Hi, thanks for the useful tutorial. As some other users found out, when going uphill LookRotation(transform.forward, hit.normal) doesn't do the trick, because the forward vector is still aiming at (0,0,1), but you'd want it to aim towards the slope's angle. I don't fully understand why the method commented below works, that's why I wanted to contribute with the one I'm using: Vector3 forward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, hit.normal); anim.SetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.LeftFoot, Quaternion.LookRotation(forward,hit.normal)); I project the transform's forward on the plane defined by the hit normal, and then use that as a forward for the LookRotation call. This makes the foot be paralel to the surface with that normal.
Can you tell me where ı should add your "Vector3 forward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, hit.normal);" script. ray = new Ray(m_animator.GetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot) + Vector3.up, Vector3.down); if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, DistanceToGround + 1f, layerMask)) { if (hit.transform.tag == "Ground") { Vector3 footPosition = hit.point; footPosition.y += DistanceToGround; m_animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, footPosition); m_animator.SetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hit.normal) * transform.rotation); } } } }
Hi again, there was a comment below that asked why not use distance instead of curves to decide the amount of IK weight on each foot. The distance would be the distance between the foot transform and the floor before applying IK. This gives you a sense of when the foot is supposed to be on the floor according to the animation, just what you do with the curves. The difference is that if for instance I have a locomotion blending tree with 25 different animations to cater for walk, run, strafe, left and right, backwards and forwards and turn on the spot, I don't have to adjust 50 different curves to have the feet only glued to the ground when they are supposed to.
6:08 "That way you don't get an error if you forget to add an animator" Seems like it would be pretty helpful to get an error if you forgot to add the animator.
I'm doing this on a blend tree with an idle, walk and run animation blend. I've about gotten right. The run animation is the last one that needs curve adjustments! Making character's feet match the terrain adds a LOT of polish to your game project. It looks awful when feet are floating in the air or clipping thru terrain ... totally kills the immersion. But when their feet perfectly fits the ground they walk on, it feels like a real world you can get into! :-)
you should dynamically place the collider based on the height difference across both feet - that's what we do effectively as we shift weight ourselves - so when walking across uneven terrain you will see the person lowered, feet at different heights, and then on flat terrain he'll be walking around at full height so the offset of the collider should be floor+foot difference - he'll "sink" that much with his most extended leg reaching the ground and his other leg bent up, then you need to look at which foot is on ground and animate the collider with the adaptive leg gait so you are raised more on the one that is higher up etc.
This channel is awesome. I love how you linked the github link here, in case we need reference or in case of error. These are the unity tutorials we need.
I think it is better to use raycast or a trigger to know when the foot is hitting the floor to set the footweight, specially if you are going to have multiple animations like running or jumping.
Excellent tutorial, b3agz! What I needed. However I did have to do some searching to make sure the foot also gets X rotation (tilted forward/back and not just left/right). Several people commented already about the easy fix: Animator.SetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.LeftFoot, Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hit.normal) * transform.rotation); I would encourage you to put some kind of note to this effect in your video's description. On another note, due to my model's configuration I actually ended up with feet way too close together once I implemented your solution. To remedy this I ended up casting my rays down from each foot's CALF bone (the bone right above it). But thanks again for an awesome tutorial!
If anyone is having a problem, make sure the script that you are calling the OnAnimatorIK function is attached directly to the game object that has the Animator component. I ran into a problem since I had the script attached to a parent object that contained my character and the animator component.
To fix the problem at 21:10 wouldn't it be better (in terms of scalability) to just avoid the foot IK placing if the ray (in the line 53 of the minute 20:22) does not hit anything "past the foot"? I mean: if the ray detects the ground under the foot (not the foot under the grounded surface), don't force the placement. Doing it as how you show it isn't very scalable because you should add that curve at every animation. I implemented the code this way: i.imgur.com/6YTLS6f.png
Thank you. This worked much better for me! No manual curves thank goodness :D Except I changed "animator.SetIKRotation(foot, Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.forward, hit.normal));" to "animator.SetIKRotation(foot, Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hit.normal) * transform.rotation);", as suggested by another comment.
The best Foot IK tutorial on TH-cam ! Like + Subscribed ! Just have some questions.. The animation "walk" that you already have, did it move the entire legs or just the thigh / knee? If I make an animation with the foot keyframmed, does it work?
Thanks! The walk animation I used was a complete animation, I think it just had less arm movement than a regular animation. Regarding keyframes, afaik (and I'm not certain) keyframes should work as long as the weight is not 0 when the keyframe happens.
