. It's like whatever action I have selected on Blender it becomes it's the same for all the clips. Is there anyone that can help?
Hi Sebastian/Brackeys/everyone else. I am using the downloaded character (mine get screwed up, so saving time). He doesn't adhere to normal gravity. I have went through the last 2 videos twice to see what went wrong, but it's like as soon as I start the game, he is 2ft above the ground. How can I fix this? Also, the character download is about 15ft tall, just sayin...
All the classes and namespaces from Unity Scripting API are already referenced in the .csproj settings. I think your problem is coming from opening single file instead of projects. If you are using VS it should open when opening .cs files, but otherwise just double click the .csproj file in the Windows Explorer.
The only animation that shows up is one called "scene". I saw a lot of people solving this problem using blender but I don't have blender. Is there a away to solve this problem without using blender?
So, when I import the Player package it only imports a blank material and not the collection of colors you have. Any ideas? Even before I click the Import button, I can see that there is only one material coming over.
First of all, this playlist is great! I'm learning so much. I have a slight issue with the character's movement, though. When pressing play to test it in play mode, the character's hands and legs seems to be pretty shaky (maybe jittery is a better name for it) during movement. I assume this has something to do with the camera image effects, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can somebody help?
Yup same here. I think it cant load the CharacterAnimator Skript. Says "The referenced script on this Behaviour (Game Object 'Player') is missing!". Would realy appreciate some help!
Why when i drag my player blend file the character appears to have every piece of clothing on in the project window, and also every piece of clothing appear seperatly in the project window. When you dragged your blend file in the project window you dont see all the clothing.
Parameter 'speedPercent' does not exist. UnityEngine.Animator:SetFloat(String, Single, Single, Single) CharacterAnimator:Update() (at Assets/Scripts/CharacterAnimator.cs:23) Ehh help? Error on "animator.SetFloat("speedPercent", speedPercent, locomationAnimationSmoothTime, Time.deltaTime);"
Make sure that the float speedPercent on the line above matches the line where you are having issues. Otherwise just check everything looks normal. I am no expert because I'm a beginner myself so I'm sorry in advance if this does not work/ is not helpful.
I have been trying for an hour just to figure out why there character only has one animation clip "scene". I use the player package in the description. Would be grateful if someone can tell me how to make all animation like idle, walk and run show up.
Thanks to @Aaron Whitte If you don't have the animations for the model (Idle, walk, run), open up the model in unity and export it as an fbx. Thats what fixed it for me
For me the animations just dont play. On awake, the idle animation starts playing but when i run, the walk and run animations dont play. Could someone tell me what is supposed to cause the animations to play? I have just been following along with little understanding of what I'm doing.
Thanks to @Aaron Whitte If you don't have the animations for the model (Idle, walk, run), open up the model in unity and export it as an fbx. Thats what fixed it for me
I'm having a similar issue. Whichever action is selected is the only one that actually exports for me. I have the "all actions" box ticked and everything. Can't figure it out for the life of me...
hey Sebastian, I have integrated the 3 animations. But I decided to make a "Item pick up" animations. For some reason it doesn't show up in the assets folder. Can you help me wih this? Thanks.
If you created the animation after importing the blend file to Unity then it won't be there by default. You'll have to select your model asset and go into the animation settings window, and there press the plus icon at the bottom of the clips list to add a new animation. With that clip selected, go into the 'Source Take' dropdown and select your pickup animation. Then apply.
I am using Unity 2019.3.1f1: If i import the Blender file or .fbx Avatar into my Unity. I cant use the Animation Tab. In the Blender file theres only one Scene (Animation) and if i load the .fbx Avatar there is nothing in the Animations tab. Why is that? Need help. Also if i use your Prefab the script wont work :(
Says speed percent doesn't exist. Is this because I haven't done step by step verbatim the same code as the other videos? I thought you said it's not necessary to write it. But I guess it is because my player isn't animated still.
I have no errors in the CharacterAnimator script or anywhere i can see, but when i run the game my player walks around the map in a T-Pose. Can anybody lend me some advice? Watched the video 3 times now and i cant spot what i did
Try debugging. Put this in your Character Animator script, under update. if (agent.velocity.magnitude > 0) { Debug.Log("Agent is moving"); } else { Debug.Log("Agent stopped."); } This is to make sure the velocity is being set right. Comment that code out once you have it figured out. For example, if you were to control your character through the movement keys instead of following the tutorial, the velocity would never update, the character would never even animate because the character is not being given a velocity. Also, I would check that your animations work properly in the first place, go to the player graphic and view the animations under him. Press play to press the animation. Chances are the mistakes were made when you imported the blend file, so just following this tutorial again and re-importing will help.
unfortunately my model and rigs animations don't show up in the animation tab. they do show up under the imported objects parts, but they can't be configured in any way. if I try to right-click and 'open' them it says they are "read-only" for some reason. so I cannot enable loop time. I've tried fallowing the suggestions already in the comments section here but I've had no luck.
@@bmoreno-ri8 unfortunatly no. I did try for some time but no tutorial I've fallowed has lead to me being able to model and animate a character in Blender, transfer it to unity, and have working animations of the model in unity. :/

