I have tried every single variation and permutation that I can think of.
I start at make human while I'm prototyping because it's fast. I then take it to Blender where I apply a bvh file.
I adjust the graph editor because the bvh files never get it quite right. Then I import into Unity.
I think the root node would be [character/master/root]. I set the root position x/y baked. I have set the rig's root to the above.
My character either jumps back at loop, which I know means wrong root node, but when he doesn't do that there is no forward movement whatsoever.
Unless I click is kinematic which removes the interaction with physics.
When iskinematic is clicked it moves like I want it to, but you know that isn't good for physics. What can I try next?
i found a solution i had not seen yet and i went back to make human and imported a new unity rig from https://forum.unity.com/threads/makehuman-and-unity.617311/
and exported to blender using the unity export...
then i exported to unity and made a humanoid animation it seems to be working better

I've created a very simple humanoid in Blender and defined 5 animation actions. They all look good in Blender, but for some reason after importing the FBX file in Unity the arms are set incorrectly.
This is my Idle animation in Blender:
And this is how it shows up in Unity:
As you can see the right arm is rotated incorrectly and this problem applies to 3 out of 5 actions I have.
All the actions have an initial and final keyframe for every bone, to make sure they get reset when the animation cycles or switches.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
After digging for few days and searching for an answer, I stumbled upon this Unity question https://answers.unity.com/questions/944333/animations-from-blender-going-super-weird.html which partially solved my problem.
Instead of exporting every animation I decided to push the ones I was interested in exporting to the NLA editor and select these settings in the Export menu when exporting the FBX:
NLA Strips: to export all the NLA strips I pushed to the stack
Key All Bones: to make sure a channel is automatically created before exporting for every bones (even the ones that didn't have an animation in an action)
Force Start/End Keying: to add a keyframe to both start and end of the animation
These steps seem to have solved my problem.
These are my export settings:
The problem:
I have a character model with a Nav Mesh Agent component. It moves perfectly well to any destination I tell it to move (using the NavMeshAgent.destination property).
But this suddenly fails as soon as I use an animation controller I downloaded from the store. The character won't run to it's destination; instead, it will endlessly run around it in circles.
I'm not sure why this happens, but I suppose the running animation somehow cripples the character's ability to turn. The Inspector, in the import setting of the relevant .fbx file shows: Average Angular Y Speed: 0.0 deg/s.
What I really, really fail to understand is why this keeps happening even though I have explicitely set NavMeshAgent.updatePosition and NavMeshAgent.updateRotation properties to true. The way I understand the documentation, this should make the character move as the Nav Mesh Agent wants it to move, and not as anything else (animations included) wants it to move?
How should I fix this problem? How should I force the animation not to meddle in the movement?
Do all your animation in place and use code to do the movement and you can uncheck root motion and use state machine values to get a better movement or use root motion and let mecanim`s retarget engine do the blending so go see for yourself what gets you better result , so I guess your problem is that your animation are not in place.
First: one of the biggest plus of Unity is its mecanim. Disabling root motion is negating a big advantage.
Second: the reason your character is running around probably is because the animator and the navmesh agent are issuing conflicting orders. Use updatePosition to false and updateRotation to true. Hence, the animator controls how fast you move and the navmesh agent controls the angular speed. Other posible cause is that your destination is unreachable. Check the Y component of the vectors and insure they are coplanar.
I'm trying to do some Augmented Reality in Unity using the Vuforia plugin. I've managed to get everything working (I'm using a 3d model of a car), only the position of the car relative to the marker is wrong when I come to preview it (click the 'Play button at the top and watch through the computer's camera - is 'preview' the right name for this?).
It should be sitting on the the marker in the center, but instead it's floating above the marker and off to the side by quite a bit. The positioning is definitely right in the program itself, so I'm not sure why this isn't reflected in the preview.
Also: at the moment the car is simply an untextured grey object. I realise the textures are included in a subfolder, however I can't drag the entire car's folder (including the Textures subfolder) into the ImageTarget, only the .3ds file itself. Does anyone know how to apply the original textures to the car?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!

Well, to start answering your question about the drifting away part, you've probably got a Rigidbody attached to your Car? Well, if that's the case, then Go to the Inspector where the Rigidbody is and you'll see constraints.
To avoid it floating off, you might want to check Freeze Positions for whichever direction it needs. Probably Y axis.
Now, I'm not entirely sure if you're using Vector.AddForce to move your objects, but if you are then just check if your car can move if you've put all constraints on.
If you can't then in your code trying using Object.Rigidbody.SetActive(true) when you need it to start moving, and Object.Rigidbody.SetActive(false) when its done.
On the other hand, if you aren't using Vector.AddForce() then remove Rigidbody component if you've used it.
As for the material. If you've got the material in your folder that you've downloaded then just drag and drop it into Assets. Now sometimes your car may be one solid mesh, but some times it may be multiple meshes. So which ever the case. Drag the material from your Assets onto the Hierarchy panel over your car mesh/meshes and it should turn into that color.
Hope it helps. :)
When I played imported animation, the character's fingers get curled and his mouth opened. I might be able to fix that by editing adjusting bones in unity. But with so many characters and each time dragging them from assets to scene.
It's a bit too much misery and it's slowed me down, I need this get done fast.
Unity Masters, PLEASE HELP ME.
the bones in your imported model rig must contain all the fingers and other parts bones that doesnt move correctly , if it does then assign them to your avatar as you are setting up your avatar (look here for avatar setup) , after that if your animation animates fingers then your model will also
So that's right you don't get timely help. AnyWays,
[SOLUTION]
The animations was imported from iClone 5. Now I was importing animation separately and then applying it to the .fbx character. So I alternatively imported the animations embedded with the character. Now this is helpful only in case the original character is also being imported from iClone. Then in the rigged configuration I reset the pose>Enforce T-pose>automap> again automap>enforce T-Pose. Worked for me.
[SOLUTION2]
I had alternative in which I could mask hand animations (not using them) and remove jaw from 3d exchange while exporting fbx. But they looked so lovely I had to look further.
Sometimes you can't find the solution, I guess you are the only solution then. That's how everybody learns. hopes it helps.
first time posting on stack and everything looks promising so far! I had a bit of a complicated question here so I'll do my best to provide exact details of what I'd like to get accomplished. I'm working with a third person controller in unity, so far everything is going great. I've dabbled with basic up and down platforms, a little glitchy but things work. Anytime my player runs through a mesh I make sure the mesh collider is working and a 'rigid-body' is attached set to Kinematic. Here's the kicker, in my game I have turning gears which the player can jump on. This is great except for the player doesn't turn with my gear, which would make sense according to my game-play. What would be the process for getting my character to interact with this animated mesh? I imagine some sort of script which my nooby mind cannot fathom at this point in my unity career. If anyone out there knows the solution to this, I would love to have any assistance, either way I'll plugging away at a solution. Thanks again!!
This is assuming that you're using the packages that ship with Unity3D, which it sounds like you are. After importing the Character Controllers package, you'll have a bunch of scripts in the Standard Assets\Character Controllers\Sources\Scripts folder, in the project hierarchy view. There's a script in there called CharacterMotor.js, attach that to the same GameObject you're running ThirdPersonController on.
Essentially this script adds more interactivity between the character and the scene. There's several methods inside this script that automatically move the character when in contact with a moving object (as long as it has a collision mesh) basically by inheriting the object's velocity.
If your gear/cog wheel has a proper collision mesh set up, adding this script to your character should be all that you require.