How can I do it with blend tree animations? It is not working for me??? Edit : I had a generic character that is why it was not working but when turning in to humanoid the character goes through the ground and animations do not work.... PLZ HELP
So, in case someone has some problems with the height of the character on Terrain thats on different heights, i made this code that will adjust the height of your character depending on the height difference of your two feet. //Checking distance from LeftFoot to Ground Ray ray1 = new(LeftFoot.transform.position, Vector3.down); RaycastHit hit1; if (Physics.Raycast(ray1, out hit1, 5f, layer)) { Debug.DrawLine(ray1.origin, hit1.point, Color.red); } else { Debug.DrawLine(ray1.origin, hit1.point, Color.blue); } //Checking distance from RightFoot to Ground ray1 = new(RightFoot.transform.position, Vector3.down); RaycastHit hit2; if (Physics.Raycast(ray1, out hit2, 5f, layer)) { Debug.DrawLine(ray1.origin, hit2.point, Color.red); } else { Debug.DrawLine(ray1.origin, hit2.point, Color.blue); }
LeftFootDistance = hit1.distance; RightFootDistance = hit2.distance; //Clamping controller height, so it doesnt do any weird shit. 1.25f looks just about normal controller.height = Mathf.Clamp(controller.height, 1.25f, 1.82f); //Because of the placement of the LeftFoot and RightFoot object, there is a little bit offset to the ground. //With these 2 if statements we set the offset to 0 if (LeftFootDistance < 0.06) { LeftFootDistance = 0; } if (RightFootDistance < 0.06) { RightFootDistance = 0; } //If the left foot is above the right foot if (RightFootDistance > LeftFootDistance) { if(!move.isWalking) controller.height = 1.82f - RightFootDistance * 2; } //If the right foot is above the left foot if(LeftFootDistance > RightFootDistance) { if(!move.isWalking) controller.height = 1.82f - LeftFootDistance * 2; } if (move.isWalking || hit1.normal.y > 0.93) { controller.height = 1.82f; }
I get alot of "does not exist in the current context" LeftFoot, RightFoot, layer, controller and such. Im kinda new to this, any idea why? I got a hunch but isnt experienced enough to know how to fix it
@@knagen aye so this simply means that these variables were not created in your code yet. You cant see it in the Code Snippet above, but i have Variables called "layer" "controller" "LeftFoot" and "RightFoot" and thats why i use them. So to fix your problem you will need to create Variables with these names. You can of course change the names, but when you reference them they obviously need to have the same name as they had when you created/intialized them. "Controller" is a CharacterController, "Layer" is a LayerMask and i believe the Foot Variables were GameObjects
Great tutorial, but the Quaternion.LookRotation should be replaced with this if the feet or the character aren't perfectly straight: anim.GetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.LeftFoot) * Quaternion.FromToRotation(anim.GetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.LeftFoot) * Vector3.up, hit.normal)
Same problem, the knee don't look natural, It's because of the capsule collider, the height need to be at feet level, but if you do that the feet il effect will disappear, so, expect for making the collider thinner or play with height and the transform position.y, there isn't much to do except scratching my head.
Nice video!! You think you can make a tutorial on how to detect walls so with ik character will touch walls with his hands while walking or idle? that would be awesome
Thanks for the video very useful! got a question where is the tag "walkable" coming from? Did you change the tag to walkable of the left foot transform on your character? Thanks!
Awesome tutorial, but late I am late. I got question, the foot is working above the base not below base, how can I fix that. like if I m on slop, one leg inclines, but not other.
Great tutorial but no matter how I tune the settings my character looks like he's crouching on a flat plane. I use navmesh agent and setting it's base offset brings some issues in this solution :/ Maybe im missing something? Thanks nevertheless :)
Hi, Unity Keeps Referring To: "'AvatarIKGoal' does not contain a definition for 'RigthFoot' " i Know This Isn't Normal, But Just Asking If You Faced The Same Issue, Tanks!
any way to adjust the y position of the hips to allow for more dramatic differences in height between the feet ?, i want to bring the hips down so one foot isn't floating
since you're raycasting from the foot to find its ground placement, couldn't you use the height of the foot transform to decide whether to stick to the ground or not instead of a curve on the animation?
Hi! The curve isn't so much deciding when to stick to the ground as it is determining when it's ok to make the decision. We don't want the foot sticking to the ground during the high points of a walk cycle
I have an issue with this script, unity seems to come to an error saying "IKleftfoot" does not exist, well not just the left foot, but all of the characters limbs, please help when you can.
Instead of "Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.forward, hit.normal)" use "Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, hit.normal), hit.normal)" to correctly rotate the foot forward and backward too, not just to the sides.
Hello! Great Video! Truly amazing! I just have one question, I'm trying to follow what you have done here using an animation that I got on Mixamo and idk if it works the same way, I didn't finished yet but I'm afraid that maybe it doesn't work. Have you tried? It should work? I'm thinking about the hierarchy of my Skinned mesh! Should I use a animation in place? Or not? I was trying first using an idle but I really wanna lern whats should I do to replicate your tutorial! Again, amazing work! Thanks!
Great video! one question... if u make a trigger under each foot, could u use them as a sensor to see if object's colliders are Horizontal?(Because u have to enable IKPass only if objects have any rotation) (So, u can easier enable/Disable the IKPass). (The trigger could be each foot's MeshCollider and reduce them's height a little bit?). Thanks!
Hi, thanks for watching! I'm not sure what your use case is. If you mean using triggers instead of raycasts for foot placement on flat ground it could be done but it would be a bit hacky. If you wanted to make the height less, the values can be altered to achieve that.