I have tried this and it helped a bit, but my character still moves a fair distance while changing direction, having played with it a bit I think it might need extra animations for what I want to achieve which is a more sharp turn around, so the model begins facing the direction he intends to move in before he starts running, but I think it might need some kind of sharp turnaround animation for when changing direction >90.
I have also noticed that my player never actually arrives exactly where I clicked, there is a small "buffer" so the player goes to a point which is slightly above my curser and the "hit.point". My player character is zero'd to the parent object so there is no offset problem there, any idea why it's slightly off target? It's not a massive deal but am I making a slight mistake if that's happening or is it normal?
Thanks again!
If your character's turning radius is too wide, like if you press to move into the opposite direction and they take a very wide turn, ensure your player shape(?) , that box with the circle inside it we set up in E01, is still inside your GFX. I had to reposition it, and it fixed the wide turning radius.
@@monkeysaur4305 This is probably way too late but it sounds to me like your parent that contains the model inside is not centered. the turns will turn around your parent where the navmesh agent is not around your mesh so you have to make sure parent is at the centre of model. hope it can help someone :)
very nice tutorials like them so much
Help! I am getting animation import warnings and my model goes crazy if I add an animator. At first, it said that animations can't start on a negative frame, so I've fixed that, but the warning didn't go away and it is still going crazy.
I got an animation import warning. The character starts very high up in the air then flies out in very wide arcs and back if I click for it to move, but still way up in the air, at tree top height.
When I import the .blend file then the only animation I have is "Scene" and with .fbx file it is just worser because there is nothing. Help?
You explain things very well.
I did everything you said but it wont let my go into play mode. It says something is wrong with clip 'Run', saying it has animation warnings that may lower retargeting quality. It also says that for walk and the Foot_L. Does anyone know the fix?
How do I fix the feet sinking into the ground? BTW i'm using a custom map that I created with the Unity Terrain editor.
EDIT: I figured it out. If anyone else is having this issue you can solve it by opening the inspector for character's parent most object which is called "Player" in this series. In the Nav Mesh Agent component you need to modify the value of the "Base Offset"
I also had a similar problem, my character was walking into the sky as he moved around. This fix also worked and my character is now walking correctly. Just figure I'd give a heads up if anyone was having a similar problem to ours.
Kevin Wang Only the environment is downloaded in devasset. Where else can I download it?
If you don't have the animations for the model (Idle, walk, run), open up the model in unity and export it as an fbx. Thats what fixed it for me
How do I export it as an fbx?
@@aidenmurray547 I opened it in blender, then went file>export>FBX. This dropped all of the files into the Assets\Characters\ folder, which you can then just remove the original "Player" inside the character folder and use the new one. Then go back to 0:26 and continue the tutorial.
Chris Pedron thanks so much! absolute life saver
@@chrispedron9935Hey it's me again. After I imported it and did all of the stuff, it was working fine. As soon as I put it in my project, the run animation plays constantly and the idle and walk never turn on. Looping is on and I redid the instructions twice now and couldn't find the answer. Did you get this same problem too?