@@b3agz i'm new at unity (2weeks more or less) and idk if what i've said it's possible... I mean, i've understood that for a "fluid" walking animation u have to dissable IKPass (enable FK), and that's only when u have an object with non-horizontal surface (using the normal animation), so, what i've said it's to use a trigger to see if that/those object/s is/are horizontal or not... So, in the script, start with an OnCollisionEnter, save the default feet position and rotation and then ask if that object it's horizontal...if it's not, write all your reposition code, and if it's horizontal leave it as default or reassign default values... (To do it completely u could ask if it's horizontal and/or higher/lower than default values). It's not a crazy idea, but idk if that it's possible
@@joacotossello if I'm understanding that right (and there's a good chance I'm not) it would have a very limited usability. You could compare the desired rotation of the feet to a collided object but that would only work with flat objects like cubes or planes. You could get the normal of the area collided but only with proper colliders, not triggers.
how would this change with the animation rigging system? I have tires that I want to follow terrain, but I'm a Unity n00b and have no idea how to do that in Unity (I could do it in Maya no problem...but, as far as I can tell, Unity's animation rigging has nothing like a geometry constraint >_
Hi there I have my own character and but I need some setup tutorial because it does not have a ready ik system, can someone please recommend me any tutorial on setting it up?
hey dude amazing tutorial, I was wondering if I can make a variable that handles the curves instead of the animation doing it. Because the animation window doesn't show me the curves thing
Sir problem,I don't use animator's parameters to play animation bcz it gets confusing after 10 animations in it so, I use animator.Play("Animation name"); to play animation.

Seems like it would be pretty helpful to get an error if you forgot to add the animator.
xD
Put "[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]" in front of class declaration and forget about checking every frame if animator component exists or not.
Yeah this sort of thing bothers me. Don't turn off warnings! Don't turn those things off! Solve the problem you caused instead!
so that would just go at the top like in this documentation? docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RequireComponent.html
put this at the top:
if (anim == null){
Debug.Log("Animato is NULL!!");
return;
}
you could even put LogError( ) if you want it to be an error

I was trying first using an idle but I really wanna lern whats should I do to replicate your tutorial! Again, amazing work! Thanks!
It should work. Since those animations have bones too. It should. Maybe some format changing is required but it is unexpected
Mate.... What.. how did you over ride the animation...?
Great video! one question... if u make a trigger under each foot, could u use them as a sensor to see if object's colliders are Horizontal?(Because u have to enable IKPass only if objects have any rotation) (So, u can easier enable/Disable the IKPass). (The trigger could be each foot's MeshCollider and reduce them's height a little bit?). Thanks!
Hi, thanks for watching! I'm not sure what your use case is. If you mean using triggers instead of raycasts for foot placement on flat ground it could be done but it would be a bit hacky. If you wanted to make the height less, the values can be altered to achieve that.
@@b3agz i'm new at unity (2weeks more or less) and idk if what i've said it's possible... I mean, i've understood that for a "fluid" walking animation u have to dissable IKPass (enable FK), and that's only when u have an object with non-horizontal surface (using the normal animation), so, what i've said it's to use a trigger to see if that/those object/s is/are horizontal or not... So, in the script, start with an OnCollisionEnter, save the default feet position and rotation and then ask if that object it's horizontal...if it's not, write all your reposition code, and if it's horizontal leave it as default or reassign default values... (To do it completely u could ask if it's horizontal and/or higher/lower than default values). It's not a crazy idea, but idk if that it's possible
@@joacotossello if I'm understanding that right (and there's a good chance I'm not) it would have a very limited usability. You could compare the desired rotation of the feet to a collided object but that would only work with flat objects like cubes or planes. You could get the normal of the area collided but only with proper colliders, not triggers.
@@b3agz thank you!
Question： What if it's not a fbx asset, such as manual animation , how to configure animation Curves?
my object disappears when I place first animation on timeline but if I apply Generic Rig then character position does not change , how to fix it ?
You dont want the variable to be public but [SerializeField] private
This is absolutely perfect! And f**ck Animation Rigging that is still is crashing unity sometimes :)
how do you turn this forward walking animation into a system where the character can walk forward, left 45 degrees and right 45 degrees?
Hoot?
how would this change with the animation rigging system? I have tires that I want to follow terrain, but I'm a Unity n00b and have no idea how to do that in Unity (I could do it in Maya no problem...but, as far as I can tell, Unity's animation rigging has nothing like a geometry constraint >_
Hi there
I have my own character and but I need some setup tutorial because it does not have a ready ik system, can someone please recommend me any tutorial on setting it up?
I'm the 34k viewer =)
Would it be possible to do the same with 2D IK character animation?
Good !
How This works with blend tree animations?, my foot bounce, like sometimes work and others don't
hey dude amazing tutorial, I was wondering if I can make a variable that handles the curves instead of the animation doing it. Because the animation window doesn't show me the curves thing
it works also in 2d?
Feels like the function needs a refactor ... nya
It for some reason does not work for me
Sir problem,I don't use animator's parameters to play animation bcz it gets confusing after 10 animations in it so, I use animator.Play("Animation name"); to play animation.