LMTO I NEED TO SEE A CAT TPOSING XD
I'm having massive issues with importing.
I try saving the blend file in my project but one or more animations are missing, and random Armarture animations suddenly exist and they go super fast.
I try exporting as an FBX with all the right setting and it still doesn't import all the actions despite telling it to.
Tried changing the UnityBlenderToFBX to set the setting AllActions to true.
I don't get why I keep having issues. Especially with my animation Idle. It just hates it for some reason and often doesn't exist. Everything else works. Especially the Walking animation, THAT always appears and constantly works.
im getting error on very last part, HELP PLEASE

Could you please show how to do this with Blender FBX export and Unity import instead of using a blend file? Thank you very much! And thanks for that video, it's great! There's always something new to learn.
export fbx should work directly with factory setting. Just try a few times with
Different settings if something is not Right
I already tried. And the "trying" is the problem, I'd appreciate if someone could show a proper workflow. The export and import isn't that trivial tbh. You end up in Unity with names which are not clear where they come from, you have to create fake users in Blender, you get all animations in 1 single animation instead of various animation clips in Unity, etc.
PM me, I'll try to help you out
I have my own player model with peices of armour that are seperate meshes parented to the bones of the armeture. For some reason, when I import to unity, a random selection of the armour peices are moved weirdly, and when I do the t pose thing, they still dont move. I am very confused. Some of them work. Some don't. The same piece can work great on the left side but not on the right, theres not even consistency in the way it breaks. wtf.
why when i import from blender to unity i get null reference
Hello Sebastian, i need your help. In my project i made blend tree for locomotion while aiming at target, but i dont know how to get vector that i should pass into blend tree. My character can move around, but he must always face at given direction. Maybe you can solve my problem.
is there only an idle animation attached? Cause even in Blender there is only 1 animation in the player package. What am I missing here?
Hey, I have a problem. Ive made a stealth game with your tutorial, but my character is shaking (forwards and backwards) when moving. What can be the problem?
When I import my character and go into the Configuration there are green beams coming out of the hands and pelvis that are stuck in the center of the ground in between the characters legs also both the lower arm, upper arm and shoulders are red. When I force the T-pose the fore arms and hands are drawn towards that same spot and completely messes up my mesh. Any ideas?
It's throwing an error that there is not Animator attached to the "Player" object. I have the Player parent object with the script attached, but the animator is attached to the actual mesh graphic.
Just kidding. I had GetComponent instead of GetComponentInChildren..
Your videos are great! Do you use a MacBook Pro or an iMac?

I have been following along with the playlist for creating the character blender model and the animations. but in my unity project my character moves with wasd and not with clicking the mouse button. So I do not have a nav mesh agent. I am trying to set the speedPercent correctly so the animation doesn't start until I press the buttons to move. When I currently hit play the animation starts right away while my character is in place before I use wasd to start moving around. Can anyone help?
My mesh is very weird, it seems to be because of the IK bones. In the video they don't show up in the armature, but here they do. What is the problem?
still works for me :)
Hi Sebastian!
Could you please give any tips on exporting .fbx into unity from blender? Does importing .blend files have an advantage compared to .fbx files? Thank you!

I'm having a problem. I can't get the actions from blender to match the right clips in Unity. It's like whatever action I have selected on Blender it becomes it's the same for all the clips. Is there anyone that can help?
Why will my player be in a running/ walking animation even when I am standing till
I also don't have any clips showing when i import the player package..
Hi Sebastian/Brackeys/everyone else. I am using the downloaded character (mine get screwed up, so saving time). He doesn't adhere to normal gravity. I have went through the last 2 videos twice to see what went wrong, but it's like as soon as I start the game, he is 2ft above the ground.
How can I fix this? Also, the character download is about 15ft tall, just sayin...
Nevermind, fixed it, it was the Base Offset on the character that was messing it up.

All the classes and namespaces from Unity Scripting API are already referenced in the .csproj settings. I think your problem is coming from opening single file instead of projects. If you are using VS it should open when opening .cs files, but otherwise just double click the .csproj file in the Windows Explorer.
Sebastian my graphics does not follow the player but the cube did any ideas?
Is Player the parent?
The only animation that shows up is one called "scene". I saw a lot of people solving this problem using blender but I don't have blender. Is there a away to solve this problem without using blender?
blender is free
So, when I import the Player package it only imports a blank material and not the collection of colors you have. Any ideas? Even before I click the Import button, I can see that there is only one material coming over.
same here
First of all, this playlist is great! I'm learning so much. I have a slight issue with the character's movement, though. When pressing play to test it in play mode, the character's hands and legs seems to be pretty shaky (maybe jittery is a better name for it) during movement. I assume this has something to do with the camera image effects, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can somebody help?
I know your comment is 3 years old, but did you manage to resolve this? I have the same problem..
i have no errors, but the animation doesn't work
Yup same here. I think it cant load the CharacterAnimator Skript. Says "The referenced script on this Behaviour (Game Object 'Player') is missing!". Would realy appreciate some help!
Nevermind I forgot to rename "NewBehavior" to "CharacterAnimator" in the script.
Had the same issue, went back to Blender and made sure the rig was in "pose mode" not "rest mode"
Probably missed the step to click on the player graphic and drag the player animator in "Controller"

Why when i drag my player blend file the character appears to have every piece of clothing on in the project window, and also every piece of clothing appear seperatly in the project window. When you dragged your blend file in the project window you dont see all the clothing.

Parameter 'speedPercent' does not exist.
UnityEngine.Animator:SetFloat(String, Single, Single, Single)

Ehh help?
Error on "animator.SetFloat("speedPercent", speedPercent, locomationAnimationSmoothTime, Time.deltaTime);"
Make sure that the float speedPercent on the line above matches the line where you are having issues. Otherwise just check everything looks normal. I am no expert because I'm a beginner myself so I'm sorry in advance if this does not work/ is not helpful.
C# does not allow for different datatypes to be put into a float. your first one is a string, not a float i guess.

hi, option configuration, not active, because ?
I have been trying for an hour just to figure out why there character only has one animation clip "scene". I use the player package in the description. Would be grateful if someone can tell me how to make all animation like idle, walk and run show up.
Thanks to @Aaron Whitte
If you don't have the animations for the model (Idle, walk, run), open up the model in unity and export it as an fbx. Thats what fixed it for me
Open up the file in Blender, do File > Export and Export it as FBX with all animations ticked.

For me the animations just dont play. On awake, the idle animation starts playing but when i run, the walk and run animations dont play. Could someone tell me what is supposed to cause the animations to play? I have just been following along with little understanding of what I'm doing.

I need to see vid about texturing the character... Or materialing ? :P Cus I guess you will use materials instead of textures
I can't get it to work, all they do is run.
I opened the model in Blender, and there is only the run animation. Something is broken.
I'm having a similar issue. Whichever action is selected is the only one that actually exports for me. I have the "all actions" box ticked and everything. Can't figure it out for the life of me...
hey Sebastian, I have integrated the 3 animations. But I decided to make a "Item pick up" animations. For some reason it doesn't show up in the assets folder. Can you help me wih this? Thanks.
If you created the animation after importing the blend file to Unity then it won't be there by default. You'll have to select your model asset and go into the animation settings window, and there press the plus icon at the bottom of the clips list to add a new animation. With that clip selected, go into the 'Source Take' dropdown and select your pickup animation. Then apply.
Thanks man, greatly appreciate it.
I am using Unity 2019.3.1f1: If i import the Blender file or .fbx Avatar into my Unity. I cant use the Animation Tab. In the Blender file theres only one Scene (Animation) and if i load the .fbx Avatar there is nothing in the Animations tab. Why is that? Need help.

That version doesn't work, I downloaded 2018 LTS and that worked though.
when i import, material folder not created. i use blender 2.49.. anyone has same issue?
Says speed percent doesn't exist.
Is this because I haven't done step by step verbatim the same code as the other videos? I thought you said it's not necessary to write it. But I guess it is because my player isn't animated still.
you need to rename the variable and not the layer. for this click on parameters in the Animator

I have no errors in the CharacterAnimator script or anywhere i can see, but when i run the game my player walks around the map in a T-Pose. Can anybody lend me some advice? Watched the video 3 times now and i cant spot what i did

Try debugging.
Put this in your Character Animator script, under update.
if (agent.velocity.magnitude > 0)
{
Debug.Log("Agent is moving");
} else
{
Debug.Log("Agent stopped.");
}
This is to make sure the velocity is being set right.
Comment that code out once you have it figured out.
For example, if you were to control your character through the movement keys instead of following the tutorial, the velocity would never update, the character would never even animate because the character is not being given a velocity.
Also, I would check that your animations work properly in the first place, go to the player graphic and view the animations under him.
Press play to press the animation.
Chances are the mistakes were made when you imported the blend file, so just following this tutorial again and re-importing will help.
